AmericInn by Wyndham Madison West

10/10 Excellent
"The room was super clean and pretty! Even the walls and floor were in great condition! I really loved how clean everything was. The bed was comfortable, the tv had a zillion channels, the bathroom was very clean, the elevator was clean, the pool was clean and warm! I loved the non-slip floor around the pool. The breakfast was pretty good too. I've stayed in many 3 and 4 star hotels in Madison, and this is a new favorite!"
