| - Great hotel right in the heart of the Capitol of Wisconsin.
Stayed at the Concourse Hotel and Governor's Club (never found out what the Governor's club is) over a Saturday night and found it to be a clean, classy hotel, with an extremely friendly staff.
We booked through Hot Wire at $77 per night. With taxes it came to about a 100 bucks, which we thought was good considering rooms were going for $180 on their website, pre-tax. One thing with hot wire rooms, hotels sometimes put you in the less desirable rooms. I think this may have been the case at the Concourse. They gave us a room on the third floor with a view away from the Capitol... but it worked out because the pool is on the third floor and the kids loved it.
Positives: Clean room, nice decor, awesome location, super friendly staff, very nice pool, hot tub, and sauna.
The only negative was the restaurant in the hotel. We had breakfast there on Sunday, sort of a buffet brunch thing. Although it wasn't very expensive, for 5 of us $58, it was very unimpressive. A world class hotel should always have a world class restaurant...just my opinion. But there are tons of restaurants within walking distance so no worries.
A few hints: The parking garage has an extremely low ceiling, so if you have a tall vehicle or a pick up truck like I do, be wary. And getting out of the building on a Sunday when the hotel is booked up on Saturday night can be a bit hectic.
Overall a great experience, nice hotel, and have I mentioned in a great location (3X right). If I ever get back to Madison, I would definitely stay at the Concourse.
