| - A great stay in a great hotel.
I stayed in the Governor's Club portion of the Concourse for a business trip in Madison.
The room was decent: comfortable bed, nice view, lathery soap, and only a couple carpet stains.
I got an excellent rate for the Governor's Club floors by mentioning that I was in town to visit [big clinical testing lab company*]. Being in the Governor's Club** has its privileges: free breakfast buffet and 6 hours of complimentary drinks, including Spotted Cow and top-shelf liquor with really solid hors d'oeuvres every night. Top that, my Kimpton friends and your one hour of beer n' wine.
Staff was helpful in pointing out local attractions and breweries and whatnot.
Parking for hotel isn't clearly indicated: it's down the ramp prior to the hotel entrance. Clearance is supposedly 6'2"; still, I had to duck from banging my melon on a pipe, and I wasn't even wearing heels.
If in Madison again, I'd definitely stay at this hotel again.
* I'm not going to mention the name of the company, but maybe you can figure it out and get the Gov Club for the cost of a regular room. And speaking of which, next time you travel anywhere, look up some of the biggest companies in the area, then call your hotel and request a company's corporate rate. Nobody can prove you're *not* going there for business, and you'll get a great deal and many bonuses. Obviously, this won't work for stays over New Year's Eve or Mardi Gras or in Cancun, but works fine for the Springfields and so forth in the US of A.
** As the WI Gov is a serious sphincterplop, he's been kicked out of the Governor's Club. Fine with me.
