We've stayed at the Campus Inn twice (when my daughter first looked at U Wisc -Madison; then again last week when she moved in as a freshman), and already have a third stay booked. We were very pleased with the hotel, particularly its management and staff. The hotel is convenient to campus, State St. shops and restaurants and the Capital area, the rooms are comfortable, clean and while not the largest, are fine and the size you'd expect in a city hotel. What really stands out is the management and staff. From the front desk, to the housekeeping staff, to those working the complimentary breakfast and bar - - all were friendly, customer-focused, competent, helpful and interested in providing the best service and experience. Quite coincidentally, I had the opportunity to speak to the General Manager, Bill Wellman, who is clearly well-experienced, knowledgeable and professional in his selection and development of his staff, and the hotel reflects that. Overall, a good pick for a comfortable stay and terrific location.
