Top Governor Nelson State Park Hotel Reviews

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Madison

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Hampton Inn & Suites Madison / Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room great stay"

Graduate by Hilton Madison

8/10 Good

"The Graduate has a great location. The room was spacious. The amenities were first class, as was the staff. My major issue was the wi-fi. My room was on the 6th floor, and I could not get wi-fi in the room. I needed to go down to the lobby, where I was close enough to the router. I remember having had to do this in the early 2000s, but in the last 5 to 8 years or so, the wi-fi has been available in every hotel room I've been in. If the Graduate's system needs to be upgraded, they should do it ASAP."
