Stay in the heart of it all at Madison landmark Capitol Square hotel
The Best Western Plus Inn on the Park Capitol Square is located directly across the square from the capitol building and guests enjoy more than easy access to government offices. Stroll the seasonal farmer's market, browse Art Fair on the Square or catch a Concert on the Square. Dine at Jerome's Restaurant and enjoy cocktails at the Signature Lounge. Within the hotel amenities abound as well, including a heated indoor pool and Jacuzzi, fitness center and free valet parking. Use the complimentary Wi-Fi Internet access from anywhere in the hotel.

 

Highlights
  • Indoor heated swimming pool
  • Complimentary shuttle to some area attractions (restrictions apply)
  • On-site restaurant and lounge
  • Fitness center
  • Free wireless Internet throughout hotel

 

Rooms
Guest rooms and suites at the Best Western Plus Inn on the Park Capitol Square are classically decorated and offer plenty of space for a comfortable stay. Large TVs with cable channels, full-sized ironing boards and complimentary Internet access are standard. Upgrade to a suite at the Best Western Plus Inn on the Park Capitol Square for additional space and an in-room refrigerator.

 

Features
It would be hard to get any closer to the action on the Capitol Square than at this superbly located hotel. The Best Western Plus Inn on the Park Capitol Square is Madison's only hotel on Capitol Square. The hotel offers the best access to all the events there, including the seasonal Dane County Farmer's Market and Art Fair on the Square. Go beyond the square and explore the shops and restaurants on State Street or wander over to the University of Wisconsin campus, only blocks away. A jog on the Lake Monona Walking Trail is a great way to see the city and get in a workout. If the weather is less than inviting, use the fitness center or indoor pool at the Best Western Plus Inn on the Park Capitol Square. When relaxation is on the schedule, start with a soak in the Jacuzzi or a casual meal at Jerome's Restaurant.

Downtown Madison

I had a great experience. The room and linens were high quality. Free wi-fi, free valet parking, and even a free welcome drink in the bar. Tasteful, clean bathroom with nice fixtures. The price I paid was a bargain for the location. I would definitely stay again.

Comfortable good location

Was in town for one night business meeting. This was a great location, convenient to everything I needed. The room was comfortable and a good value for the price. The hotel itself looks a little old but that didn't really bother me. One really nice perk is a free shuttle to the airport. The person that drove me was really nice and friendly. Greatly appreciated!

Plenty to do nearby, good value for money

I got a great deal staying this place in 2010 -- which led to an incredible first impression. That and our room had a sliding door that opened up directly onto the pool area. Even though the deal wasn't available this year (I booked late) I was willing to pay a bit more for the killer location, amenities, and responsive and friendly staff. Free overnight parking was this year's bonus. So I parked the car and we walked to great restaurants, State Street, and the Saturday farmer's market. Even when a bargain-basement deal is not available, this is my go-to hotel in Madison.

Location and Size a Plus!

Truthfully I didn't have a ton of expectations. It was one of the cheaper hotels I could find online. I was really pleasantly surprised! It is in a supreme location, right next to the capital and a short walk from State Street. The room, a double was quite large. It had a sitting area, larger fridge and the bathtub was very nice. Noise wasn't an issue. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Oh! There's free parking. Don't be thrown by the slightly dated lobby. The rooms are well worth it.

up to expectations

Hotel has excellent location, just in front of Madison's beautiful Capitol and at walking distance from restaurant/shopping area. Room was large and clean. Breakfast is not included in hotel room fare. I went to the cafeteria/restaurant in the lobby, but no cappuccino was available, too bad!
