Amazing Customer service in Madison, WI

I was absolutely blown away by the quality of service I received at the Doubletree in Madison. I had not spent a lot of time in Madison in over 20 years and the staff was very focused on customer service. It was like staying in a 5 star hotel in a much larger city.
