Baymont by Wyndham Madison West/Middleton WI West — Hotel in Madison

One full year ago, I stayed at this god-forsaken hotel in the middle of nowhere, Wisconsin. Never did it cross my mind, that I would ever visit this state of melted Cheese and fried fish Fridays, but here I am, one year later writing a review. Yes, you’ve read that correctly and twice… ONE YEAR AGO! One year ago, my life changed forever. Twas, the night before my drive back home that I stumbled upon this humble establishment. I was looking for a modest hotel to engage in the nights pleasures. My dearly beloved coworker, was going to pay me a visit and finally become…unhinged. We had been flirting the entire summer, but there was something holding us back; our workplace and the demanding guidelines of professional etiquette. True Romance cannot come to fruition at one’s place of work, for the risk is too high. And everyone knows one should not defecate where they eat. Apparently, dating coworkers is a no no… but this time, I didn’t receive the memo. Needless to say, we flirted heavily and began writing to each other. On and on we would fantasize about what would happen outside of work. So on my last weekend there, I planted the seed of love. My great, flaccid loins of amoré were tingling and boiling more than Luigi’s 2 spicy meatballs. Oh, Mamma Mia! My newly crowned dark mistress, obliged to my hotel idea and so we met for the first time outside of work at The Baymont by Wyndham.

It was pure bliss. Oh yes. The ninth horn of ecstasy was about to be blown by cupids little buttocks.

But in order for my night of pleasure to ensue accordingly, I needed help from the front desk. Surprisingly, I was greeted by first class customer service. The likes of which I had never experienced in a place with such a reasonable price. What I needed that night for my plans of love to occur was: -a bucket of ice -12 cups -a beer pong ball -and perhaps a cocktail to loosen mood and tongue

Not only did the manager on duty help me with all of that, but the most wonderful and beautiful hotel front desk clerk I’ve ever seen, facilitated my requests. Her name was Savannah. I will never forget her. She was as graceful as a soft wind in an endless green prairie. Her intelligence and efficiency rivaled that of a nuclear physicist. And her customer service skills made me question my sanity. For a brief moment, Savannah made me feel like I was transported to the Ritz Carlton in Monaco. Her blonde hair flowed like a golden ocean of sand in Egypt and all of the customers present were stricken in awe by her elegance and attentiveness. Was this the Baymont or was I in the Twilight Zone?

How was I receiving such glorious customer service on a Tuesday night in the middle of nowhere, Wisconsin? It was truly a testament to the hard work and dedication of the organization responsible for excellent training and customer satisfaction. I 100 percent recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Wisconsin.

Savannah and the manager even gave me a parting gift for beer pong: a SpongeBob SquarePants rubber ball. Thank you!...

Front desk staff was nice. AGM in new and could care less about the property. I've stayed here for years and it's recently been on a steady decline. Upon arrival in the hotel staff were nice. We came from about thirty minutes away with the whole intentions of spending the weekend in hot tub. The first night we were there on Friday.We noticed dead bugs, hair, and other stuff floating in the hottub. We brought it up. To the front desk staff and I even offered to use the skimmer to clean it myself. Unfortunately for these staff members they did not have access to the key to the area where the skimmer was kept. The the next morning I brought it up to a staff member. The staff member called the maintenance employee to inform them what was going on. The maintenance employee was rude to the front desk employee on the phone. While NOT on speakerphone I could hear him tell her he cleaned it twice today rudely. I offered again to do it, just they had no skimmer out. She said I shouldn't have to and We, with the amazing lady at the front desk, looked at hottub as she took pictures. The maintenance guy walked up as we were doing this. He ignored me when I apologized and offered to clean it myself. We walked to our room to change and 30 min later he was gone and there were still things floating. This was there until our final day right before checkout out. We spent money to get away in a hottub we were in for 5 minutes. All because the employee doesn't want to clean out the pool or let me do it. If it's that gross, close it. That way I don't book a whole weekend wanting that and waste money. I have gone here for years, back when the bar was open and things were cleaner. I wiped everything down because it was sticky and dirty. I found a rusty razor blade, individual blade not a shaving razor hanging out by the lights. It was disgusting up there too. I wiped everything down on checkout. I put all trash in bags and tied them up. I stopped linens and sorted them. I threw the trash away from behind the TV. I have pictures of 95 percent of this as well. The front desk people were great, but things were dirty. Bugs on the walls. Do better..the pictures below are what I cleaned from the room on arrival. One cloth per surface. You can see the hottub after the "maintenance" guy "cleaned" it 3 times the day before we...

Overall this is a nice, large hotel with a lot of amenities for the reasonable nightly fee (we paid $72). They are dog friendly (my reason for giving them a try) at no extra fee. There is a restriction that a dog can't be left alone in the room for longer than 15 minutes (to guard against barking problems). There is also parking for larger trucks/vehicles. The hotel's location was quiet, near other hotels and restaurants, and it's only about six miles/17 minute drive from the University.

There is a very large indoor pool and also a large hot tub in an enclosed center courtyard. There is also a fitness center, although I didn't see it personally. There is a bar open in the evenings inside the same area used for breakfast-- a bottle of beer was about $4. The breakfast included a couple hot items, including make-it-yourself waffles and a mixed dish of sausage pieces, potato pieces, onion, and multi-colored peppers.

The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and we were offered an upgrade to a suite after we had an issue with our initial, standard, king room. Regarding our rooms, both rooms were large and appeared clean, and had a large supply of towels. Both rooms had microwaves and fridges-- the suite had full-size appliances (including a stove) in a kitchen/dining area.

The problem we had with the first room was that we found a baby bed bug (red, nymph stage). My wife had quickly looked at the mattress upon first checking in and had seen no obvious signs of infestation, but we later found the baby crawling on the bed as we were hanging out watching TV. Although bugs are enough to freak anyone out (including us), we realize that any hotel can have a problem at times-- this is a busy hotel and all it takes is one hitching a ride in on a customer.

Because we saw no signs of a larger problem we are willing to overlook this. The evening desk clerk quickly changed our room after I showed her the bug. Our second room was fine except for a remote control that didn't go with the second TV in the room, and a missing lightbulb in the lamp by the bed. We let the day desk clerk know of the issues-- and she verified that the evening clerk had already...
