Baymont by Wyndham Madison West/Middleton WI West

8/10 Good
"Upon arrival I was disappointed that they didn't have a room for me on the first floor as I requested when I made the reservation a week prior. However, the front desk attendant was very kind and friendly so I immediately got over my disappointment her name is Cat, she was delightful! The pool is beautiful very large and perfect temperature. Another great staff member is Jazz she is adorable and very down to earth and kind those two young ladies made my trip wonderful."
