Reviews for Best Western East Towne Suites

Review 1:You actually have to book using the shuttle 24 hours in advance, so when I got to the airport I had to take a taxi. There goes an extra $25. The moment I get into my room the carpet looks like it's been consistently walked on with dirty shoes since the early 80's. Generally I take my shoes off upon entering my hotel room, I did not here. The whole room was eerie and smelled like the walls had soaked up a little too much smoke. They said it was non smoking though. The bed was as hard as a rock with a large mirror right in front of it. Honestly felt like I had entered a creepy sex dungeon lol. Never ever EVER will I stay at this place again

Review 2:Location wasn't the very worst but definitely too many cons to ever stay here again.

Review 3:bed not comfortable; condenser in the fridge really noisy which meant very little sleep as disturbed all through the night. only stayed one of our two booked nights because of this

Review 4:ease of access

Review 5:the hot tub was dirty. it had sand on the bottom.

Review 6:the staff was very friendly and helpful. many restaurants within walking distance. had a shuttle to and from the airport.

Review 7:staff was friendly and helpful. Location right off the freeway and near many shops & restaurants. A bit far from downtown Madison, but getting there via Uber worked very well too.

Review 8:False advertising on airport shuttle. Had to take taxi and staff was rude about trying to explain the policy. Breakfast is included in price but we were leaving to early so our breakfast was not included. The staff was not nice about letting us grab a piece of fruit. Very rude employees everywhere we turned

Review 9:The room was comfortable and clean

Review 10:Uncomfortable beds that squeaked when ever you moved, not 100% clean, very noisy at night.

Review 11:Breakfast was delicious, staff was friendly, in a great location

Review 12:I booked for a room with double bed and got a pull out couch for bed #2. I had to make up the bed and it was only fair. Breakfast was fair.

Review 13:The staff was very helpful when we call for directions.

Review 14:Breakfast could have been good however it seemed like there was only one person on to "man" the breakfast..ie make eggs, sausage and refill waffle batter. Sat am was dicey so we skipped Sun morning since it looked even worse. Our room was nice and roomy but smelled like smoke...mattress extremely hard

Review 15:location and price. You get what you pay for.

Review 16:The breakfast was poor. For example, the yoghurt was handed out to you, only if you ask. That was weird. The guy entered the kitchen and brought the yoghurt, during the 3 days stay.

Review 17:Location, close to East Mall was good (however too far from all other things in town); Room was large enough.

Review 18:Not enough light in the bathroon. I thought the half wall between the sleeping area and the sitting area was unfortunate, in that the wall blocks the natural light to the sitting area.

Review 19:Very clean and fresh. Friendly, helpful staff. Convenient location near mall and restuarants, just not downtown. Loved the balcony.

Review 20:The was an awful stench in the 3rd floor hallway.when I informed the front desk staff about it. ..he did not seem concerned. And he did not seem surprised.

Review 21:Breakfast was nice

Review 22:I had $100 worth of Best Western gift cards I recently received through my Chase credit card that were not honored. I was very disappointed that I was unable to use them. I asked when I checked in and when I checked out. I have used these in the past and never had any problems. I think they were too much trouble for the staff to deal with.

Review 23:Breakfast buffet was good.

Review 24:Bed was not very comfortable. I think the problem was actually the pillows. Next time I'll bring my own.

Review 25:Friendly staff, crab rooms, great location. I have stayed at this hotel several times before. Nice breakfast!

Review 26:The bed was very squishy and uncomfortable, even compared to other hotel beds.

Review 27:Staff was courteous, room clean, pool was nice, atmosphere pleasant, breakfast reasonable.

Review 28:I asked for a first floor room and we were given a room close to everything we wanted nearby-we didn't have to carry our luggage very far! AND. . . we enjoyed the fact that the room was able to block out noise from other rooms and the hallway! The breakfast was fantastic! It was a nice stay!

Review 29:Came to check in for the night, arrived at 11:45 pm. My room had been checked into by someone else, because some hotel employee didn't verify the id of the other person. Sharon, who was working the desk, was rude and impatient. She didn't let me finish my statements and nearly yelled at me when I asked questions twice.

Review 30:The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and the wifi was fast.

Review 31:The toilet seat was very loose. The breakfast had a very limited selection compared to hotels like Country Inn & Suites (our usual place to stay)

Review 32:The pullout sofa bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept on. Pool area was very nice.

Review 33:Noisy pool. children's scream was heard everywhere till late hours.

Review 34:Very good breakfast, friendly staff, comfy bed. Wi-fi worked well, room and bathroom clean.

Review 35:Location was great- close to restaurants/ fast foods and a mall. Room was spacious. Lovely hot breakfast with enough variety for every diet needs.

Review 36:1. Front desk argued with me and insisted I requested upper level when I did NOT. She insisted I did even when I said no I did not! 2. My sliding door would not lock. A guy came in and looked at it.. Said it was broken and NI BIG DEAL I WAS ON THE 4th FLR!.. What is that? That is NOT secure for guests and definetly should not have said.. NO BIG DEAL!! He continued to say he would mark it and have someone fix it later.

Review 37:Location Cleanliness Breakfast... The staff worked hard during the breakfast as far as keeping food out and areas clean

Review 38:There was no elevator to the second floor. The hallways were extremely warm. And no one was at the front desk so we had to call someone to check us in.

Review 39:Nothing really stood out

Review 40:Shuttle and breakfast did not start in time for me to get to my flight and that was part of the reason I chose this hotel. But it was worth it.

Review 41:Courtesy of staff, cleanliness, great room

Review 42:Queen Suite was inadequate. Pull out didn't really fit the space. Bedding for pull out was second rate Your "type of traveler" box above does not fit our description and does not have an "other" choice. Another sign of inattention to customers

Review 43:Location worked for us

Review 44:I arrived from very long trip 12:00 AM .when I go to the room I surprised the balcony wasn't able to lock .the room was open to the parking area, that means anyone can go inside . receptionist wasn't able to change my room because the hotel was full booked . so I decide to leave and search for other hotel, after that I try to contact to the manager he wasn't available because of weekend!!

Review 45:I didn't like any thing

Review 46:Was told about free airport shuttle but when I called a day to my arrival, I was told it will not be available because my call was less than 24hrs to my arrival date.

Review 47:Close to the airport

Review 48:It had only 2 towels & 2 hand towels in the room. You had to ask for more if you wanted them. I have always had a room that had 4 towels & handtowels

Review 49:Should state up front on posting that shuttle to airport must be reserved 24 hours prior to stay, and that there is no shuttle available 24 hrs. only during day shift when two staff are present.

Review 50:Very safe, clean, and friendly feeling. Close to airport and restaurants, nice stay before we flew out the nest morning.

Review 51:I booked the room online but had to pay for my little dog when i got there. I was not allowed to pay cash so i had to leave to buy a pre paid credit card...which ended up costing my 23.95 just to pay 20 dollars which i did not like!

Review 52:Nice size room with great sleeping bed. Room was clean with coffee pot, microwave and refrigerator.....all that we needed.

Review 53:We needed to bring our little dog and it was no problem. kids were able to swim in a nice pool and everyone liked the breakfast. Comfy bed and friendly helpful staff. Close to restaurants. Would plan to stay again if in the area.

Review 54:Just would like to have seen some tourist information on display. There was none

Review 55:The staff was very friendly and helpful. The entire hotel was neat and clean. The rooms were nice and clean, we enjoyed our stay. The kitchen staff in the morning for breakfast was awesome.

Review 56:Needed q-tips but there was a fee for just a small pack. Could have bought a whole box at the store for that. Most hotels I've stayed at have complementary toiletries if you forget something.

Review 57:Clean room. No "hotel" odor. Excellent continental breakfast. Price was reasonable for the area.

Review 58:While a "do not disturb" sign was on the door. A knock ( I was on a call) and an forced attempt to enter the room at 9:10 am Sunday morning for cleaning. After checking in after 11pm Saturday night, the attempt at room cleaning was not appreciated.

Review 59:Breakfast food and choices fresh and good.

Review 60:The wifi did not work. The tub had a giant crack, the staff was rude, this was the only hotel across the country that charged me for my dog, the parking lot was a sheet of ice, I was woken up at 8 am by housekeeping when checkout isn't until 11, and the room was grimy. I will never stay at another best western after staying at thus location.

Review 61:A bit dated, but always clean.

Review 62:Staff are always very friendly; breakfast is basic but good; very quiet, despite being so near to the mall and main road.

Review 63:My only 2 complaints, usually when making a reservation, a credit card # is given and you pay when you leave - I gave a credit card # and it put a "hold" on the amount until I checked out - I didn't care for that. I noticed a unpleasant odor in one of the elevators.

Review 64:I can't say enough about the staff - the front desk staff were very friendly, polite, and accommodating - the heat was already on in my room, so it was nice and warm, the room was clean and set up in a comfortable way -

Review 65:The COLD weather LOL

Review 66:I liked the free Wi-Fi and the fitness center as well as the breakfast and store for snacks. The location among all the restaurants and stores was also very helpful.

Review 67:Caution: read the fine print- the hotel "shuttle" needs to be scheduled 24-hours before you need it. A ridiculous Catch-22 requirement that likely requires you to book the shuttle before you arrive, or even before you book the hotel. If you screen lodging by shuttle availability, SELECT ANOTHER HOTEL. I will not return to this hotel.

Review 68:Staff were uniformly friendly and pleasant. Rooms quiet and comfortable.

Review 69:Pool was too cold for kids to play in for very long. Air temp in the pool room was too cold for comfort when wet.

Review 70:Good price compared to other hotels in the area. Substantial breakfast--eggs, sausage, bacon, and waffles available everyday as well as the usual English muffins and bagels. Pleasant, helpful staff. Comfortable rooms and beds.

Review 71:Bed sucked. Worn out concave made both of us roll toward the center. Can't say enough about a good place with a bad bed.

Review 72:Clean hotel, good service, nice room overall.

Review 73:More breakfast variety would be nice.

Review 74:The staff was really nice. When I had a problem with my room the front desk moved quickly to get me another room. That room was perfect. The location is great. Plenty of resturants in the area and a straight shot to downtown. I will be staying there next time I come.

Review 75:Somewhat dated, shabby, probably wouldn't stay there again...was disappointed I didn't get my Best Western points.

Review 76:Great location, friendly staff...

Review 77:We got there on a cold, rainy day right after a few warm days. The achad been left on in the pool area and it was freezing in there! The manat the front desk was really nice and changed the thermostat right away,but it took half of the weekend for the room to warm up. There'salso a layer of sand in the bottom of the hot tub... Could use acleaning. Neither the cleaning lady nor the morning kitchen man spokeEnglish. Had to find another person to understand what I was asking for.

Review 78:It's very easy in and out off of Highway 151. It's also within 4blocks of several kinds of restaurants and across the street from a good-sized mall. Very convenient! The front desk people provided excellentcustomer service on all shifts,

Review 79:Breakfast dnt woth

Review 80:The standard should matcj with the rates they are charging. They shouldimprove the menu and quality of food serving in breakfast.

Review 81:We thought the bathroom facilities could have been larger and the toilet facilities were very low for an older American.

Review 82:We liked the size of the facility and easily accommondate our whole family. The complimentary Breakfast was the best we've encountered any place we've stated

Review 83:Temperature of pool - quite cool so didn't use.

Review 84:Breakfast and friendly chef Quiet night's sleep Nice choice of restaurants within walking distance Great location Friendly, helpful staff

Review 85:-arrived earlier than expected and room was ready to go -great hot breakfasts with plenty of tables and lots of choices -room was quiet and everything worked well (a/c, fridge, shower pressure, wifi)

Review 86:The lights being out in the sign showing from the highway overpass made it hard to locate.

Review 87:The hot breakfast of eggs, potatoes and sausage astonished me.

Review 88:I went down for breakfast but found it closing and the gentleman did not ask if I wanted anything. He just kept on cleaning it up. It was my mistake. I thought I was told breakfast was served later than it was. some areas in the halls were messed up (wall paper scuffed up) around the elevators I think, but the other areas were fine.

Review 89:the room was very nice the desk was very helpful price was ok all around had road work so the detours added an extra challenge after dark. When this stops I am sure ease of access will be back.

Review 90:Desk clerk was not very helpful; room was too hot, even when we turned up the air conditioning; I prefer a sink outside the bathroom for flexibility.

Review 91:Beds were decent; the person running the breakfasts did a great job; good location near many businesses & interstate.

Review 92:42" TV with bad signal being fed to it. Noisy back parking lot in the middle of the night. Breakfast bar a bit overwhelmed in the morning (hotel was full).

Review 93:Good location, big rooms, clean.

Review 94:I booked this hotel because it listed free airport shuttle service. I requested pick up from airport with flight arrival at 21:55 but no shuttle until 22:45. Then we called the hotel and the reception said they failed to arranged it and asked me to take taxi. I took taxi cost $ 20 and they reimbursed me when I checked in. But 2 days later I found out that this taxi fare of $ 20 was charged again to my credit card together with the room bill. This is real chaos. Next day I checked out and I tried to ask for shuttle bus to send me to airport. Surprisingly the hotel said it must be booked 24 hour in advance. As I stayed there only for 12 hours I ended up can't use their shuttle bus. I stayed at this hotel room 211 in Aug/6 out Aug/7

Review 95:coffee wasn't that good and the pool towels were small and scratchy

Review 96:Very high speed internet, clean, friendly staff, spacious room, fast check in and out, excellent price for the quality

Review 97:⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️ (Above)

Review 98:Eh. It was okay but DEFINETLY no the best. The last time I was a a BW hotel it was an AWESOME exploration. You really let us down on this one…

Review 99:Only issue was that breakfast was a bit lacking- skim milk was out, no creamer/sugar in the breakfast room although it was available at the hallway coffee stations, sausage instead of bacon :( Saddest about the bacon.

Review 100:Ease of check in, location was convenient, rooms were clean, coffee stations in the hallways :)

Review 101:The beds should be updated, not that comfortable but not horrible either. Hair dryer needs updating.

Review 102:clean, spacious rooms . . .pretty good breakfast, sundries shop with beer and food, close to restaurants; rooms have frig and microwave.

Review 103:The young gentleman working behind the desk when I checked in that evening was extremely helpful and charming. It was wonderful to see a friendly face after a long drive.

Review 104:Pool is too cold. There have been a lot of comments about it, but it was still very cold. Kids still loved it, but could not swim as long as we wanted to tire out the kids before getting back on road... please fix this.

Review 105:Breakfast was great for traveling family. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Will stay here again on our regular drive to MN.

Review 106:slippery tub & shower, needs a grab bar for safety. very small bathroom

Review 107:friendly and courteous staff, nice breakfast, good facilities. convenient location to restaurants, banks & shopping. Easy access to interstate.

Review 108:a surprisingly dreary and shabby atmosphere in the lobby was heightened by the fact that the receptionist stood filing her nails at the desk; she lacked the personal energy or interest to do her job well, so while she did nothing wrong per se, you did not have the feeling of being in a place where someone was in charge who could help you if needed; the morning staff was better, but physically incapable of lending a hand with luggage even if I paid her the requisite $2 per bag. All in all it was a roof over my head, but I had expected a place of comfort and rejuvenation given the webpage pictures, and that it was not. I would say there must be more pleasant places to stay for the same price.

Review 109:parking right outside my room allowed getting the bags in through the veranda

Review 110:the bed was not comfortable at all. did not sleep at all
