I had never stayed at a Wyndham Gardens property before; I doubt I will again. Was in Madison for a wedding and picked this site based on online reviews. My experience:
PRICE: There was a big University of Wisconsin game, so every hotel in the area was jacking up prices. We paid at least $100 more than we would on a non-game weekend. Not specific to the Wyndham Gardens, but never appreciate price gouging.
SERVICE: Between my sister (also staying at this property), we had contacted this hotel three times in advance about early check-in. We hoped at least one of our rooms might be ready 90 minutes early so we could change into our wedding attire. On the phone we were told there could be no guarantee, but the hotel would try as best as possible to accommodate. When we showed up at the property before the wedding, the desk clerk assertively made it clear this was NEVER going to happen.
CLEANLINESS: We ended up changing for the wedding in the hotel's public bathrooms. The stall in the men's room was gross; look at the photo.
ROOM: We didn't get to check-in until after the wedding that night. Our rooms were relatively clean -- there was some trash left in the shelves under the bathroom sink -- but everything was dated. The bed was hard as a rock and the AC airflow was inconsistent throughout the night.
BREAKFAST: The "free" continental breakfast was average: nothing exceptional, but nothing bad either.
