Theres a holiday inn and sleep inn by the airport. This allows easy access on the 794 to the HD museum.
We did the steel toes tour which included a tour of the motor factory.

 

Iron Horse is right across from the museum. It is pricey though. Plenty of places downtown. If you get out by the airport the prices drop, but there is some major construction going on so you would have to deal with that. If you have any questions let me know as I live in the City. Also I would recommend comming up the Mississippi River and cutting over in Prairie Du Chien. Just a little south of Madison is New Glarus which has a great brewery so stop in a have one. I would avoid riding up central IL at all costs. Used to be stationed in MO and hated that drive/ride.

 

from prairie du chien take take the river road north to 133 to 33 really nice ride,i would pony up the bucks and stay downtown,airport area is under construction everywhere and so is 794 on the bridge.dont miss a real butterburger at solly"s.

 

The iron horse is the best place to stay. we stayed there in june and it was the best place i have ever stayed. the best customer service i have ever had
its a 6 star hotel all the way

 

Cheapest motels would be like 13th street and College or 13th and Rawson. Gets you off the freeway just as the construction gets nuts. Use city streets to get to the museum. This area is not hard to navigate. The area around the museum makes me a bit nervous as far as how safe my belongings are. I know the Iron Horse is a good place but check the cost.

 

Well got a room at the Crown plaza, it is on 6401 13th street man so I will have to figure how to manuver around thru town, got a gps so that may help.. I heard the lake front bruery is good, I like micro brews cuz reg beer seems like water compared to a good micro brew....

 

A month ago, we stayed here: http://www.hotelofthearts.com/ - we parked on the sidewalk next to the front door (after asking if it was ok)

It is about a mile north of the Museum - actually on the same road.

Downtown is fun as was:
* steel toe tour
* museum tour
* casino
* miller brewing tour
* Pabst mansion tour
* Kettle Moraine Forest ride
* Downtown brew pubs (lots of them)
