    Portage Rest Area 11, Poynette
    Bruce K.

    It's been over an hour since the last stop and so I stopped this afternoon for a quick bathroom break and a walk to stretch my legs. This rest area is along the part of the Interstate where I-39 and I-90 and I-94 run together and is just north of Madison. The rest area has a large building with a huge open area for walking. It's still a little brown in mid-April but I expect it is very nice during late spring and summer. Picnic tables and dog walking areas. Two parking areas for cars and a separate large parking area for trucks. This is a pretty super rest area and information center. [Review 17176 overall - 187 in Wisconsin - 693 of 2022.]

    The restrooms are clean and everything is automatic. The facility itself is clean and well kept. There are vending machines, tourist information and even a play area for kids.

    A conveniently located rest stop right off the Interstate 90 highway east bound down to Madison with plenty of restrooms located on both sides of the building. There's also water fountains and a pay phone for those looking to make a quick call. The building is fairly modern with nice amenities, and I was impressed at how pretty the sinks in the bathroom were. Aside from the bathrooms, there's a small sitting area with benches, along with brochures along the walls. Quite frankly, it's quite spacious for a rest stop even if there's no official food vendors in the area. However, there are some vending machines located on one end for quick snacks and a coffee machine for those needing some coffee as well. Although we only spent a short time at this rest stop, I did feel more refreshed and well rested after taking a short break here. Highly recommend this stop for others who need a quick rest break.

    Clean, large rest stop. Nice views. The walk might be bit much for people that have issues walking but there are sidewalks.

    Hubby and I came here on 7/3/26 to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This place is a short drive…read morefrom Wisconsin Dells which is a plus. Checked in at the front desk. The man at the desk was friendly and was explaining about the amenities of the hotel, including the free breakfast. All of a sudden, this angry woman who was a guest at the hotel, came over with the rest of her family which included children and interrupted by saying loudly "our room on the 2nd floor has bed bugs!" and motioned her young daughter to show the guy at the front desk the video footage on the phone. I instantly got alarmed and wondered if we made a mistake staying here. Our room was #104 so we carefully inspected the room when we got there and all looked okay so we decided to stay and enjoy our room. Our room was the 1 King Bed, 1 Room Suite, Sofa Bed with a private Jacuzzi. We were very pleased with the room as it was spacious, nice sized Jacuzzi to fit 2 people, loved the big, full-sized AND separate lighted cosmetic mirror by the sink where you can adjust the lighting! There were reading lights by the bed on each side. There is a shower in the bathroom which includes a place to sit which was a plus but suggest putting a safety mat there because it's very slippery and could be a potential fall risk. Appreciated very much the safety bar on the outside of the shower. One small one inside the shower would of been good also. Plenty of towels in the room, even for the jacuzzi. Chair, Desk, Microwave, Frig and Coffeemaker are all in the room. Here, there is a complimentary breakfast and the food is good. Nice selection of things to choose from. It would be nice if they changed up the breakfast - it was the same each day. I got frustrated by people seeing it's a long line for breakfast but was making two and three sets of belgium waffles in the waffle maker (each wafflemaker made 4 waffles). That's not a fault of the hotel but a sign to state one per use when in line might help. Big ups to the guy restocking food/kitchen supplies for the breakfast - he was working really hard. I also saw him working the front desk. Nice sized bed - hubby was comfortable sleeping and me relaxing on it. Sofa bed's mattress was super thin, not comfy, I could feel the springs. On July 4th, we were sitting on the bed, getting ourselves ready for the day. We were close to be ready, when we heard a knock on the door and someone say "housekeeping" AS THEY OPENED THE DOOR, COMING INTO OUR ROOM! It was two women and when they looked at us in the room they then said again "housekeeping". I told them "you can't just barge into someone's room, you need to wait to see if someone comes to open the door first. We'll be leaving in the next 10 minutes". I have never had that happen at a hotel before - what if we were indisposed or something else? Hope they don't do that to any other guests. They were friendly otherwise and did a good job cleaning our room. Lots of parking here. Our room was close to exiting either in the front by the lobby or the side door that took us to where our car was parked. Thank you Comfort Inn & Suites, we enjoyed our stay.

    We were recently evacuated from our homes due to record flooding in our neighborhood. We spent the…read morefirst night somewhere else, who booked out our room, so we needed a quick backup plan. We reserved at Comfort Suites for the weekend. I forgot his name, but the light haired gentleman at the counter was awesome!! He got our room cleaned early so we could get settled. That's when things went from a 5 star to 1. Room 101 was awful! From the permanent mark on the carpet from someone dropping an iron on the 1980's carpet, to the disgusting windows, to the smell of "old" everywhere, this was awful. Clearly it was kept for people with disabilities from all the bars and lack of furniture. I immediately went back to the desk to a different counter person with black hair. I told him to cancel our 2 nights and that we would brave the flood waters to get back to our house. I told him why and he didn't seem to care. Worse yet, I was charged the full room rate, plus another $39 for cancellation of the next day. We will never consider this location in a time of need again, not recommend to anyone coming to our area.
