Ohio State and U Wisconsin

We plan to visit these schools (party of 2), what hotel should we stay? Bare bones and clean is sufficient criteria as long as its close to the schools.

In Madison- Downtown/University area :
Hilton Madison Monona Terrace
The Wisconsin Union Hotel(on campus)
Hyatt Place Madison Downtown
Madison Concourse Hotel
Hotel Red

If you have a car you stay in Middleton(west side of Madison) It is about a 15 minute drive down University Ave to the campus. nice area but might be less expensive:
Hilton Garden Inn -Middleton
Staybridge Suites-Middleton
Country Inn and Suites -Middleton
Courtyard Madison West-Middleton
Residence Inn Madison West-Middleton

For OSU - any of these: http://www.hotels-rates.com/hotels/locations/Columbus/OH/usa/1384/

I would skip the Varsity Inn. The Blackwell is on campus and is pretty nice (at the business school; you could walk everywhere).

I have stayed at the Hyatt Place the last few times I went to Columbus. It is a 5 - 10 min drive to campus.
I've also stayed at the Holiday Inn Express on Olentangy River Rd. It is close to campus also but I prefer Hyatt Place.
Any of the hotels on Olentangy River Rd will be close to campus.

I wouldn't stay in Middleton. If money is really an issue, the chains where the highways cross just east of the city will be cheaper than middleton and closer to the airport.

Blackwell's location can't be beat, but may be too expensive.

Holiday Inn on Lane Ave is a pretty good location too, and may be more moderately priced.

Maybe inquire if they have special rates for families visiting colleges. Ask the schools and the hotels.

Yes. You could walk from Lane Ave, too. Basically just one street over from campus.
