- Platteville, Wisconsin, has been an incorporated town since the 1820s and provided value for its proximity to the lead deposits found in nearby Galena. On the border of Illinois, Platteville earned a bit of fame during the 80s and 90s for being the home of training camp for the Chicago Bears. However, since the Bears moved their camp in 2001, the town is now best known for being the home of the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. Many business travelers also stop for meetings in downtown Platteville, meaning there are plenty of places for them to stay.
- The Governor Dodge Hotel is mostly for business travelers who are in town to spend time at the nearby convention center, which is attached to the hotel. Rooms generally are reasonably priced and the room amenities are basic -- cable TV, continental breakfast -- but this is a perfect little spot for business travelers looking for a brief respite from their long meetings.
