"We sold out (Saturday), which is incredible," Patrick Downs, of the lake-front Edgewater Hotel, told the paper on Sunday.
Rooms at the Edgewater start at $109, according to the Edgewater's website.
The Hotel Ruby Marie - a Victorian bed-and-breakfast inn within walking distance of Capitol Square - was sold out over the weekend and even had to turn away some protesters seeking rooms. The hotel's rates start at $92, the inn's website says.
"I wish we could have had another duplicate hotel because we would have sold that out, too," Cody Neuburg, the inn's weekend manager, told the paper.
Expect hotels to sell out again tonight. There no rooms left, for example, at this inn: The upscale, independent Madison Concourse Hotel.
