Popular Madison 4-star Hotels

We had a wonderful stay with great service and attention to detail. The reservation staff went above an beyond to make sure our needs were met. We loved the lake view and beautiful hotel amenities. I wish we would have known more about the available spa services earlier, so we could have taken advantage of them.

I recently came back to stay 3 nights at my favorite Doubletree in Downtown Madison after being away for 4 years. I was greeted by 2 lovely ladies at the front desk and when I arrived in my upgraded suite, there was the most thoughtful, handwritten card from Sophie, explaining that my husband indicated I was in town for a class at UW so she wished me well and included a study snack gift bag. Then, as if that wasn't wonderful enough, the next morning I was greeted by Liz Christianson, when I went down for breakfast. I instantly remembered Liz from my last visit back in 2018 when I was in town for a very different reason. My beloved mom was recovering from brain surgery after a Stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis in IL (we had switched her care from IL to UW). I was with my elderly father and Liz (& Meg, who worked there at the time) were so kind and so compassionate to us - I never forgot them. I was absolutely thrilled to see Liz and after I refreshed her memory, she completely remembered me and immediately asked about my father. It was literally like coming back home and visiting with a good friend. Doubletree Downtown Madison is like no other Doubletree in the US. It has the Midwestern values mixed with the awesome Madison vibe that is unlike anywhere else. Thank you for your kindness and thank you for being such a wonderful company that retains talented, special, fantastic people who make people like me excited to come back again and again.

We stayed here while visiting my daughter at UW for her birthday. There were 4 of us (myself, husband, 16 yr old and 3 yr old) and I booked the double queen poolside room. Best decision ever! The rooms are somewhat small, especially when you add a pack and play for a toddler. But with the pool lobby area it felt like an extension of our room. The hotel wasn’t crowded at all and we enjoyed using the pool and hanging out in that area. There was even a nice bathroom that comes in handy with 4 people (ended up being 5 because my daughter who said she would want to sleep back at her dorm decided to stay as well.) The room was very clean and updated and amenities seem well kept. The location can’t be beat. We walked to dinner and breakfast. My only complaint (more of a suggestion) would be a coffee station in the lobby. The restaurant on-site sells coffee but we ended up going next door. Overall, I highly recommend and on an “off” weekend in February, it’s very reasonable.

The Hilton Madison Monona Terrace hotel is located in the heart of downtown Madison overlooking Lake Monona.

The hotel is conveniently located in downtown Madison just blocks from the WI State Capitol Building and the University of Wisconsin Madison campus. Local favorite attractions such as the Henry Vilas Zoo, Overture Theater District, and State Street are just a few short blocks away.

My Stay at the AC was just fantastic! Great views from my room on the 7th floor great location and the service was amazing. Nat at the front desk was friendly and accommodating on check in. Matt the valet was also quick and efficient to pull up my car and was very helpful with my bags. Recommend the stay for sure!

The location of this hotel is great. Just in downtown. There are many restaurants within three to four minutes walking distance, and it is also very close to the lake. There are several supermarkets around, and the fresh market is only four or five minutes' walk away. It is 3-5 minutes walk from the bus station. The towels are white and the thick soft towels that Americans like to use, which is very comfortable. The sheets and pillowcases were white and clean. Lotion and shampoos are the same brand used in a five-star hotel in Shanghai. Breakfast and coffee on the lower floor. The bath water was super hot and comfortable. Of course, like other foreign hotels, toothbrushes, toothpaste and slippers are not provided. This is expected so I prepared it in advance. All the hotel staff were very friendly and would be happy to help. Booked on Ctrip. Very convenient. Next time I go to this hotel!

I recently stayed for a college bowling tournament. The hotel was full because of a Badger game but never seemed crowded. Staff I encountered were very nice but I can't imagine having to deal with the numerous customer complaints they must receive. Positives: Great rate with our group, easy check-in, beautiful lobby/hallways, clean room, large counter in the bathroom (one sink did not bother me), shower had great water pressure, convenient location to shopping and restaurants. Negatives: Air conditioning had been turned off, so only heat blowing into an already warm space (maintenance man very upset about it/opened our window for us so we could get some air), expensive breakfast buffet when compared with quality, buffet opened 25 minutes late (had to go to Starbucks), mattress was very hard, bathtub/shower seemed much smaller than usual, slow wi-fi even though I have member status, computer in the lobby uses Internet Explorer so none of my Google accounts would work (welcome to the year 2000), pool right in lobby which seemed very awkward. I would only stay here again if I had no other choice. I felt bad for my friends who had a room with a window only into the lobby--no natural light and no way to cool the room. Don't be fooled by the lobby--book a room somewhere else.

I recently attended a conference held at the Madison Concourse Hotel & Governor's Club and stayed three nights at the property. Shuttle bus driver Brian picked my co-worker and me up at the airport and was so kind and friendly! His recommendations for great food and sights in Madison were spot on and much appreciated. We received a warm welcome when we arrived and enjoyed a wonderful soup/salad bar/dessert lunch at CIRC. My room was clean and spacious. I loved the walk-in shower and makeup vanity space with chair in the bathroom, which was clean and stocked with plenty of towels. My favorite part of my stay was the comfortable bed and bedding, especially those wonderful pillows! I haven't slept that well in ages. The hotel is conveniently located to the Square with plenty of restaurants and entertainment within walking distance, making it a perfect conference site. I highly recommend the Madison Concourse Hotel & Governor's Club and hope to return soon with my family for vacation!
