The front desk associate, Indra was very kind when we checked in an when we checked out She provided as much information regarding our stay a possible She was very attentive

Other front desk associates during our stay were not as attentive, they could be found outside having a cigarette or in staff Ron sitting reading or on phone or not at all We had to search for someone in order to get toilet tissue for our room as the amount on the two rolls was pretty much out The windows on right was stuck in open position add the crank seemed stripped and would not close window The sink in bathroom was extremely slow to drain I did inform front desk of these issues and did leave a note in room at check outOverall the room was nice and comfortable Selection of pillows which was very nice The room smelled fresh when we checked in which was very nice Many of neighboring rooms had pets which you could not tell as the rooms are very quiet Will return Thank you MsIndra for your kindness and professionalism

Ashley Booker

It is the staff here that makes my stay an excellent one A lot of my interaction has been with Indra who goes above, and beyond to make you feel welcomed, and comfortable; and does it all with a smile Everyone who works here is very nice

Cynthia always greets me with a smile, a wave; and often has fresh towels waiting before I even before ask for them Travis always says hello, and tells me to have a good day The housekeepers are friendly, and courteous They have a nice hot breakfast every morning The pool, and hot tub are a very nice size! In addition, they have a shuttle service for guests It is also in a nice location Thank you to all the staff for all you do!

Jen Belisle

Was charged $100 for a “cleaning fee” without consent or follow up It took three months of calling to contact manager, and he told me “you’re not getting your money back, and don’t tell me how to run my business” We are a quiet family of 5 and the room was fine

It’s his word against mine Wouldn’t stay there again for not only the fee but for the way I was treated

Overall I really enjoyed my stay I was in Madison for business This location was close to where I needed to be

The price point here is amazing The staff was extremely friendly upon checking in and checking out There is free breakfast in the mornings as well The mall is close if that is your thing I consider it to be within walking distance Not too much night life around here though I will more than likely book here again on my next stopThis Radisson has strayed me away from my Go-To (Mariott)A smart key would be nice (use my watch or phone as the room key Marriott and Hilton have this feature) I could not figure out how to navigate their mobile app

Lin An

Rooms are a bit outdated and cramped feeling but was clean Bed was comfortable Hallway noise was extremely loud

Worst part was the pool There were multiple bugs in the pool area and in the pool itself Ants, millipede and some kind of beetle Clumps of hair and ants in hot tub and jets did not work either So incredibly gross We tried to leave a couple hours after checking in but couldn’t find another hotel with availability that night Was able to cancel the rest of our reservation and stayed elsewhere The lady at the front desk was very kind and understanding

Q

Arrived at the hotel and my first experience was the above exceptional customer service The lady at the front desk was very helpful and professional The hotel has a restaurant, a pool, and a jacuzzi, which are all accomodations that I like to look for in a stay

The hotel was very clean, and smelled good My room was also very clean The breakfast was simple but had everything I was looking for, eggs, and sausage I was greeted when entering the breakfast area by a friendly hotel worker The prices are way below the other hotels in the area 10/10

First off price and location were reasonable The staff was very friendly, even housekeeping was nice The room was clean, everything straightened up

No hand soap in the bathroom though?!?Our sheets were clean, the bed was comfortable AF That hallway smelled like fresh clean laundry and cleaning solutions The pool was greatness, nice and warm, hot tub was good, kids really like their kiddie pool area too The courtyard is well taken care of and really chill for a night cap with a snack from the bar and a drink!

Sara Talbot

Wonderful place to stay if you have kids! The pool/water area is so great, especially for little kids, there is a beautiful & tranquil outdoor seating area I saw several people out there reading & enjoying the beautiful weather There is not a free breakfast, but if you pay more for your room it is included

The prices were very reasonable for the amenities It even has a trolley into town, and parking was easy There are nearby stores if you need things & a darling park with a splash pad within a 10 minute drive The hotel was very clean & the staff was friendly & polite

Dan Schultz

My wife stays at Courtyards by Marriott often for work and enjoys them This was a one night stay passing through town Super clean, modern room overlooking the courtyard which was beautiful

Great spaces on the main floor for eating, lounging, and for business travelers Not the nicest place I’ve stayed but for the price I thought it was a bargain Nice presentation Marriott!

Tom greeted us when we registered at the motel He was so cheerful and pleasant! They are so lucky to have him represent them at the front desk!The rooms are very clean, quiet, comfortable, well maintained and safeBreakfast was eggs, sausage, juice, coffee, waffles, toast, muffins, yogurt, and cereal

They charge $2 for a safe fee and LaDene was unable to remove and said she would have her manager removeThe back door lock was taped so it doesn’t close properly I didn’t like that it was not able to lock the doorI wish we were staying more than one night!

Tempestt Ballenger

Stayed here over Memorial Day weekend and I gotta say I was thoroughly pleased I was greeted right away by the staff at the hotel and my check in was prompt and efficient There were quite a few people staying there but it was quiet the entire time we were there

The lobby was clean and vibrant as was our room I would also like to comment that their Continental breakfast was actually a breakfast with various options Most places these days just offer you coffee and granola bars and that’s it And breakfast was great! One more important thing to note was the location It is a hidden treasure because there are so many options of places to dine at in Monona like Toby’s, Buck and Honey’s, etc And it’s right off the expressway For the price I paid for this place and everything that came with it I was very pleased I come into Madison a lot for business and will definitely use this place whenever it is available!

Kelly Schuett

Convenient 2pm check in and friendly staff upon arrival Rooms are a bit small, you have to finagle the bathroom door because it hits the entry door Rooms were very clean

  Pool area was ok, kids didn’t seem to mind We had a large group that reserved the meeting room for the weekend, which was very nice! Breakfast that is included was also nice – had a few shortages the second morning, but that is due to deliveries, and out of their control Would stay here again

Kyle Wilson

Beautifully remodeled modern style hotel Great service from the staff The room we had was without any windows though

Instead it had a door to the inside pool area While some might find that a preferred convenience, If we did it again, all 5 of us would prefer a window room instead next time Other than that the stay was good The pool here is geared towards small kids only

Joyce Marx

The staff is incredibly nice I didn’t get her name, but the girl who checked me in was very sweet and helpful Thank you for a wonderful stay! I’ll definitely stay here again next time I’m in Madison

When we went in to the pool, it was closing in 30 minutes No one has been using the waterside so it had been turned off The lifeguard working turned it back on so my nephew could use it Even though she was closing in 30 minutes she never made us feel rushed and we enjoyed our time in the water park This was the evening of Tuesday March 2 Thank you!

Michele Ashbeck

There were some positive things about our stay, but I feel like the bad outweighed the good Starting with the good; the rooms were very clean and the pool area is great, with wonderful lifeguards Now the bad

When we booked the room we booked a 1st floor poolside room, when we checked in our room was on the second floor Checkout is at 11am, which is fine, but the pool doesn’t open until 9am, and when we were here they didn’t open it until 10 minutes after 9 They also didn’t open the water slide in the morning There isn’t a free continental breakfast, you have to pay $5 per adult and $3 per child Having to pay for breakfast we assumed everything was included, but only milk, water or coffee was included for drinks, no fruit juice We also thought we would get refills on our drinks, especially since we had to pay, but no one came around for refills Overall it seemed like this hotel likes to nickle-and-dime their guests while having subpar service and limited pool time

Everything is new and works and is comfortable I’m sure that by 2030 this inn will be as tired and in need of a refresh as the Comfort Inn across the interchange, but for now it’s really nice The layout of the breakfast is really smart

They spread things out a bit, so you won’t be standing around impatiently waiting for somebody to finish The people working there were really not into that whole customer service thing, but even that did little to spoil my appreciation of the hotel

Joan Baumgartner

Stayed there two nights Our suite was quiet, clean, and updated Staff at check-in were very helpful as was the rest of the staff I spoke with during our stay

I would have appreciated a hand held shower head which is available in the handicapped accessible rooms only There is a pool but did not use so cannot comment Breakfast was basic but enough to satisfy (waffles, boiled eggs, two types of breakfast sandwiches, cereal, bagels, muffins, coffee, tea and juice) Was to be able to bring a family pet The fee $10/pet/night The only additional item to make accommodation really stand out would be a dc Charging station on-site for electric powered vehicles There is a charging station within a block but was glitchy and in the end not working For other EV users there is an alternate about 10 minutes north and east by electrify America adjacent to a Walmart Will stay again

We stayed here with our soccer club which means lots of kids and lots of noise Every member of the staff was super friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience pleasant We had 2 separate issues (our remote and our AC/heater) both were taken care of in a timely manner and the staff was happy to help

The gentleman working the continental breakfast was super friendly and helpful Would absolutely recommend They also made checkout/checkin easy for such a large group

Daryl Diddle

We are quite picky regarding cleanliness, and the place was clean – room, lobby, pool area (which was more like a small, indoor water park – our teens loved it,) etc Not fancy, but neat and clean The bed was one of the most comfortable we’d ever slept on – which is a high compliment coming from my wife, who has some back issues

The woman who took our reservation in the afternoon was super helpful and kind For the price it was a no-brainerThe only reason this was not a 5 star (I’d give it a 45 if I could) was the breakfast – the waffles tasted like chemicals and there was no milk for the cereal We asked for milk, but it didn’t seem like anyone was really interested in going to the store and grabbing some I suppose good help really is hard to findWe’d certainly stay there again

Right when we checked in there was a “social hour” with food, wine and beer (spotted cow even!) Are you kidding me?! I didn’t check out the outside mezzanine area but I think there is a pool and gazebo out there? The inside pool looked amazing and I wished I would’ve brought my suit Other than the bed being ok and the original room not being cleaned (it was not on the cleaning schedule and they moved us to a new room immediately), this is one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at and in a great location on the East side

Compliments to management and staff for making our stay excellent and we’ll see you next visit!

Scott Sned

Nice property with updated and comfortable rooms Breakfast was good with hot food options and waffles There was only one lady helping with breakfast (understaffed), but she was super friendly, kind, and helpful, working hard to help everybody

Two issues with this property:1-“Airport shuttle” feature is misleading Though the website has a “shuttle” icon and shows 7A-7P airport shuttle hours, it’s only Mon-Fri and must be requested 24 hours in advance So our “airport hotel” stay has cost us an extra $60 to/from airport and would have been better to rent a car2-Breakfast hours only through 900A Seemed like a mad rush at 855A Maybe extend out to 930A or 1000A

Carolyn Schmidt

Very comfortable room The bed was not too soft but had a comfy soft topperThe kitchen is well equipped and everything works as it should

Evening supper on Wednesday was nice Breakfast to go worked great for our needsOur dog was very happy in the room and on a walkWe were here only overnight but would be very comfortable for a longer timeI definitely will look for Staybridge suites again

We were kept up all night long by the next door neighbors After the sheriff came at 4:30 AM, they continued talking loudly and laughing, and banging the door The walls were thin

Apparently they don’t need sleep But we did We have a long drive ahead of us and we’re exhaustedWe called the front desk three times asking for assistance, and he said he’d ask them to be quiet, but nothing ever happened The 3rd time we called, no one answered the phoneNever Holiday Inn Again NeverOur room smelled like old cigarette smoke The lobby and common area is stale We can ignore that, but not the restThere was a loud party in the parking lot, by where we had to park, when we arrived, so we were very concerned leaving our truck and bike unattended Thankfully, nothing happenedThe desk employee was very patient, kind, and was swamped with work, as it was a full house However, he was unable to do anything, so we wonder if management allows him to or notPay extra and drive to the Dells to stay somewhere else!

Chris S

Don’t go to the Holiday Express Deforest WI if you want a hot breakfast!!!!Deforest was midway between our vacation destination Specifically chose Holiday Express because it offered a free hot breakfast Other hotels in the area were less expensive

Bottom line: No hot breakfast after 30 minutes even though we arrived by 7a Our group of 6 in 3 rooms decided to get breakfast on the road Hotel offered $10 off per room Really? It cost us $60 and wasted time getting to our final destinationFind another hotel that offers breakfast Avoid Holiday Express Deforest WIChris SPS Manager keeps responding that there were other items available A few muffins, toast, We had our own breakfast bars We wanted a hot breakfast These items are NOT a suitable replacement for eggs, bacon, sausage etc

I did not have a good experience with this hotel I booked a room that included breakfast, but they did not honor it (and breakfast is $15 per person) The front desk was not helpful with it either and essentially told us too bad

I would not have booked this hotel if I had known this One of the elevators smelled heavily of vomit, so we tried to use the stairs as much as possible (for our 4th floor room) Also on the morning we were checking out, housekeeping entered our room at 8am after knocking quietly twice I understand wanting to get rooms cleaned quickly, but it’s 8! People are either sleeping or getting readyit’s inappropriate to enter rooms that early

The manager was very friendly and helpful The room was super clean and comfortable The pool and hot tub are awesome

Breakfast was good Our room was nice and quiet The manager recommended an excellent restaurant just down the road, “Toby’s SupperClub” We ate there two nights, it was amazing The hotel was a little off the beaten path, but still close to everything We would definitely stay at this hotel again, and highly recommend it!

The road to it is a bit bumpyThe staff were friendly Kathy at the front desk was exceptional!People complaining about no bathtubs? I would never take a bath in a hotel! 🤮 No cash for payment? I don’t know of a hotel that will take it without a credit card for incidentals

I found the room to be very quietThe owner was on site a lot and friendly as wellIf convenient to where I wanted to be I would definitely stay here again

Kevin Petges

My family and I stayed 1 night for a wedding The hotel allowed us to check in early by 2 hours I called previously that morning and asked if they had baby beds and they informed me that they have pack and plays

I told them I would like to reserve one for our stay and they said they would put it down for our stay When we arrived I let them know about the pack and play and they said they were out and they don’t do reservations on pack and plays Luckily, they had one left that was slightly broken but it worked The room overall was just fine and the beds were comfortable The pool area is great and 8ncludes some water features like basketball hoops and waterfall features, the kids loved itThe one downside is that I called the front desk to reserve a late checkout at noon because our 1 year old was still napping They said that would be fine A few minutes after 11 am, the housekeeping staff knocked once and then keyed into the room and turned on the light, thus ending nap time for our son They also seemed to have turned the room key off at our original checkout time

Lindsay Williams

We were really looking forward to our stay at the Edgewater Hotel, but sadly, we were very disappointed by our stay Even though our multiple visits to their restaurants and bars have always been disappointing (there’s just not many on-the-water options in Madison, which is why we always return to their gorgeous location) due to poor/slow service and extremely high prices for sub-par food and service, we had high hopes for the hotel stay While the hotel is gorgeous, it’s the lack of customer service and attention to detail that disappointed us

We had our Do Not Disturb sign on our door as we were in desperate need of sleeping in At 8AM on a Sunday, a cleaning staff person knocked and walked into our room – even though we had Do Not Disturb sign on the door The front desk was unsympathetic about it Our room service breakfast was terrible for a “luxury” hotel The coffee was so weak it was undrinkable The bagel and packaged cream cheese were fine, but the fruit salad was defrosted frozen fruit The creamer was individual shelf-stable creamers, not real cream in a creamer service Just so disappointing for a $30 breakfast, that should have been free since we were woken up unnecessarily The rooms were nicely appointed, but the bathroom is poorly lit making it difficult to get ready/do make-up, etc There isn’t anywhere to hang towels, either This might seem very nit-picky, but for a $300/night room in Madison, Wisconsin, one would hope to have a more luxurious experience

Collette McDonald

We had a girls spa day The location is gorgeous Some of the treatment rooms overlook the water

Beautifully appointed The only rub for this spa is the lack of silence from the staff when near the relaxation area and treatment rooms Our first impression was the manager taking a cell call as we were getting a tour and the use of outside voices vs spa level communication It would also be a nice feature if spa guest could reserve a table at the boathouse vs having to go to the restaurant to ensure names are on the list Little things that add up

Mary Ashworth

Madison was a new experience for us What a nice city It feels so much safer than Chicago! We actually walked around at night without feeling the need to look over our shoulders

We were at the Edgewater for a business meeting It is a great hotel with a beautiful view The rooms are large, clean and comfortableWe had a nice cocktail reception on the varanda with dinner to follow The bartender was so sweet and the waitstaff was very accommodatingI will say that the lighting in the lovely bathroom is not bright enough to apply makeup Most hotel bathroom are that way these daysKeep up the great work Edgewater!

I arrived late at night, the front desk lady was awake, and was so nice We had the best conversation while i was checking in The decor in the hotel was beautiful, the lobby, elevator, and the hallways were extremely clean for being late at night

Our room was clean, the bed was so comfortable We overslept and unlike a lot of the upscale places we have stayed they were so accommodating by offering us a later check out instead of rushing us to get out of the room Breakfast was good as well The pool and hot tub was amazing Can’t say enough great things about out experience Will definitely stay here again on our next trip

Very clean place The staff was courteous and professional The pool and hot tub area was clean

We arrived fairly late in the evening and there were only a few towels left poolside I requested a couple extra and planned on taking them back with me The gentleman working the front desk a Asked me to go enjoy the pool and that he would bring them to us right away It wasn’t more than a couple minutes and he had them delivered I would definitely stay there again!

I picked this hotel for a single night in Madison for my husband and myself Check in was easy and the people working the desk were friendly!However when we went up to our room someone was already in there So we went back down to get a different room

It wasn’t that big of a deal to us, but they(manager and clerk) were apologetic and quickly gave us a different room on the same floor, so we went back upstairs to that room, but that room had been used and hadn’t been cleaned, so we trekked back down the elevator to the front desk and told them about the latest room The manager ended up putting us in the biggest room they had(2 king size beds) and also gave us a discount on the room we had originally requested The new room was clean and well litThe beds were very comfortable, and the hot tub and pool were relaxing and clean!Thanks for a great stay!

From the silent traveler as I’ve always stated no hotel will be 100% perfect what will determine a good hotel is a representative of that hotel when matters come before them This hotel is really good it has a wonderful pool that you can see it also has a sauna which is really nice

There is a lot offered in this hotel more than other hotels But again really nice to relax and enjoy your stay in the area Very close to restaurants in walking distance so you don’t have to go far You could order but again very close and walking distance The room really nice as usual great bed to sleep in you will definitely get a good night rest Internet connection also really good This is my second time staying in there and I must say it gets better each time customer service was really great The gym very nice to work out in and the one thing that I found at the hotel this time that wasn’t there last time it’s mouthwash which is really nice I updated the photos so you can see that they do have mouthwash as well And I didn’t get my cookie apparently something was wrong with the oven

Very clean and felt safe inside We initially parked on the side of the hotel which we didn’t feel really comfortable with the foot traffic on the side so we parked in front of the hotel which was a lot better Very quiet on our floor

The snacks downstairs were a bit overpriced & no complimentary breakfast for the amount of money you pay for a room They do have an on-site resteraunt but we didn’t use it We had to call down twice each time we needed housekeeping to bring something Bed left our backs hurting but the room was clean Fresh cookie was a good touch when you check in We did not use the pool but it looked really nice

I was in town for a family wedding This is by far the cleanest and nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed in The hotel staff provided red carpet white glove service

Highly recommend spending the night here for a few days Perfect opportunity for a family gathering or friends to hang out in a bar area and catch up Very comfortable and relaxing

I really enjoy Holiday Inn Express hotels This one had nice staff as I have always experienced The room was a little humid which was strange

The one thing missing for me was the pancake machine! I didn’t know there were locations without one I always have the pancakes with honey, banana and peanut butter for breakfast They had some in the buffet type pan but they weren’t as fresh as the ones from the machine Still a good experience overall Trip was for business

My wife and I have just stayed 2 nights here Wonderful service, and excellent by Holiday Inn Express standards Very comfortable room + facilities

Their free hotel shuttle service was very helpful Would particularly commend Garry, Dominique + Joe on the shuttle Also Christopher + Antoyne on the front desk Very welcoming attitude, and all wonderfully proactive We’ll be back in Madison, as this short trip was a teaser Much more to see

I stayed for two nights and thought it was great Check in was a breeze I was informed that due to covid, there isn’t daily housekeeping, but I can let them know if I need anything (I didn’t)

The room was clean, everything worked as it should It was quiet I knew there were quite a few guests there, some with dogs, but I never even heard anyone unless they were coming out of their room into the hallway The continental breakfast was your typical hotel continental breakfast: you either take it or just go somewhere else It’s free, so gourmet food shouldn’t be expected I have to go back to Madison next month, and this is where I’ll be staying

Move out of the apartment today with a reservation at this dump made a week in advanced Call today for a possible early check in and the GM said the room won’t be available until 7pm when the check in is 3pm We said we can NOT do 7 and the original 3pm time is fine

The manager said we “copped an attitude,” and decided to cancel our reservation No notice of the room change He cancelled the reservation and stated “do not come here” and hung up the phone Anytime we called back the call would be ignored This is a CUSTOMER SERVICE JOB and this is NOT how you problem solve with your customers Absolute WORST handling of an issue I’ve ever experienced I’ve had customers throw FOOD in my face and STILL have to give discounts to these people because of STANDARDS OF SERVICE Needless to say, a complaint has been filed with the district and the regional manager and I pray y’all have a better experience than we did Good luck if y’all try and stay here!!

Pet friendly is a plus The rooms are relatively clean but old and in need of some upgrades The breakfast is basic grab-and-go (see photo) and the coffee is gross

The one thing that I absolutely could not deal with is the bathtub/shower, as the one in our room was bowed in (see photo) so you can’t stand flat – it feels like you are about to fall through the floor Not goodNote: the hotel is currently renovating some of their rooms, so hopefully that includes their bathrooms and carpet

We didn’t stay overnight but we did rent out the conference room for a bridal shower and things went very smoothly Kishan was great to work with and helped us find things that we needed that we had forgotten for set -up and also helped us exchange out tables as we needed The room was perfect size for the group we had (around 35 people)

Finding the room was easy for our gets and the hotel lobby seemed really clean
