The staff was super friendly and attentive My Room was beautiful and very clean Room service was quick , and delicious and it was a 90 second walk to the Orpheum theater that we were in town to see a show for

I also really appreciated that the room floors require a key for the elevator as they had a convention going on and lots of non overnight traffic in the hotel I couldn’t ask for more and will definitely stay again if I come into town

Let me start off by saying, this is a really nice hotel, in a really great location It was in walking distance to many great restaurants and being able to walk right out and be at the water/terrace was very peaceful My room was clean, but the bed was as hard as rocks

It felt like sleeping on a box frame I spent 4 nights here and needless to say my body was over it by check out I think adding new mattresses would be a great touch Especially since that’s the main reason people come back to the hotel is for a good nights restBut the staff were super nice and accommodating It’s really just the comfort piece that knocked off stars

Paul Skillman

Good reviews must be fake The only good things were location and the lobby is ok looking No housekeeping during stay

Complacent Front desk staff gave me false advice sending me way out of my way (just tell me you don’t know if you don’t know) No room service available Sub-grade beds and entire place needs an update Restaurant not open past 10pm and no convenient food options after hrs 20/day parking We paid a extra for this hotel and did not expect anything extraordinary But this lacking on a basic level I hope this is not the new norm as I’d expect more out of most budget roadside hotels

Zak

I stayed at this hotel for two nights for a friend’s wedding It wasn’t a bad experience, and it wasn’t a good experience, just okay It was extremely convenient that this hotel was connected to the wedding venue overlooking Lake Monona, but that was the main bright spot

The beds weren’t too comfortable, the towels were extremely rough and felt like they’ve been used for years, some of the staff did not really know what they were doing at the front desk, and the breakfast spot onside the hotel was a rip off; they charge $15 per person to eat at their buffet, but they were regularly out of food, coffee, and hot water for tea (I had to ask to get them refilled) The food was mediocre at best Do yourself a favor and spend $15 at a restaurant in downtown Madison where you’ll get your money’s worth

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

Lucas Ellis

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!!

K Meenan

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

The hotel room were spacious and dog friendly! The courtyard was beautiful and the meeting rooms were wonderful to do our rehearsal walk through This has been the best hotel I’ve stayed in Wisconsin 5 stars is not high enough Thank you! 😃

Jeff Ditzenberger

These folks filled in when another hotel royally screwed up and they got us in on a pretty short notice Meeting rooms were awesome and so were the hotel roomsCarter at the front desk made sure we had everything we needed

Abby Bartlett

This hotel is a nice choice on the square for anyone visiting Madison We had an excellent view from our window and being steps away from downtown restaurants and the farmer’s market was fantastic! The hotel offers free coffee, muffins and fruit in the morning before 9am, which I wasn’t aware of before my stay, but it’s great Also, the parking is only valet which costs $20/night

They are still using some COVID-specific rules at this hotel, such as not doing housekeeping in the room every day; this is actually my preference so I hope they keep doing it for the future Finally, they were amenable to splitting the room bill between me and my colleague evenly, which made our travel plans easier Overall, I was really happy with this great spot!

Nick Chill

Our Best Western Premier Park stay was great The overall hotel had a very professional feel and welcoming service The valet was very helpful and friendly

Our room was nice, but not huge We also had a small view of brick building walls The shower, on the other hand, was incredible The location was key, as we were across the street from the amazing capitol building We also enjoyed the hotel restaurant, The Post, and loved sitting next to the windows with a view of the capitol

J R

Mixed bag Hotel itself is beautiful, lots of history and the poolside room we had was very nice Minus stars because the pictures of the rooms show nice walk in showers which is not the case

A big deal for those with mobility issues The restaurant is good for breakfast(not included), but skip dinner here, overpriced, mediocre offerings Plenty of nice places within walking distance

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

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

Wow for the price this place was amazing There was some miscommunication upon check in since we paid through the Hilton website but even with that we were still checked in in under 10 min I get the feeling they get a lot of a holes cause they were super apologetic about the situation

The pool alone makes this place so worth it if you have kids They even provide some pool toys (balls, noodles, squirrels) We didn’t try the free breakfast but pretty cool they offered that and we saw tons of people taking advantage in the mornings so it must’ve been good Our room and bed were nice and comfortable It wasn’t downtown but everything we did was within like 15 min drive Will definitely stay here on our next trip!

alyson propes

The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is because the water in the shower was dangerously hot and cold I don’t mean just annoying It took over 5 minutes of letting the water run for it to warm up, and then it went from a good temp, to painfully ice cold, and then the only way to get it off ice cold was to turn high enough that it was dangerously hot – so hot you would honestly get burned, and then turn it way back down again

It was stressful to shower and also shower my kidsAside from that, the pool was great, the breakfast was great, the staff were all friendly, the room was clean, and the price was good

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!

Last summer we spent a week at the Mendota Lake House with family and friends, to celebrate our son’s marriage The house was comfortable, and the gardens were stunning We loved watching the sunset over the lake, and spending time together in the common areas of the house

The rooms were comfortable and nicely decorated The location was perfect, and David and Bob were exceptional hosts Our guests all had a great “first visit” to Madison, and we made many happy memories

kristin celiceo

Stunning historic home on Lake Mendota Beautiful views from back side of home Building features original craftsmanship throughout as well as necessary updates

My room included a jacuzzi tub to relax in, as well as a private balcony with lake views Welcomed with light music to set the tone, as well as friendly, inviting host One star dock simply for the breakfast – I was hoping for a more communal gathering in the home as opposed to the light continental style breakfast

Kelly Jo Brandt

We stayed at the Mendota Lake House in mid-February and loved it The view with the large Bay windows on the first floor and to die for They have tons of seating so you can curl up and gaze out the window at the beautiful view in your own area

Rims we nice Ruth, the housekeeper/host, was extremely hospitable and great dinner great suggestions of things to do nearby It is an old house so expect some creaky floors and old heaters starting up Otherwise, the rooms were well insulated from the sound of others and the house was generally quiet (as most people we out and about)Highly recommend

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

I liked the parking space that is a little more private behind the building, with access through an arch way Walking distance to restaurants and small shops in the area The hotel is pet friendly we had our little furry buddy with us It was very quite not a lot of guests Very friendly staff Can only recommend the place

Amy Carey

Outdated and UNFRIENDLY – there are better places to stay in MadisonDo yourself a favor and look elsewhere for decent hotel accommodations in the Madison area The customer service at this hotel is the absolute worst I’ve experienced at any hotel or resort stay The staff seemed like they did not care at all about the guests, the experience, or the hotel

My request for an early arrival was never noted when I called weeks ahead due to my flight arriving earlier than anticipated check-in The agent acted like I was an inconvenience when I arrived early to check-in even though I had called weeks prior Upon check-in, I gave my personal credit card for incidentals and noted that the corporate card on file should be utilizing for room/tax/fees, etc In addition, as someone who has a severe feather/down allergy, I always call prior to my stay to ensure that my room only has hypoallergenic/polyester pillows upon my arrival I did this when I called about the early arrival weeks earlier but apparently this was also not noted I had to open up every single pillow case and cover to find the feather pillows and ensure that they were put to the side Luckily, there were enough polyester pillows to use during my stay Unluckily enough, my hands and face itched the entire evening In addition, daily housekeeping service is not the standard at this hotel and you have to call daily to request Even if you do request, like I did on Sunday evening along with pillow replacements, you do not receive housekeeping service When I called about this miss, I was met with no apology, no solution, and no emotion – just an OK and then a hang up on the phone In addition, when I mentioned the pillows for a 3rd time, an employee entered my room while my DND sign was on the door and delivered one pillow and extra pillowcases My room was in desperate need of a deep clean and my toilet actually came up off the floor and the bathroom tiles were cracked When utilizing the pool on two occasions, I noticed that children of employees were also utilizing the pool as well Once was a young boy who spent about an hour in the hot tuband since I was the only other adult in the pool area with him, I did not feel comfortable utilizing the hot tub myself and kept my distance in the space Upon check-out, my personal credit card was charged for everything when I had previously noted that the corporate card on file should be charged This took almost two days to correct from calling the hotel, then the manager, and then my bank

alex bonick

GREAT VALUE! Plenty of dining, shopping, trails nearby Super clean Great staff

HOWEVER it seems the locals book rooms here just to use the pool & spa and then invite their friends pool parties past midnight, SUPER LOUD, cursing, drinking – staff seemed unaware until I phoned them I could not sleep due to the rowdy shenanigans! I’m not a complainer – but I have never seen this level of rowdy before!

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

Good location right next to Alliant Energy Center Room was clean and nice Comfortable beds!! Very functional kitchen with full fridge, two burner hot plate, small dishwasher

The hot breakfast was exceptional Fresh scrambled eggs, homemade hash browned potatoes and two types of sausage Also waffle maker, toast and cereal and good hot coffee Microwave available if needed I would come back just for the hot breakfast!

We were in town for 3 nights for a convention at the Alliant Center The hallway that connects the hotel to the center was very handy Breakfast was scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, waffles, muffins, cereal & etc

They had a pool & exercise room but I didn’t have time to check those outOur room was clean & in good repair Staff was helpful

Isaac Liu

This is a fair hotel for the price- I stayed here to make sure I was within a reimbursement limit The rooms are extremely drab and old but the appliances and amenities are functional- though the shower annoyingly shot a straight jet of water There were no glass, only plastic cups

I hope that they eventually remodel The service for breakfast and the front desk were very good, but my room didn’t seem to be cleaned (towels and bed not changed) for the two nights/three days I was there

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

Randall Grady

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!

Joanne Genevka

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!

Stayed one night during a road trip We’ve stayed at Tru hotels in the past and were satisfied Selected due to familiarity, cost, and availability of EV charging in the parking lot

Decent convenience of location near the highway and nearby restaurants Basic breakfast is provided, which is appreciatedThe lobby is bright and fun, including games such a billiards and shuffle puck Feels like a fun place

Timothy Tranchilla

Loved this concept Found the breakfast to be much more suitable to a 2022 palate (oats, yogurt, fruit, granola) Gym was compact but had more equipment than I’ve seen in a medium sized hotel

The rooms were nicely organized Loved that there was no carpet, but did not love that the A/C unit would not turn off, even when the thermostat was off, just blowing room temp air causing condensation and our floor to be damp We cleaned up the dampness with towels and they were stained almost black! (Floors need to be mopped regularly, especially during COVID) Found the front desk staff to be friendly and filled with helpful suggestions

Amanda Sparrow

We ended up at the Tru when our Airbnb didn’t work out It was reasonably priced, about the same as other hotels nearby But it is a lot nicer because, ya know, it’s Hilton

Justin was extremely helpful in getting us a room and accommodating our pets That’s one thing I really like was how many dogs were staying at the hotel and the staff didn’t seem to view them as an inconvenience Everything was aesthetic and clean No carpet in the rooms !! Yes please Would come back and definitely recommend The pleasant experience really did begin with Justin, he understands guest perception he was interactive and competent and you can really tell he knows the ins and outs of his job Everything that followed was just as good as our first few moments in the hotel

We got stormed out of our camp site in the area and called to see if there was vacancy, Nick was very nice and helped accommodate us at 3 am during a busy weekend The next morning Mackenzie was so sweet and helped get us arranged for another night due to the storms The hotel ran very efficiently with spacious and cozy rooms

The location is an easy fifteen minute drive to Madison capitol where there is so much to do We didn’t mean to end up here but now we would come back and stay at this hotel because it was so awesome!!

Michelle Neyer

Literally the best customer service! I’m in the military and had a change in my schedule I had no toiletry with me McKenzie offered me EVERY available toiletry available

Her kindness was amazing!Plus the rooms very clean, and look like mini apartments! Highly recommend!!!!

Teddi Melara

My three boys were excited to go swimming and the pool was ice cold hot tub was Brown We would have been better off swimming in that litle lake that’s right next to the hotel Talk to the front desk their excuse was maintenance is off on Sundays and since it’s 5:00 they can’t do anything but check in is at 4:00

Stay away from this hotel if you’re coming with a family that wants to enjoy their time together
