Absolute gem! My girlfriend and I had an amazing stay Great staff, good rates, comfortable EVERYTHING Waking up we both remarked how well we slept

The breakfast was to die for The architecture in the first place is incredible The natural light from the skylights made it so we only had to turn the lights off for the night and then when we turned off the lights for the night we had beautiful moonlight! I very much recommend The Mansion Hill Inn!

Hosted a wedding here for a client, and it went amazing! The venue is absolutely gorgeous – every room has it’s own very unique charm It’s an old building, but they have done a fantastic job upgrading to modern amenities John and his staff are top notch as well – they work seamlessly to provide amazing service

I can’t wait to host another event at this amazing venue!

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

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

The room was immaculate! I was surprised at how large the room was with the thick privacy curtain between the bed and the couch pull-out – complete with a mini kitchen with a fridge, sink, dishwasher, and microwave For the business traveler, there was a multi-layered desk to use, and the TV was largeThere is a restaurant within walking distance and other shopping if you need to pick up something quick

The breakfast was amazing and I was happy to see fresh oatmeal, the small omlettes, a good selection of yogurt, and other items Elisa was so very helpful at breakfast, friendly, and very interested whether we were enjoying ourselves and had everything we needed I would DEFINITELY stay here again without hesitation

I don’t like the city so that’s why I gave it a 4 star on location, but that’s not against the hotel really I didn’t stay here, I visited my grandpa and I’ve got to say it was stunning The lobby was very clean and the lady that work at the registers/computers was really nice and had a nice welcoming feeling when she greeted me

I don’t know her name but this place is awesome and I love that it was by a starbucks!

Erin Maines

My mom and I stayed here while I was transitioning to the area for work and waiting for my rental I had my cat and he really enjoyed being on top of the cabinets in the rooms! 😆 The rooms were clean, with everything needed for a long-term stay and options to get an induction burner, etc if desired Breakfast options were reasonable and made waking up early a bit easier

I never had an issue finding a parking spotThe shared spaces were constantly cared for and lots of places to sit, charge your devices, and work A nice little kiosk was set up with a printer/scanner which I made use of a few times as I only had a laptop with me The Wi-Fi was more than sufficient for all my needs I didn’t avail myself of the pool or gym as the Cross-Fit games were going on at the same time and were in use often, but I saw them being sanitized frequently In addition, the laundry facilities were very convenientAll the folks at the front desk and the folks providing housekeeping services were friendly, approachable, and willing to assist in any way possible The location right off the Beltline makes it quick to get anywhere you need to go, with the caveat of rush hour traffic being factored in If you’re looking for a great pet-friendly place for a long-term stay, you won’t be disappointed with Home2 I will definitely be recommending to visitors

Great place to stay Amazing staff, front desk manager and supervisor are caring and engaged They go out of their way to make your stay comfortable

The food at the rooftop restaurant is great for a team outing The drinks are top notch If you have an issue ask for Shawn or Meltia I see them both as general manager material Note: just don’t get a room under the gym

Joelle Fiedorowicz

I had a king room with Lakeview and the room I stayed in lived up to that for the most part I had a view of the lake but mainly the tops of buildings as I was on the 7th floor It was very clean, bed was comfortable and the room was nice and quiet other than the slamming doors of the other rooms

Valet parking was a nice addition and affordable Didn’t eat at the hotel but the restaurant on the top floor had amazing views and the food smelled really good Great location and within walking distance of a lot of shops, restaurants, and activities Will stay again

Shaelyn Rounds

Unfortunately I’m giving 1 star instead of 4 The only reason being is I do not feel the elevators at this hotel were safe Which is the most important factor imo

My friends and I rode down to our floor (3) from the restaurant (9) and the elevator quite literally dropped us, and then malfunctioned back and forth to floor 5 and 4 a few times before opening and letting us out We were all so traumatized, I called the front desk, and immediately the employee asked if it was elevator number 3 as if it’s happened before (It was actually elevator number 1 this time)Safe to say we took the stairs Beware of the elevators for your safety!

I made the reservation online I was in town for business I stayed for two nights

The front desk (Bruce) was very polite and helpful checking me in Room was clean and different (in a good way) from your more traditional hotel rooms Liked the layout and color Room did have a small mini fridge, iron and ironing board – I had to take one star away for the breakfast The first morning I tried one of the breakfast sandwiches Ham, egg, and cheese It was very dry and tasteless I don’t like to waist food but I didn’t finish it The second morning was a little better but still wish it could have been a little bit more I will stay here again, just know in advance that I will be getting breakfast elsewhere – Had a couple of restaurants within walking distance in the evening

Kathleen Bates

This hotel is wonderful! So modern, new, clean, practical, quiet and comfortable This is the most modern hotel we’ve stayed at on our cross country road trip We are staying at IHGs

Sara Mae KB

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

Heiner Schwutke

Epic booked this hotel for us as a ” check out my new hometown” for my daughter who will be working in Verona ( Epic also paid for the flight)The hotel is great for checking out Madison, in the centerThe room was nice and clean

The place was so clean! Looked a little outdated, but I cared more about the cleainess The pool was really nice and warm Typical quick hotel breakfast was good

The staff was very friendly Unfortunately it was difficult to relax in the pool because a bunch of kids were screaming and jumping into the hot tub It would be nice to see an adult only hour the last hour of the day that it is open Otherwise great experience!

Natalie Fisher

I was nervous booking this hotel since Quality Inns don’t usually have a good reputation but thanks to the google reviews being good I went ahead and booked it I will definitely book this hotel again! The people were friendly, the breakfast was decent and most of all our room & hotel room was VERY CLEAN!!!! Also you cannot beat the price!!!

Rich Rall

Was glad they have laundry facilities! I work for a drive away service (semi tractor & trailers) This particular trip was supposed to be a one day trip however it turned into 3 days Therefore I did not pack extra clothes so I was glad I could do laundry instead of being in stinky clothes for the third day

Location was excellent but a little tough getting into because of construction No places to eat after 9:30 pm so I went to Walmart for something to eat

We booked for a king suite whirlpool and sadly to say the room could be clean better Some of the walls were peeled and still damp wet towels, followed by dusty vent/no trash bags in bins Even found some condiments on the floor and bread pieces outside in the patio

3/5 star for cleanlinessFront desk was phenomenal during the evening, but morning could smile more and at least try to listen to my worries/complaints She was rude in a way for rushing me vs asking other customers how was their stay Not a great send off Would’ve been a 5/5 star for services Which turned out to be a 3/5 starLocation was great, due to the fact it was close by to many places I wanted to browse and shop etc Will we be back? No, for not treating us fairly Not worth the price

Latoria Anderson

I checked in to stay during an audit and didn’t want to leave the room so I arrived with a lot of luggage I called the front desk and asked that they open the back door so I wouldn’t struggle with carrying everything in After advising that I must check in through the front, I explained why that would be difficult to do granite the amount of items I was carrying

An AA girl came to let me in and ensured I was checked in properly She was also training a new young lady of which they were both polite and a joy to communicate withMy room was clean and accommodating while I also enjoyed the many amenities of the hotel including the nice lounge, pool, washer and dryer use with supplied laundry detergent, bar and the gym I rate this 5 stars

Feedback From Real Customers

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!
