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

Easy check in but when asked about the shuttle, we were informed it was not availableOur room door was ajar, which was disconcerting We had a cleaning crew worker contact maintenance to find out they were fixing door and we may need to move

We did not unpack Later, when the maintenance worker fixed our door, we practiced locking/unlocking to our satisfaction Ten minutes later, our door opens!!!! No knock or verbal warning!What lack of communication!Why would they even give us that particular room when there are six floors of them!

VERY UNCLEAN AND RUDE, STAY ANYWHERE ELSEWhen we first checked in, our pillow cases had stains and blood spatters on them I was told if I wanted new sheets I would have to change them myself so I asked for a new room The second room had hair on the wall and a huge greasy stain on the headboard, plus more stains on sheets

Was again told there would be no one to clean it so was given a third room The third room had a broken AC/HEATER so we either had to sleep with no heating and cooling or try to sleep to a loud banging sound the whole night When I complained to the manager she was extremely rude but promised me that I would be refunded my points for my stay Instead I recieved $75 so will now need to call Marriott to sort out Cancelled our second night and stayed at AC Hotel in Madison AC hotel in Madison is 10-20 bucks more and absolutely divine Clean, updated rooms with incredible staff and delicious restaurant facing the capital Spend the money there or save money and stay somewhere else Just don’t stay at the Sheraton Madison

Mary Manolis

I stayed here for 3 nights in early June 2022 I am appalled that this place is allowed under the Marriott nameUpon arrival (we did not need the airport shuttle during arrival) we asked about being added to the complimentary airport shuttle for departure day and were told the shuttle is not running and we would have to call down to the front desk the day we were leaving

The hotel would then call the cab service of their choice and comp the cost of the cab The day my mother left, she began calling the front desk and for 20 minutes received no answer She went to the front desk and no one was there except a security guard who would not assist her 23 minutes later a “manager” finally showed up and called a cab but didn’t provide the voucher for the cab ride so the driver had to go back into the hotel and spend another 5 minutes obtaining that My mom made it to the gate as her flight was boardingWhen I checked out a few hours later and asked about this I was told it was a private security matter and all guests were safe and it was none of my business None of this aggressive response provided any explanation as to why they couldn’t provide a service that was listed as available on their website When I said that to the woman checking me out she became more aggressive that their security issue was none of my business When I shared this with my mom later she said that she saw no police, fire or any emergency services when waiting for assistance so I really don’t understand where their 24/7 staff was The lack of enough staff needs to be reflected in what amenities they have and their website needs to be updated to indicate what they do have so guests can make an informed decision while staying thereI worked part of the time during my stay Their workstations are not private so I worked in my room Their hotel photos show a desk and office chair but in actuality the rooms don’t have that set up making work difficultOn our first morning I was working in my room and housekeeping knocked and opened the door before I could even respond Apparently someone didn’t update our arrival and checkout days so housekeeping had a wrong list of which rooms to cleanThe main lobby and outside seating seemed nice at a quick glance but upon further inspection dust and excessive cobwebs cover the outdoor lights, crumbs and bird droppings are all over the outside seating and the inside area has sticky surfaces The room itself had dust and cobwebs in the windowsills and dust on the top shelf where thr inroom coffee isThe staff is either nice but lacking in knowledge or rude and aggressiveI had other family staying at the comfort inn next door which for 10 dollars less a night had larger rooms, a cleaner pool and outside seating area and complimentary full breakfastI would never stay at this hotel again and would encourage anyone to avoid it It’s poorly managed and clearly employees, including the manager, don’t care about the incorrect information on their website and how this is reflects on their service The price I paid for services received is a jokeI’m also having to keep an eye on my credit card as I see my amount as having been paid 3 days ago but the same amount is listed as pending payment todayThis hotel is horribly run and clearly has some process issues they need to correct A cute car in the lobby does not make for a positive hotel stay as a guest given all of their problems

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

Tom Chubaty

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!

Steven Hamilton

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

Absolutely blown away by the professionalism and care the staff puts into their work! The front desk woman Lindsey is such a sweetheart and is always so kind and helpful, she deserves a raise! Also Jermaine has gone above and beyond to make sure I have felt welcome and comfortable during my stay, the amenities are essentially a furnished apartment and I couldn’t be happier with my room! I’ll be recommending extended stay to everyone I know from here on out!

Ashley Ryan

This place is amazing, the rooms are cleaned and nice and the house keepers are friendly and amazing cleaning, the front desk staff is so helpful and they really care about there guess, super helpful with anything and if there’s a problem they are right on it and they get it done quickly I would recommend this place to anyone who staying short term or long term Best out of 1000000%, Jermaine and andy are the best, and the front desk staff will make you feel like your home away from home, and there amazing will all pets that come in the make your pets feel welcome to, thank you for all your hard work

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

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

Tony Jacob

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 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!

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

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!!!!

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

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!

Room was clean, smelled fresh Service desk staff were friendly on checkin Everything in our stay was great No complaints

Decided to change the review since except for the front desk manager, Jennifer Carter, rest of the FD and breakfast staff were very nice Rooms are clean and spacious Ready to make breakfast was great

I would have given 4 stars if the FD manager accommodated any my requests First I called to check-in early and she flat out refused even though 50% of the hotel was empty Then I had to call repeatedly to have room service, but she would not accommodate Other FD staff were nice though and courteous

This was probably one of my best hotel stays ever The room exceeded my expectations, it was so nice! The staff were all very professional and friendly Super comfortable bed in the two room suite

It had all the cooking utensils we needed, dishes,etc The location is really cool too because it’s nice and quiet, but close enough to everything I will definitely return If you haven’t stayed here yet, you definitely should You won’t be disappointed

All around great experience Front desk staff members were friendly and informative Room (studio) was clean and surprisingly spacious for the price

Room was quiet during my entire stay Complementary breakfast was decent with a good amount of selection and daily variety The only gripe I can think of was the gym was quite limited outside of cardio Overall, I definitely enjoyed my stay here

My dog was being treated for cancer at UW – Madison from April until last week when she lost her battle We had six stays at this hotel during that time, all of which were consistently wonderfulThe rooms are large and clean, beds are comfortable, and the kitchen has a full sized fridge, which came in handy during some of our longer stays

Sometimes I had to stay here by myself, and it says a lot about both the hotel and the area that I felt safe to do so as a female traveling alone with a dog with mobility issues Breakfast was the typical continental fare, but that is all I neededThe staff here exceeds expectations, and truly could not have been nicer to me Jim is a standout in particular, as he always does the extra mile A couple of my stays were of an indefinite length of time at booking, and the staff was so easy and flexible at working with me to extend those stays when neededMy dog did not always stay with me on these trips (as sometimes she was in hospital), but when she did, there was plenty of convenient, well manicured access to grass outside the hotel, as well as pet waste stations around the perimeter of the hotel For non pet people, there was no dog smell or fur anywhere A lot of pet friendly hotels are a bit dingy – not this oneThis hotel is truly the five star hotel of three star hotels I cannot thank them enough for their hospitality, cleanliness, and dependability through a really difficult time

Service was kind and professional Our king suite was clean and comfortable The breakfast was really so awful though

Everything was so artificial and powdered tasting Absolutely inedible I couldn’t even make a toasted bagel taste good But for a clean and affordable stay It was a great value Just don’t rely on your complimentary breakfast

Jinoj Mathew

One of the best places to stay Service is phenomenal Upon check in received two bottles of water for being an honors member

Received texts daily asking how the experience was Room had a full kitchen and utensils Very clean and well maintained rooms Beds and pillow were very comfortable as well Breakfast is included and good selections are available daily Plenty of free parking also available Good location Highly recommend

Sometimes my expectations when I travel are not real high We booked our stay 2 hours away not expecting much more than a clean room and bed The location was a bit rough looking

The staff was super friendly and helpful We came in a little after happy hour and they let participate We were concerned about our room when we first entered it smelled like pot, and the window was partially open Don’t know what the issue was but it cleared out quick enough The room was clean and the bed was comfortable They were really busy so the hotel as a whole was noisy but understandable Breakfast was my one surprise! Great hot breakfast with lots of choices and the food was delicious Need a good overnight look no further

Hotel is good for a one night stay, it is an older hotel but it is very clean and comfortable in the sense that it has all one needs The staff is friendly and the check in process was simple Daily there is a Happy Hour from 5-7pm of Free Wine and Beer for guests only

There’s a complimentary buffet breakfast and it has a good variety of choices My child did take advantage of the indoor swimming pool which is open until 10pm nightly for children and then there’s an adult only time from 10p-12am I do recommend this hotel for one night maybe even two nights, don’t expect a 5 star hotel because it’s not, but the service is definitely 5 stars

My brother Tony and I, had a wonderful stay here The rooms was exceptionally well taking care of The breakfast fantastic

If you drink, they have the managers meet & greet with free wine and beer & snacks to socialize with your fellow travelers The staff and managers was some of the best customer relations I have seen in a whileThe closest has plenty of room with real hangers for your cloths, extra pillows without asking Just a wonderful place, a hidden jem when you need a getaway from the stress of life If you enjoy Mexican food like I do, the restaurant and grocery store less than 500 feet from the hotel has the best food, and grocery store next door, with authentic Mexican food, without the high costMarriott Hotels and suites can learn a lot from this very friendly staff

Comfortable, clean and quiet with awesome staff! After check in we had lovely complimentary evening snack with really quite nice wine and beer options followed by dinner at an excellent restaurant just up the street Looking forward to what looks to be a great breakfast with oatmeal and waffles Had a nice deep bath and about to drift off to sleep in our very comfy bed

Highly recommend!

Derek Blume

Quite disappointed with this place It is right offthe corner of two very busy roads, one an expressway However, the rooms have no sound proofing

It seems the front desk was unwilling to enforce the no-smoking policy Our floor smelled of marijuana both evenings of our stay Pets seem to be allowed, which would be fine except they allowed big dogs and people kept their animals in their room all alone for they day We had constant noise from a large dog in the room above ours all night long The televisions in the room were very out of date The underground parking garage was nice except for the cloud of cigarette smoke in there The pool and workout areas were nice The breakfast was only fair

I would advise seeking an alternative My parents are in their 70’s and my Dad is a double-lung transplant recipient Upon taking a serious turn in his health, he was flown to WI in a medivac plane from KY

My Mom got him situation in ICU and finally made it back to the hotel after 2am She left in the morning with the shuttle and was taken to the hospital…after returning at about 5pm, she went into the restroom and found someone had been in her room and vomited in the toilet They did not clean up their mess She needed to go to the restroom, so quickly cleaned it and made her way up the long hallway to report the incident They did bring a device down and found someone entered her room at 3:05pm The question was asked if could have been my Mom, my Dad or family…again, she was alone and took their shuttle to hospital She realized a small birthstone ring was missing from her nightstand (she had all of her other jewelry) and was upset Me being helpless in the situation I asked that she file a complaint with management A person working the desk explained he,”was in a bad mood and wouldn’t see guest” The direction given was to call the police My Mom was in no position to be going through that, and placing any loss to her on her was absurd, especially considering everything she had been through She left the next morning and was shuttled to a new hotel I have sought answers to policy and ask if the person was an employee and do they still work there and have gotten no where Simply getting her ring back would have dissolved the situation The recap from corporate is my Mom was switched rooms…she wasn’t She was offered but declined, as she isn’t in great shape herself to be moving rooms And that she left in a good mood, trust me when I tell you, that certainly wasn’t the case If you are a woman traveling alone, I would never recommend this hotel Also, no one at any level appears to care about your concerns I asked to speak to a Regional Manager to review policy on theft and corporate office bounced my concern right back to the property, promising a call back within 48 hours After 4 days, I responded to the email that I hadn’t been able to speak to someone Today’s email had the recap of everything they did to rectify (which was basically nothing), ending their insight to the matter I am not one to write a bad review, but clearly someone at that property isn’t opposed to inviting themselves into guest rooms…
