Top Lake Monona Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Madison Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was outstanding!"

The Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor's Club

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding location and property. My wife and I will be returning for certain!"

Hotel Ruby Marie

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast pretty good--cereal and bacon, potatoes and real scrambled eggs Room I had was next to a busy street but reasonably quiet at night, but at about 7:54 a.m. a train goes by. Location easy to get to, but not close to campus. Across street from Lake Monona, nice view from window, close to walking and bike paths and plenty of bus service. Large bike rental place across street. Madison has fantastic biking opportunities. Direct ride from hotel on bike path separated from street for 40 miles to New Glarus and Spotted Cow Brewery and Swiss food."

The Saddlery Madison Downtown

8/10 Good

"Great location and rooftop overlooking the lake! The room itself was nice, but the window was a low and odd as it is an old warehouse. We didn’t know this was not a staffed facility and hadn’t been provided a code ahead of time. Thankfully when I called, they were able to get us a code. If it had been late or bad weather that would have been quite frustrating."

Hotel Indigo Madison Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We have been here several times, convenient location. Great parking garage. Rooms are awesome. Great coffee bar and restaurant."

The Edgewater

10/10 Excellent

"The Edgewater is one of my favorite hotels. I had such a wonderful stay and always enjoy being here. I’ll definitely be back!"

Moxy Madison Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Parking convenient, clean room"
