Top Capitol Square Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Madison Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"."

The Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor's Club

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel. Check in was quick and easy. The parking garage was wonderful and so convenient. The floors are beautiful and my room was so spacious. I enjoyed the pool, which was a fantastic temperature. I really loved the extra security of needing to scan a room key to get to any floor that has rooms, especially as a solo female traveler. The vending machines were so convenient as was the Starbucks in the lobby. Highly recommend!"

Moxy Madison Downtown

8/10 Good

"Love the retro table too Arcadia games!"

Hotel Ruby Marie

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was great, but the area and kitchen where you eat could use some attention. I think a forewarning for the trains overnight would have been helpful, yes, I know that there is a track directly in front of the hotel but a heads up would be great. Need some attention to address the spiders near the windows. I was not a fan. also, if you’re changing up a room that you specifically book, that should be stated when you check in. especially when you have to book a specific room."
