Top Downtown Madison Visitor Center Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus InnTowner Madison

8/10 Good

"The shuttle was convenient and very helpful. Coffee and breakfast got us moving for game day."

The Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor's Club

8/10 Good

"Parking deck had an unusually low ceiling. The room was well maintained and clean."

DoubleTree by Hilton Madison Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are small but comfortable, and the bed and pillows are very comfortable! Location is great, front-desk staff are very friendly and helpful. The exercise gym is spacious and well-designed, looking onto a small patio. This is my second stay at this hotel and I would book it again when returning to downtown Madison."

Hotel Ruby Marie

8/10 Good

"Easy check in, with nice add ons! Didn’t make it to happy hour, but appreciated the coupons and ample space in the parking lot. Weekend breakfast at the restaurant two doors down was a welcome end to my quick trip away! I had a room with a water view, which also meant street side. If you are sensitive to noise, you’ll appreciate the provided ear plugs for late night street noise. I worried that there would be bar noise too on the Saturday night, but I didn’t notice any! Would definitely consider returning for future Madison trips."
