Top Lake Mendota Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Madison Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Clean , well equipped room. Good breakfast. Good proximity to UW campus. Love that it’s dog friendly"

Hotel Ruby Marie

10/10 Excellent

"I've stayed at the Hotel Ruby Marie before, and I came back. I even passed their card along to friends. The furnishings are antique, like the building. The amenities are great; a ticket for free beer at happy hour at the bar on the lower level; when I also wanted dinner, I was encouraged to carry the beer outside to the bar/restaurant next door for dinner. The weekday breakfast buffet is abundant, including a delicious dessert, and set in an antique cafe surrounded by retired kitchen equipment and even a library. And quiet, as it's only for hotel guests. The location is across the street from the walking/biking trail beside Lake Monona. One heads-up: there are railroad tracks right out front, and they are used! One night 4 trains passed through, the next night none. I understood why they provide earplugs along with the mints on the beside table."

The Saddlery Madison Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"had a wonderful stay in the one-bedroom lake-view suite at The Saddlery. The suite was beautiful, spotless, and very well appointed. The kitchen had everything I needed for my stay, and the lake views (especially from the rooftop) were absolutely stunning. The communication from the team was excellent. When I needed to extend my stay by an extra night, they made the process seamless by combining my reservations so I didn't have to check out and move rooms. The check-in instructions and directions for accessing the building and amenities were clear and easy to follow. A couple of minor things to note: the high ceilings add a lot of character to the space, but they don't do much to dampen sound from neighboring units. I could hear heavy footsteps from the guests upstairs and ended up using earplugs at night. Also, the shower didn't get quite as hot as I prefer. Overall, these were small issues compared to the many positives. The location, views, cleanliness, amenities, and outstanding customer service made for a great stay, and I would happily stay here again."

The Dylin

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent communication from the moment I booked. Onsite parking garage was a nice bonus as on street parking can be limited in this area. Entry code worked perfectly for the garage, front door and room door. I booked to attend a concert at Breeze Stevens Field and this hotel is just a few blocks away so tt was an easy walk. The hotel is clean and modern. We would definitely stay here again. "
