Top Lake Monona Hotel Reviews

The Dylin

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for exploring downtown on foot! Had my dogs with me so really appreciated their dog friendly policy. The room was spacious and the kitchenette was well stocked. Parking is a bit pricey but worth it for the convenience since the surrounding streets limit parking to 2 hours between 8am and 6pm. Was easy to contact the staff (text) when I had questions and they were very responsive. Would recommend and would stay here again!"

Moxy Madison Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The gym was great. The hotel second floor lobby was a great place for our group to gather. The king rooms were very small. The double queen rooms were very well laid out with two sleeping areas with bathroom in between. The only downside was that the lobby area wasn’t as clean as I thought it should be."

Best Western Premier Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great stay, though beware the need for valet parking ($30/night, or you need to locate another parking option which is going to be far less easy or convient in terms od if you have more than a carry-on to move around) but very nice staff and space. Beds were quite firm and did not live up to the quality of the rest of the details, but overall enjoyable experience in a great location right outside the Ccapitol with many walkable amenities and food/drink options."

Best Western Plus InnTowner Madison

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great, even the continental breakfast."

Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Madison South

10/10 Excellent

The Saddlery Madison Downtown

8/10 Good

"Staff had me contact Expedia to ask Expedia to give the hotel my payment information. I’ve never had this happen and we were on our way to check in. They wouldn’t let us check in until they got the information from Expedia"
