Recent Reviews in Madison

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."

AmericInn by Wyndham Madison West

10/10 Excellent

"The room was great especially cause it had the joining door so my best friend to come over to my room. The breakfast was good had many options. The pool was very comfortable and clean and the hot tub was great, clean and nice and hot."

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."

The best times to visit Madison are typically during the spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the city is particularly inviting.Spring in Madison sees temperatures ranging from cool to mild, with average highs between 10°C and 20°C. The city's many parks and green spaces, such as the Olbrich Botanical Gardens and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum, begin to bloom, making it a beautiful time for outdoor activities like walking or cycling around Lake Monona or Lake Mendota. This period is also great for couples who enjoy exploring the city's outdoor attractions before the summer crowds arrive.Autumn offers similarly agreeable temperatures, usually between 10°C and 20°C, and the vibrant fall foliage around the lakes and across the university campus is stunning. This season is ideal for those who appreciate scenic beauty and a relaxed pace. Visitors can enjoy farmers' markets, like the Dane County Farmers' Market on the Capitol Square, which runs into early November, or take a scenic drive to see the changing leaves. For solo travellers, the cooler weather is great for exploring the city's museums, like the Chazen Museum of Art, and enjoying the local cafe culture.While summer (June to August) is warm and popular for lake activities and festivals, it can be quite busy and humid. Winter (November to March) is cold with snow, offering opportunities for ice skating or cross-country skiing, but many outdoor attractions are less accessible.
