Embassy Suites by Hilton Madison Downtown

New property with a great location. Poor internet though and avoid the valet at all cost. I watch a crowd of people who checked out on a Saturday wait over an hour for their cars. I parked in the garage accross the street for $1.80 and hour vs. valet for $40. . . Get loud on the weekends with parent imbiding libations in the lobbhy while the kids and dogs run unsupervised on the upper floors. Omlettes are over-cooked to order.

Walkable area. Nice gym and bar area. Staff is really nice. Parking ram is across the street. Near the lake and capital. Small hike to campus

I stayed here from 4/29 - 5/7 and the entire experience was great. Rina at the registration desk clearly knows what she's doing, so when I arrived, looking like I would have fit in with the people on the helicopter at the end of Jurassic Park, she got me checked in and on my way to my room in just a couple of minutes. I gave four stars to the area around the property only because of a construction area along one side of the building. The only issue I recall is that the safe in my room wouldn't lock on the first night. When I returned from my convention the next day, a new safe had been installed and there were no further problems. The bar staff were super quick and friendly, and the hotel restaurant is quite good as well. I will definitely stay here again.
