This is the best hotel in Madison and it's not even close. Keep up the good work. Shout out to the van drivers and desk staff. I'm sorry I'm so bad at names, but the guy who worked the late-night shift on Friday, 9/26 is super nice and super helpful.

Best hotel stay in Madison!

From the moment we drove up, it was a pleasure to stay at the Doubletree. Excellent, attentive staff at the desk, restaurant/bar, housekeeping. It was a bonus to get rides within 2 mile radius to our favorite downtown locations, and the drivers gave us great information about the history of Madison. Room was very comfortable, slightly larger than standard hotel room. Entire property was beautiful, nice aesthetic, clean. Even the parking garage was spotless! Will definitely stay here again!
