Omg the property (INSIDE) was extremely gorgeous, love it. The outside however…this property is sandwiched between residential homes and across the street from a school. The view from my room was…laughable honestly. I open the curtains & to my surprise it’s someone’s home with beat up broken down cars in the yard and CHICKENSSS roaming free lol.

Honestly, one of my favorite hotels I’ve stayed at a long time the staff the service, the aesthetics decoration all just awesome Unfortunately, we are there just for a show at the Kessler, which is conveniently very close but we got to the hotel at 6:30 went straight to the venue sleep and left the next morning at seven hence why I say unfortunate because we didn’t get the full experience of the hotel Definitely be coming back to the Kessler and other music events in the area and will definitely be staying here again. Looking forward to it.

Great boutique hotel, close to downtown!

We stayed for one night, came to town for a concert and the staff was amazing, and check in and check out was a breeze and everything was done through text messages. Only thing to “complain”, was that parking is very limited, so we had to park in the street, but other than that, it was a great stay! Oh and they gave us free wine and beer in the evening, right before our concert, so that was amazing!

My stay at this beautifully designed and immaculate boutique hotel was truly enjoyable. The staff were lovely, friendly, welcoming, and always helpful. Parking was easy and convenient, and the location is in a walkable area, which made exploring the surroundings a pleasure. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free. This place is a true gem, and I’ll definitely be returning. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Parking was a little strange with the street a one way during school drop off and pick up times. Also, it would have been nice to have bottled water in the room.

Highly recommend staying at The Madison! It exceeded my expectations. I was a little concerned about the parking situation before we got there, but it was not a problem at all. If you aren’t able to park in the little back lot, there is plenty of safe, well-lit street parking available. Having a complementary glass of wine on the patio during their social hour was an amazing surprise, as the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful.

The Madison is a gem!

The location was great for visiting friends and enjoying the Bishop Arts District. The highlight of the stay was the service we received from the young lady at the front desk. She's a gem!

Cute but not comfy

The place was very cute, newly refurbished. However the rooms were very small, we booked a standard queen room, and the bed was 100% not a queen sized bed, it was a full. It was also uncomfortable. Bathroom is the size of a closet, very small.
