None of the rooms have 2 queens; if you need more than one bed you have to deal with a double.
The bedding is very nice, but for the money I would stay at the Sheraton (it has complimentary shuttle service to downtown,) the Crowne Plaza, or the Hotel Rubie Marie - all have great beds and nicer rooms.
Location is a plus, but parking is extra ...

Need free wireless internet in rooms, lose $12 parking surcharge
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/14/07
$10.00/24 hour of internet access in guest room at a $120+/night hotel in the middle of a city that offers free wi-fi hotspots everywhere in the immediate vicinity is ridiculous
Elevators may or may not take you directly to parking structure without switching elevators at the lobby level. Park in front of hotel to unload, bring car up to front ...

service was great!
By vajrabelle, 11/12/06
The rooms were pleasantly appointed and staff fell all over us when we stayed here. They couldn't have been any nicer or more helpful. I left my camera behind and they not only found it but shipped it to me right away. I can't believe they found it! If I go back, I won't hesitate to stay there again.

Great views!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/07/06
While other reviews are right, the pool is small, and the parking is cramped, there are many other things that this hotel offered to outweigh these negative things. Yes, parking is expensive and cramped, but it's like that anywhere in downtown Madison. The staff at the hotel was awesome. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, especially the ...

Park Down the Street and Save
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/09/06
Nice standard, small Hilton with great location on the lake and near the capitol and fabulous Saturday farmer's market. But please park in the public parking that is just down the street and save the money for some amazing local produce at the market.

Plenty of other hotels in Madison
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/07/06
We have stayed at a few other Hilton Hotels and were very satisfied, especially the Hilton in Knoxville (Alcoa), TN. but we were disappointed with the Hilton Monona Terrace in Madison.
Reasons: 1. Their indoor pool is 3 - 3 1/2 feet deep and my wife who is 5'1" walked the length of the pool in 15 steps. It was basically a large ...

This was an amazing experience!
By AmyF, 08/30/05
I liked this Hotel because it was well designed. Very classy. I am 13 but even I loved it. The reason I was there is because I was invited to help babysit at a Wedding Reception. And I was also invited to stay the night at that hotel where everyone else was. It was an amazing and fun night for everyone. My friend was with me and we had a blast. I ...

save your money
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/16/05
We hated this place because it is already very expensive for lodging alone, and then they tacked on surcharges for little things that oftentimes are included free at other hotels. For example, there was a 95 cent charge for every local call that extended to a per minute charge beyond a certain time period. They also charged $10/night for parking ...

Great views, average service
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/19/05
Located right downtown - walking distance from State Street and many office buildings. Nice views of the capitol building or the lake. Service was unremarkable and there were often lines at the front desk, but overall a good experience.
They do not honor the government rate during the summer.
