The hotel is really old. However location is great. Went to WI for a conference and this was the overflow hotel. The TV didn't work properly in my room, had to get up of bed to turn it on and off. The room smelled like garbage at all times. They gym is extremely small. I won't stay there again on my next visit to Madison.
I liked everything about it! Everyone was so friendly and respectful. Just awsome!!

Stay in the Governor's Club
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/17/07
If you want to stay near the fun of Madison this is the place to go. The website says it's near state street but you literally walk out the door and everything is there. I highly recommend staying on the Governor's Club level. The evening cocktail hour is fantastic - top shelf liquors with a round bar and comfy furniture. Morning breakfast ...
One of us left his keychains in the room after we checked out.
We called the customer service and asked them to check the room for us. They claimed there is nothing in the room. We went back to the hotel to talk to the front desk directly. They were not helpful, very impatient. only asked us to fill a lost form. As we were not so sure, we ...
Booked the hotel from priceline for 2 days. They messed with our reservations. The key won't work on the 2nd day when we got back.
Took us over 1/2 hr waiting. Then asked us to change a room. We requested to talk to the manager, switched us back to our previous room finally.

Won't Go Back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/23/06
We stayed in one of the "normal" rooms (Not the Club Level). The lobby and restaurant are very nice, but our room was not.
Our room was not clean. There was dust everywhere and the shower was downright filthy. In addition, two light bulbs (lamps) were burnt out on our arrival. We called the front desk, but replacement bulbs never ...
The Governor's Club level is made up of the top three floors of the Concourse Hotel. The perks make it well worth the extra cost, which includes a great continental breakfast and evening drinks, appetizers, and dessert. Add to that a private elevator, thick terricloth robes, bottled water, fresh fruit, chocolates and turn-down service--all at ...

Charming!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/24/05
A UW alum, I took my sweetheart to Madison to celebrate his birthday, and to recall my long lost youth.
While our room was merely "comfortable", any shortcomings were more than compensated for by the view: the illuminated Capitol Dome filled our entire window (I left the drapes open all night just to enjoy it during moments of ...

"Fantastic for school events or persoanl getaways"
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/14/05
The staff was extremely courteous and helpful from the initial reservations to checkout services. The location is fantastic: Walking distance to State Street, the farmers market, and campus events. I originally stayed with a group of 20 high school students and was so inpressed with the attitude and service to not only the adults in the group ...
