“Better Than Advertised”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

From check-in to check-out, interactions with every staff member were warm, courteous, and professional. I was graciously welcomed at the front desk, had a welcome letter upon entering my room, chocolates delivered at turn down, and a "Thank You for Staying" email the next morning. The room was well kept and very clean. My king bed was comfortableand provided a good night's sleep. Internet connectivity was consistently good. Breakfast spread offered plenty of options and was well presented. It's no surprise that this Doubletree consistently is voted one of the best in the country. I hope to find my way back for another stay in the near future.

Room Tip: Although I didn't ask ...... some rooms have a view of the capitol ...... would have been nice...

“Great place for business travel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

Stayed here for three days while in Madison on business. I found the hotel to be very comfortable and the staff to be very accommodating. Used the fitness club and the restaurant for breakfast and both were of very high quality. Centrally located close to the University as well as the downtown area. Would definitely stay again.

“Very nice stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

I stayed overnight for a conference. The shuttle picked me up when I arrived and dropped a group of us off at our conference location the next morning. The warm chocolate chip cookie at check in was delightful. Clean, modern, great little sports restaurant/bar where I got a large salad and a cup of coffee. Friendly, efficient staff. I'd definitely stay here again.

“I always stay here when visiting if rooms are available”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

I've been staying at this hotel for years. My children attend UW and the proximity to them can't be beat. The staff is friendly, the rooms are spotless and the beds are very comfortable. Their restaurant serves a fine breakfast. Occasionally, when big events are happening, the hotel sells out and I have to stay elsewhere. Although there are other fine hotels I seem to always return to the Doubletree.
