great place to stay in Madison. Would be perfect if closer to UW :) Very inviting lobby, spacious, clean rooms. The only negative was the small pool, which I never use anyway, but my teens were looking forward to swimming. Would stay here againMore
This is my favorite place to stay in Madison. It is modern, clean, and newer. Rooms are great, and nicely equipped for the business traveler. Boutique style decor. My only criticism would be the breakfast options. Limited buffet available for $10. Smaller breakfast items are not the greatest.
Thank you for your positive comments about our beautiful hotel. In addition to our breakfast buffet, we have various breakfast menu items available for purchase. We hope to see you soon! -Dave
Stayed here for a weekend while my cousin got married downtown.
Read great reviews from this place.
Checked in at about 5:30, past check in time and the guy at the desk didn't know if our room was ready and said he would have to ask the supervisor if our room was available.
When I asked him why, he said, "well we were booked last night and I'm not sure what rooms are ready" I was a little stressed as I had somewhere to be and needed to get ready quickly.
About 10 minutes later we were checked it. I did ask him if he was knew and he said yes, so I believe he didn't know how to work the computer system. He also told us our breakfast was free and it was not.
Room was great, large, which is opposite of downtown area rooms. Very modern and clean.
The next day we arrived to our room 2:30pm to find our room had not been cleaned yet and the cleaning lady was cleaning it when we arrived. This also did not help as we needed to get ready for the wedding that was downtown. I did not like having to wait an additional 20 minutes for that.
Of note, the beds were very comfortable. The hotel is in an area with office and business buildings. There is a gas station, pub and a Subway about 4 minutes away but they all close early. The next closest is a good 10 minutes away.
I would stay here again, however not if I had a place I needed to be at a certain time. Traffic adds a lot of time on and it's difficult to avoid it if going toward downtown.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It's an exciting time when guests are in town for a wedding. We hope to see you again when your travels bring you back in to Madison.-Dave
Fresh new option for business travelers! Very clean, great staff, wonderful work desk with sitting area.
You discovered us! We are so glad that you stayed with us. Give us a call when your travels bring you back to Madison.-Dave
Recently stayed here while visiting the area for work with EPIC. While the hotel is new and nice, there are hotels in the area with far greater amenties for the business traveler.
For instance, this is at least the 5th time I've traveled to the area in the past 18 months- staying over a week each time- this is the first time I have not had complimentary breakfast, lite dinner, snacks in the room (popcorn, fruit, etc...) and complimentary beer and wine during happy hour. There is also substantially fewer restaurants and shopping in the area.
This hotel is also a significantly further ride time to the EPIC site on the shuttle bus- so be prepared- the good news is that the hotel does at least offer complimentary coffee.
If you are in town for business- there are definitely more business travel friendly hotels that are just as nice with far more "perks" for the longer stays especially.
Also, if you need handicap accessible- they book quickly!
Thank you for your feedback. Your comments help us in exceeding expectations for future guests. Thanks! -Dave
As first time visitors on a stopover in Madison, we had no time to spend actually exploring the city. That's an omission we'll have to deal with another time. So we looked for a hotel close to the airport where we could rendezvous with the people we were to visit two hours north of Madison. It turned out the Cambria Suites were neither near the airport nor near the city center; we paid for a $20 cab ride from the airport. Oh well. The Cambria is situated in what seemed like a business park in a newer developed area, with about as much charm as any green-belted, concrete tilt-up, fast food sprinkled suburban area you now find all across this country. So at least the hotel is tastefully decorated, scrupulously maintained, and features any convenience a weary traveller could want--except a restaurant that serves food past early evening! And nothing promising in walking distance. We made do with snacks from the hotel's little shop and waited for breakfast, which was fair and ample but nothing to write home (or here!) about. Staff were nice, if not overly solicitous. But we got the rest we needed, enjoyed the decor, and had a comfortable stay.
We are glad you got the rest you needed. We take pride in offering the best comfort and cleanliness in the Madison area. We hope that you'll visit us again. -Dave
