Oh no, sorry to hear about this! Our front desk agents are trained to inform guests how much it would cost for parking, we will reiterate the importance of transparency. Thank you!
Like it all. Nice room. Comfortable, clean. Great view. HVAC was noisy. Shut it off and perfect temp throughout the night. Wonderful staff. Very tasty breakfast options in restaurant. Would stay here again

Oh no, deepest apologies for the hassle of parking. Being downtown, it is a bit difficult to expand our parking options. While we do have coffee for purchase in the gift shop and the restaurant, under the TV's is a coffee maker in the rooms where the coffee is complimentary. We will be sure to inform our front desk team to let our guests know about that option moving forward.Thank you for your review!
Liked everything besides the parking. Had hard time the first night and had to go across the street to fine additional parking.

Thank you for your review! The downtown parking options are a bit tight and limited. I do hope the front desk waived your fee for parking on that first night for the hassle.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review Jennifer, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you next time you're in Madison.
The property was nice and good to stay at the reason we gave it a good rating was because the garbage was not emptied in our bathroom from the previous people and our refrigerator did not work.
They do have a nice bar though and a shuttle that will drop you off to things nearby.

Jacuzzi was broken and that was a bummer. Also had dinner at The Audrey was severely unimpressed.
The rest of the property was wonderful. Great room. Clean. Helpful staff.

Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. While it appears you enjoyed your stay overall, we are always looking for our guests' stays to be a 10. Do you have any suggestions or items we could change to help us achieve this? Thank you for your business and for any additional feedback you may be able to provide.
Location is nice.
Check in was delayed; no TV for entire evening (“Sorry, our Dish is out and it’s out of our control.”); sounded like masses of water were coursing through our room’s walls continuously from the moment we arrived with no abatement.

Dear Mark,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your recent stay. First I apologize for the lack of service and empathy given by our team. This is in contradiction to all we preach and coach on property. Please feel free to call the hotel directly and ask to speak with me. I'd like to personally apologize as well as see if there is any further details that can assist me as I address this concern. I know the TV concern has been fixed but would like to learn more about the interaction with the staff member. We hope you consider staying with us again, and I would be happy to personally get involved in any visits to Madison.

Service & comfort not up to par for the price. Restaurant did not have capacity to serve hotel guests. There were a few things liked. It was nice that there were EV chargers in the garage. The view was beautiful!

Other than a really good location, this hotel deserves no more than a 3 1/2 star rating. Housekeeping does not make up a room for several days unless you contact the front desk to request towels and room cleaning. They have a self service coffee bar in the lobby but charge $4.00 a cup and also charge for wifi.
The hotel is older and the rooms are small and could use a makeover.The airconditioners are very loud. On the plus side the employees were very nice and tried their best.

Thank you for your review! To address some of your concerns: Hilton brands have officially started daily stayover service, our property included, starting October 2. Madison does have many coffee shops within walking distance of the hotel if someone is not interested in the Starbucks brand we carry inside the hotel, and all are very good. We hope you come back the next time you are in Madison and try out some of the localized shops near by!
My niece and I stayed here for a weekend. The location is beautiful. We had nothing but excellent service from every staff person we met. We did have a maintenance issue in our room but staff took care of it promptly. The restaurant was great. We walked to the Farmer's Market and to shopping on State Street. We went to an event at the convention center next door and the skywalk to that from the hotel was very convenient!

It's a great property. The views of Lake Monona are incredible.
More care could be taken with the property though. Mostly small things -- Dusting the walls inside the restaurant. Room service was inconsistent about replenishing towels. Rust on some of the door frames in the bathrooms.
Overall I really enjoyed my stay here. It was clean and well kept. My main complaint is that when I arrived, they wanted to add on all these extra charges, which I found to be ridiculous, considering Expedia had given me a total amount. I had to add on $100 for parking, and they put a $75 hold on my card as well. A little misleading.

absolutely beautiful hotel! lake views spectacular! staff professional and friendly!
Overall ok experience with nice staff and clean main areas however parking costs are a bit too high at $25 a night, and the pool was filthy with floating “stuff” and dirt settled on the bottom; it needs cleaning.
