Top Waubesa Beach Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Madison-West

8/10 Good

"It was clean and spacious and good for the one night we stayed. You could hear through the walls and into the hallway quite easily, so I would not want to stay here for a long period or if I knew I would be in the hotel a lot."

Tru by Hilton Madison West, WI

10/10 Excellent

"The room, while not large, was well thought out. The shower was large and you could step right into it. There were safety bars in good locations and the shower faucet was easy to use and regulate. The sink had a nice amount of space around it. Ice could be gotten from an ice machine in the lobby. There was a water machine next to it so that you could fill your water bottle with ice then water. Breakfast was free with pancakes you could make yourself, scrambled eggs, sausage, bagels, and oatmeal. The desk staff was welcoming and helpful."

AmericInn by Wyndham Madison West

10/10 Excellent

"This is our 2nd time staying here, and it will be our go-to while our kid is at UW Madison. It's not fancy, but it is clean, pretty updated, affordable, an easy drive to campus, close to a ton of restaurants and shopping, the beds are comfortable, and the breakfast is shockingly good for a basic hotel. Tons of options for breakfast and everything is really good and restocked often. It is also consistently lower priced that other area hotels. We will be back!"

Valued Stay Madison

8/10 Good

"In reality, this is a solid 3 stars. Nothing stood out enough to make it a 4 or 5, but nothing was bad enough to warrant a 1 or 2. I officially clicked 4 stars because anything below 4 is seen as "bad" on a review site. Cleanliness: the toilet, shower, floor, linens, shower, desk, fridge, microwave were all clean. There was a spot of something on the bathroom wall (all the walls seem to have been painted within the last few years), but washing down all the walls seems like expecting a lot. Comfort: the heat/AC worked well, the bed was fairly comfortable, and the linens were soft enough. The pillows were great an numerous. Ambiance: there's nothing exciting to look at out the window. This is a utility hotel. Most nights were quiet but there seemed to be people slamming doors all night one night. I never felt unsafe or uncomfortable. Parking seemed tight, especially if I got in later, but I found a spot each night. I could not smell the garbage dump (mid-October weather probably helped). Breakfast: exactly what I would expect from this type of hotel if not for all the reviews praising it. In fairness, I only went on Thurs/Fri, and there just weren't a lot of appealing options for a light meal. I think there were more options on Saturday/Sunday, but I skipped breakfast those days. Overall: as a single person going to an event at the Alliant Energy Center, this was a great choice. I will almost certainly pick the same hotel next year. With family I'd pick some place nicer."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Waubesa Beach?

The best time to visit Waubesa Beach is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is warm and ideal for enjoying the lake and outdoor activities.

During these months, you'll find average daily temperatures ranging from 20°C to 28°C, great for swimming, sunbathing, and watersports. The days are long, with plenty of sunshine, allowing for extended enjoyment of the beach and surrounding natural areas. This is also when local businesses and attractions are fully operational, offering the most options for dining and entertainment.

Families often find July and August particularly good, as school holidays align, making it easier to plan a trip focused on beach activities and watersports. The calm waters of Lake Waubesa are excellent for children to swim and play, and many local parks and ice cream parlours are bustling.

Couples looking for a relaxing getaway might prefer early June or late August. The weather is still lovely, but the crowds tend to be slightly smaller than in the peak of summer.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Waubesa Beach hotel for you.
