What guests think

At Madison Marriott South, many guests highlight friendly, helpful staff, clean spaces, and a convenient location for events, highways, and trails, though some reported slow, crowded check in during peak times.

Rooms are generally comfortable, but several guests were assigned different bed types than booked and a few noted loud HVAC or minor maintenance issues. Facilities draw praise for the shuttle and for the pool and hot tub when available, though a couple of stays were affected by a pool closure. On-site dining earned compliments, while the paid coffee charge bothered some. A solid pick for event trips and short stays with useful amenities.

I stayed two nights with my two kids. The room was meticulously clean and we found the beds and pillows very comfortable. The pool and hot tub were a great size and were clean and functional. There were always plenty of pool towels available. The game room was a nice bonus. We ordered food from The Hub once and we were very happy with the taste and quality of the food and how thoughtfully and carefully it was packed. All the staff we encountered without exception were kind and friendly. We would absolutely choose the Sheraton again in future trips to Madison.

Our visit was fabulous. We were in town to visit family and the hotel is in a great location for food and entertainment. We love it here. Will the bartender, treats us well and the food is sensational. This place is super clean, the staff is friendly and quiet so we always rest well.

Booked for the pool, when arrived it was under construction. No notice at the time of booking. Additionally, the a/c unit sounded like an aircraft taking off throughout the night. Had do not disturb notice on the door and maid still barged in before we had checked out. The staff weren’t personable.

I specifically asked for a pool but it was under construction when I got there. If that is going to be advertised they should have it open or don’t advertise it.

The staff were amazing! We had a large group there for the Badger game and was excited about the free shuttle. Although the driver was out sick the day we needed him for a ride the manager stepped in and drove our group to dinner and back. Their customer service exceeded my expectations. We will definitely go back.

Location was the reason we chose this property-to attend an event at Allianz Energy center. The lobby area is modern and inviting. After that, it is not what I would call Sheraton standards. I reserved a King room but received a double “Queen” which is not really that. They replaced Queen beds with full size mattresses. Our toilet wouldn’t flush, our heater was physically broken with parts laying on the floor and it was obnoxiously loud every time it kicked on. Staff was great-this just isn’t really a Sheraton level brand of product.

The hotel was nice and the bar area was good. We were attending an event that was at the Alliant Energy Center, so location perfect. I would have given a higher overall rating, but I had booked a King room through Expedia and was given a double without explanation. When I brought it up, no discount or offers were made to me.

I went to check in at 230 and was told to come back at 315. Check in was at 3:00. Once I came back I was told I wasn’t getting a king room due to a late check in! Even though I was there early. I was told that Expedia overbooked their king rooms by 30 rooms. I specifically wanted a king room and then got 2 double beds.

I stayed at this hotel to attend a concert nearby. I arrived early and asked about early check in and was told it would be about 45 mins before my room was ready so I went to grab some food and wait. When I got back there was a line that wrapped through the lobby 3 times full of angry people because no rooms were ready and doors were opening for the concert in 30 minutes. They also offered a shuttle service but you couldn’t sign up for that until check in so the shuttle was full before we even had a chance to sign up. We got ready in the lobby bathroom and headed to the show rather than waiting. We returned at 2am and the front desk staff couldn’t even be bothered to say anything more than “sign here.” There’s construction happening and the next morning we woke up to shouting in the hallway and water pouring out of the ceiling right by the elevators. This was among the worst hotel experiences I have had.

When I visit Madison I usually stay near the capitol, but that wasn’t available. This location is a bit further but a winner - parking was free and easy, bike share (b-cycle) dock on property, right on bike/foot path to Lake Monona and downtown. Great for morning walks and getting back and forth. Staff were also very friendly and accommodating. Rooms have a strange layout with closet in bathroom- but a minor issue

The food was amazing and the bartender (Will) was especially attentive and made sure that we knew our way around. The adult beverages were very tasty and completed our evenings. The location was perfect for meeting with family and close to the highway. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will certainly be back.
