This hotel is convenient to campus and the staff is friendly, professional and accommodating. We brought our 50# black lab and it was nice to have a walking path and patio with dog poop bags available. Simple but just makes traveling so much easier. Will be staying here when I visit my kid at UW Madison over the next four years!

Had such a great experience here! I travel with my cat frequently. Most hotels that say they are pet friendly are only dog friendly. So it can sometimes be challenging finding accommodations. Not only was this hotel cat friendly, I was also given a cute goodie bag with a couple cat toys for my stay. Upon check in the front desk attendant was super friendly and helpful:) if I am ever in the area again this will be at the top of my list for places to stay.

Sheets were obviously not changed/cleaned. Bathtub backed up with water and it took forever for it to drain. They have a parking lot attached but its $20 a night to park, there really isnt any other option though. Restaurant had good food. Quick service. Front desk staff was friendly. Wouldn’t stay again strictly based on the dirty bed/sheets.

We tried to set up housekeeping for our last day of our stay. Staff wouldn’t book it with days in advanced. They wanted us to tell them the day of. So we waited and told them the day of. Front desk asked us what time we wanted it. We requested the morning. Left the room all morning so they could clean it, to come back to the room not done.

The bed was really uncomfortable. I practically wake up with back pain every morning. The pillows were too soft and did not hold my neck and head well at all. The first night we slept in a room where the HVAC made a drilling sound every hour which walk me up each time. It was HORRIBLE NIGHT. That was address by moving to a different room the next day, but they were only able to give us a smaller room and did not offer any type of compensation.

Weekend away with partner. Room was clean and contemporary. Walkable location. Mattress was old and lumpy. We kept rolling into the center of the mattress because it was so worn out (for reference, I am 110#). The people in the room above us kept us up all night. They were “stomping” around their room until 4:00 am (kids, perhaps?). It was awful.

I was attending for a Wisconsin football night game. Given the game time, I was not able to check in until the game was over. I made it to the hotel at 11.45pm. Unfortunately, the hotel internet was down and they were not able to check me in right away (had to wait an hour in the lobby). The person at the check in desk did the best she could with a tough situation. They were able to get the internet up an running and finally checked me in. The front desk was not able to provide me a room discount at check out; however, she suggested I reach out to the hotel manager (Dan) later on. I did so, and Dan was very gracious in handling the matter, and made no excuses for the wait. He waived the room charge for my one night stay. I was not expecting that at all. That more than met my expectations!! Thank you so much. Hilton Garden Inn will be my hotel of choice on my next stay in Madison.

Dayton at the front desk was a big help, since I was recovering from surgery, and I had some wonderful interactions with Wesley and Maddie in the restaurant, who were particularly helpful and kind.

Clean and comfortable. But our waitress at breakfast was unhelpful and unfriendly. Mainly I was very disappointed in the following: I had originally booked a two night stay but as it turned out we were unable to stay both nights. I canceled the second night a full day before our arrival. The hotel was clearly full and in demand, and they could easily have rebooked the room upon my cancellation, and probably did. But the front desk staff still refused to refund the second night when I made that request in person.
