Nice, clean room. 7-8 am, noisy. Terrible restaurant, service, attitude, speed, cleanliness of dishes, everything leaves room for significant improvement. There are many cheaper alternatives nearby with better service and good food.

The best DoubleTree in the country. This is the second time we've booked their conference space and the team is always top notch. Excellent staff- front desk, conference services, shuttle, and restaurant/ bar. Would highly recommend.

Got stuck in Madison due to a cancelled flight and this is the hotel I ended up at. The staff was spectacular and the room was nice. Only complaint about the room was thin walls. I overheard everything the man in the next room was saying and agree that the red shirt was the right choice for dinner. Location to downtown was perfect, too. I was able to walk everywhere I wanted to go.
