Fitchburg Vacations from $383

Proximity to the State Capitol and the famous farmer's market. Convenience. Starbucks adjascent. Rooms are spacious and the hotel two major views - lake view (from the distance) and Capitol. Friendly staff both at the desk and the bar - excellent expresso martini. Negative: no digital safe box but ancient/stone age box kept in the back of the front desk. They should move to digitatization and fully integrate into a technology savy operation.

The staff were wonderful

We had a great 2-night stay at the Saddlery when dropping off our Freshman at U-Madison. We had a lovely view of Lake Monona, and our 2-bedroom unit was great for the three of us, plus extra space to stash all of our kiddo's dorm stuff for the night (didn't want to leave it in the car). Everything seemed new, and we appreciated the kitchen for breakfast! I will say that neither of our bedrooms had windows - they were on the interior of the unit. But the bedrooms had ceiling fans so that helped (we are a windows open every night kind of family), and the unit had A/C so for most it won't be an issue. There is a cute roof-top patio for the whole building, also with a killer lake view. Beds were comfy, the unit was super clean. A minor bathroom sink drain issue was resolved immediately. It's a little off the beaten path if you are spending a lot of time at the University, but we like to walk, took the bus a bit, and appreciated the extra space and that view when we returned to the unit. Lots of great restaurants nearby as well.

Great property for campus visit

Great location along the lake and trails
