Monona Vacations from $696

Very nice stay, friendly staff, clean rooms nice location for bike trails and a beautiful park

The staff, especially Roxy, were incredibly friendly, helpful, and engaging, and we really enjoyed speaking with them. The location couldn't be more perfect, especially if you’re down there with a potential UW Madison student. The room's cleanliness left a lot to be desired, especially the bathroom. The beds were comfortable, and the hotel's theming, including the room, was cute. The rooftop bar is really fun and has a great view of the Capitol. Be aware that there is a substantial number of homeless individuals who hang out in the passageway from the hotel to State Street, but that is not the fault of the hotel. Lastly, the valet service was very efficient and had in-and-out privileges.

I expected more for the price. The room was nice but other than the terrace king nothing special. At this price point I would have expected the bed to be more luxurious, the bathroom had areas that needed repainting. The shampoo, conditioner and body gel were just okay. No bath salts or foam provided for the soaker tub. I did use room service and ate at the Statehouse, both were good. Would have liked their market open past 4pm given that was checkin time.
