DoubleTree by Hilton Madison Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Was nice and good location"

"We've stayed at the Edgewater a couple times & it is definitely our first choice whenever we visit Madison. Beautiful location, clean and luxurious hotel, great food, and a very friendly staff. What's not to love?"

Hotel Ruby Marie

10/10 Excellent

"The entire property was beautifully maintained, preserving the elegance of the original design with modern amenities. The location and parking are both highly convenient for downtown Madison at a superb price. The soaking tub in the room might be the greatest amenity I've ever had at hotel. My only complaint is that the air conditioner in our room didn't work properly, but otherwise I would recommend Hotel Ruby Marie to anyone looking to stay in Madison!"
