Top Madison Hotel Reviews

The Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor's Club

The Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor's Club

10/10 Excellent
"The front desk and shuttle driver the night of the 24th were wonderful. I feel like an ass I didn’t get their names. I worked in hospitality for over a decade and it is exhausting on the best days. These three (2 men, the one woman, one drove the shuttle) were delightful humans. They were funny, friendly and authentic. Missing from so many of our lives. Oh, and there was a woman - I think a manager - randomly complimented me on my pants (cool embroidered jeans) the day before. It’s an establishment full of happy, kind people who happen to be at work. Stay here."
