Modern. Relatively cheap. Staff was super friendly and helpful. I really loved the "college dorm" feel of the room -- and not an actual college dorm, more like what movies portray college dorms as. Didn't much appreciate the gay pride stuff around -- but it's Madison.

Loved the property and on site coffee shop, bar and restaurant - great view of the lake! It was wonderful to be so close to the late and walking trail that went for miles. That was an unexpected treat! The Graduate is kinda in the heart of campus and just a few blocks away from the main action - but one wouldn’t know it! Would totally stay here again on my next trip to Madison. Location was perfect for my trip to the U of W Vet hospital. In the other direction was the Capitol and all of its splendor. A great mix of nature and everything from this hotel!

Disappointing to find the Graduate in much need of updates. Room was so-so. Very few amenities. Parking garage not working. Cafe closed for a holiday. Renovation is due or overdue.

Hello Paul, I'm so sorry to hear you felt this way during your stay. You were staying with us in a suite during the holiday, in which our staff (due to being an eclectic collection of students from the campus!) were on limited to closed hours from Christmas until after the New Year. We're sorry if these things caused you any issues but hope to see you in the near future. Have a wonderful Sunday!

I needed to do some work at the Historical Society and picked this hotel. It was really a great choice! So close to my destination. I liked the dinner upstairs and the coffee in the morning. Everyone was friendly and helpful, letting me store my bag and check in my car early. Will stay there again!

The hotel itself was very clean. Beds were very comfy. I was reimbursed.but was over charged for the room and you have to pay for parking 34.00a night 12.00 a day that’s a bit crazy. I have to pay to park at a hotel I’m laying good money for. And it’s not even listed that you have to pay for parking on the web. Night staff didn’t know what she was doing but was left by herself. All staff was very friendly.

Hi Shawna, our parking is competitive with other hotels in the area! As a city grows, we grow with it. All of that being said, while we're sorry to hear you had a rocky start to your stay we're glad things evened out. Hope to see you again in the near future.

Great location, walking distance to UW Madison, lot's of food options nearby. Hotel is tastefully appointed with an "old college dorm" theme, very cute. Coffee shop with some breakfast options. Rooftop bar - nice vibes! There is really no street parking, so you'd have to valet park $34/night. Keep in mind that the valet parking staff does not know how to drive a manual car, I had to park my own (at a discounted price). Overall this a very nice place to stay! My husband and I stayed at this hotel every time we visited our daughter in Madison while she was in college.

We enjoyed our stay in Madison. We were able to find street parking near the hotel, but there is valet available. The amenity fee included drinks at the bar and coffee in the morning. The gym is small, but well equipped. The Peloton membership to use for the bike was a great touch.

This hotel was so fun and unique and the customer service was phenomenal. The valet met me as I arrived and helped me unload my luggage, I was traveling with two cats and they even helped me get them unloaded and taken to the room. The area was so lively and fun, and there’s so much do to and places to eat, I’d love to come back!
