I had mixed feelings about my stay at Graduate by Hilton Madison. The location was a highlight, being close to campus and downtown attractions, but the room was quite small and left much to be desired in comfort. The staff were friendly, but some amenities like the breakfast options and parking fees felt overpriced for what I received.

Rooms

5.0

I found the room to be extremely small and cramped, making it uncomfortable to move around, especially with a baby. The bathroom was even tighter (two people couldn't fit!), and the air conditioning wasn't functioning well, preventing the room from cooling down. Additionally, I noticed broken fixtures and a lack of cleanliness in the shower area.

The staff were genuinely nice and willing to help with anything I needed. They made my stay more pleasant and accommodating, which I appreciated. However, my experience with the evening desk clerk was not as good as the daytime staff.

The breakfast options were disappointing and limited—mostly cold cereal without any substantial vegan choices available. Although the café had a nice atmosphere, I was hoping for more varied meal options.

Facilities

While the rooftop bar had a nice view, overall, the hotel's amenities felt outdated. The gym equipment was old, and the only parking option was a pricey valet service.

The hotel's unique collegiate theme and decor made for a fun atmosphere, and I enjoyed the prime location near the university and downtown attractions.

Despite those drawbacks, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, enhancing my overall experience.
