My niece got married on Saturday in the Capitol Bldg. It was graduation weekend; we decided at the last minute to see if we could find a room close by instead of driving back to Milwaukee all in the same day. This hotel had rooms available and was within a few blocks walking distance from the Capitol. $169 for 1... More

While the lobby is beautiful even if the decor is a little dated, the rooms were just average. Even while washing my hands, the water temperate fluctuated quite a bit. The bed was uncomfortable and I could feel the springs every time I moved. The tv was maybe 13 inches and was far away from the bed. Also, our room... More

This hotel is a mixed bag. The room is huge, with a separate sitting room and 2 baths, and the view of the lake is excellent. But the corridors and lobby have a slightly dingy, musty feel. There is a business center and free wifi.

The view and location are the only only two excellent characteristics of the hotel that I experienced. For the price I thought the hotel was out of date, beds uncomfortable, loud, and rooms dingy. The volume on the television would not allow to be turned up or down. The parking is free, it is within walking distance to State Street.... More

The Edgewater Hotel sits right on one the two sister lakes in Madison. The location is oustanding if visiting the UW campus or the Capital. It is walking distance to both the campus and the capital as well as the night life, great resturants and State Street (which is the place to be if in Madison). The hotel has a... More

Brilliant location. Excellent service. Breakfasts were awesome. We especially liked the fruit! The bar & live music also good. It seemed to be a little bit like time stood still, but I liked it. The reception were very friendly as we arrived without our cases which were left at Chicago airport - not uncommon apparently!! My first visit to Madison.... More

Spent an evening at Edgewater for my cousins wedding. One thing is certain, a great view from the bar and dining area makes this a nice place to go regardless if one is spending the night! The room was decent, although the emphasis of this location is just that....LOCATION! SInce it was summer, we were in walking distance of everything,... More

Thanksgiving evening. This was our second stay at the Edgewater. My husband relies on a walker to get around and we like to stay here because of the ease of getting from the parking garage to the room. There is an enclosed parking structure adjacent to the entry way. The end parking spots are designated for "handicapped parking." Then it... More

The $ 38.95 Thanksgiving Buffet at the Edgewater hotel in Madison brought back many childhood memories – of frozen pot pies, canned vegetables and chemical whipped topping to name a few. We had a 4:00 seating – but from the looks of the buffet you would have thought we had arrived an hour after closing. Some bins were empty, many... More

If you were any closer you would be IN the lake. Great location and views. We walked to the farmers market. Great location to enjoy the city of Madison. Watched UW crew practice each morning and afternoon. Could hear the water lapping the shore.
