The staff and ambiance were great. The location was wonderful.
The room had no AC and the room did not go under 72 degrees; we were told they were queen beds but they were only Full sized beds.

Thank you for staying with us, and we are glad you enjoyed the decor of the property. It can be challenging during the early spring months to keep the property at a comfortable temperature for all guests and we work to communicate as we coordinate the buildings temperatures. Our apologies for your experience and look forward to a return visit

Amazing boutique themes hotel, a dog owners dream.
The theme was done so well, everything was kept up and the roof top and lobby cafe were adorable. The best thing was you would have no idea it was a pet friendly hotel by the quality and cleanliness of their facilities. Super friendly staff and perfectly located in the middle of town. Walking distance to the lake front and downtown shops and restaurants. Definitely going back!

It's a College Town, deal with it & enjoy the food
Pros:Pro's: The rooms are cute and have the nicest decor. Plenty of pillows (if you're into pillows). TV has oodles of channels to distract young childre
Cons:Cons: Rooms are on the small size, but totally OK for us (family of 3, the 3rd being a toddler). The parking garage is very small, but we managed jus
Location:It's a college town. LOTS of places to eat, drink and run around.
Hotel reviews can be heated, so I'm going to stick with my pro's and con's for this one as well. Con's first.
Cons: Rooms are on the small size, but totally OK for us (family of 3, the 3rd being a toddler). The parking garage is very small, but we managed just fine with our Sub. Forester. As well, being from Chicago, 12 bucks a day for us was a bargain. :) The location is great, but people should know that they are in a college town. Don't expect absolute quiet. We had no issues getting Junior down around 9:30pm. He slept great. Yes, this hotel is under renovations. Oh, one recommendation. More trash cans. Only one we had was the tiny one in the bathroom. Also, those cute windows by the floor are a huge Parental Nightmare.
Pro's: The rooms are cute and have the nicest decor. Plenty of pillows (if you're into pillows). TV has oodles of channels to distract young children when you are trying to get ready. The bathroom is small but has groovy dispensers of shampoo, conditioner and body wash. PLENTY of towels too. The shower is a bit short (I'm a tall chick at 5'9" and it was just high enough to get under) but nice and clean and hot water aplenty.
Yes, this place isn't cheap, but it's clean, has parking and some really friendly staff. The location can't be beat either. So remember a few things.... this is a college town. This leads to LOTS of places to eat but LOTS of noise at times.
A big shot out thank you to the front desk people. They were always frien

Dear R.A.,
Thank you for sharing your impressions of our hotel. I'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay and were able to appreciate our friendly staff and prime location. This great location does give us some limited space downtown, so our rooms and parking are on the smaller side. I hope you'll consider Graduate Madison for any future stays you may have in the city.
Sincerely,

Very cool design with some flaws
Pros:Location, décor, restaurants.
Cons:Noise control and HVAC.
Location:The hotel in located in the middle of UW-Madison, 1 block from State Street.
We were excited to stay at the Graduate in Madison because of our positive experience with the chain. The overall design, decorating and service is terrific, but not without some flaws. Our room thermostat had manual settings for the fan but when in manual, it produced heat. When we opened the windows, the noise from the street was excessive. As luck would have it, our room was also located directly below the restaurant which created continual noise from people moving their chairs.
We did call the front desk to request a room change. The staff did bring us a new key to a different room on a different floor. This room had no problems.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your stay with us. I'm happy to hear that our staff and location made for a pleasant stay. I am sorry to see you experienced some issues with your room. Because our building has a two pipe system, we are only able to have the entire building either on heat or AC at one time. This can create some comfort issues in the shoulder weather seasons, but our maintenance department follows weather changes closely and the front desk is always equipped with either space heaters or fans to control comfort levels. We are also looking at a long term solution to prevent noise from The Madison Blind. I look forward to welcoming you upon your next stay in Madison.

Nice hotel near campus
Nice unique hotel near campus. Rooms were nicely appointed with school theme. Beds were very comfortable. Food in rooftop restaurant/bar was excellent. Rooms seemed over-priced for amenities offered- no pool, no free parking, no breakfast, etc. Lobby and elevators had gross smell- looks like they didn't update when remodeled and it smells like a smoky pub... Kind of a detractor from the newness of everything else.
