Graduate by Hilton Madison is centrally located at the heart of the UW Madison campus, offering excellent downtown walkability. The vibe is loved by guests, with very good, clean rooms. The exceptional, phenomenal, and friendly staff receives the biggest compliments for being welcoming, polite, and helpful, with service that exceeds every expectation. The hotel features a coffee shop in the building and a bar on the 7th floor that is excellent and better than expected. Valet parking is extremely efficient and professional. While generally positive, one guest unfortunately encountered bedbugs in a room, which the staff addressed promptly with a room change, refund, and exterminators. The location is good for visiting Madison and UW Madison, close to restaurants and the Memorial Union, though it might be slightly more pricey than hotels outside of downtown.
We have stayed at The Graduate Madison many times, but I wanted to give a special shout out to Roxanne Abraham at the front desk. She went above and beyond to help me with something this morning. She was kind and patient. Thanks again for a great visit!
