| - I booked this hotel because I was in a bridesmaid for a wedding taking place at the Monona Terrace. The room I got had two double beds..not queens...which was a surprise to me, since I was sharing the room with 2 other bridesmaids, so it was a tight squeeze. Overall, I have experienced much better with other Hiltons.
First off, our sink didn't drain. Second, parking isn't free. As a guest of the hotel, I would hope that they would provide a place to park my car. It's $13/day per car. We had two cars, so after a 3 night stay....it added up. Third, THE DEMON AIR CONDITIONER. It sounded like a freight train was coming through the wall. It would click on and rattle like nothing I have ever experienced for approximately 30 minutes at a time. Sleep was impossible. Fourth, nothing is complimentary. No free coffee, no free continental breakfast. The only complimentary thing was ice water...which they were out of most of the time. Really? Thanks Hilton.
As for my positive experiences - the view of the lake was beautiful, although I didn't spend much time in the room due to the demon A/C unit. Being connected to the wedding venue was incredibly convenient. Having a full size hairdryer that wasn't connected to the wall really helped get my group ready faster. The rooms were clean, and when we arrived they gave us two bottles of water (which they never replaced though). And, I enjoyed my one copy of the USA today...which I didn't receive each day, because I guess it's "USA this week" at Monona Hilton.
If you are attending a wedding at the Monona Terrace, I would investigate other hotels before committing to the Hilton.
