| - Looks like I'm going to be a dissenting opinion about the Hilton Garden Inn. I've stayed in Madison plenty of times for work, and overall, this is the nicest hotel that I've stayed at. Pros: staff are very nice and friendly. Hotel has gym, pool, and business center at no additional cost. You know how some hotels have that teeny tiny kiosk to print your boarding pass, and that's all you can do? There are 2 computers hooked up to printers so can you do real tasks like check your email, Yelp, etc. The beds are VERY comfortable. It shocked me how nice they were. Bathrooms have stone countertops and something heating the mirror, so that after a shower your mirror is still usable, not all fogged up. Someone had their thinking hat on. The hotel is walkable to several restaurants & I think they provide room service, but they will also help you order from a nearby restaurant if you arrive late in the evening.
For a hotel this size, they do a really good job with breakfast. It's a buffet with the usual cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, oatmeal, pastries, and hot food. But they really go an extra mile on the eggs, and every egg dish is cooked to order. Whether you want 1 scrambled egg or full omelette, they'll make it for you fresh, give you a table tent number, and then bring it to you.
I have 2 more trips this year to Madison, and hope I'm staying here again!
