Saddlery is a cozy spot for a visit to downtown Madison with lakeside views. Very walkable to the capital but also a quieter part of the downtown area. Rooms were clean and service was fantastic. There was plenty of cooking utensils in the unit and I was able to cook nice meals in my unit during my stay

I had a wonderful stay in the one-bedroom lake-view suite. The suite was beautiful, spotless, and very well appointed. The kitchen had everything I needed for my stay, and the lake views, especially from the rooftop, were absolutely stunning. The communication from the team was excellent. When I needed to extend my stay by an extra night, they made the process seamless by combining my reservations so I didn't have to check out and move rooms. The check-in instructions and directions for accessing the building and amenities were clear and easy to follow. A couple of minor things to note: the high ceilings add a lot of character to the space, but they don't do much to dampen sound from neighboring units. I could hear heavy footsteps from the guests upstairs and ended up using earplugs at night. Also, the shower didn't get quite as hot as I prefer. Overall, these were small issues compared to the many positives. The location, views, cleanliness, amenities, and outstanding customer service made for a great stay, and I would happily stay here again.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Saddlery. Large room, comfy bed, plenty of towels, great view of the lake, full kitchen. Improvement ideas: since there are no food/beverage options, it would be great if they had a small printout available of the closest grocery stores so guests can stock up on basics. An iron and ironing board would be great to have in the laundry room. The bedroom lighting in my particular room was not bright enough. The website could do a better job of detailing the amenities. Check-in is a little clunky. There seems to be gaps as to when the front desk/office is staffed.
