The Edgewater Hotel

Great hotel with free summer music concerts outside!

STAY AWAY!!! I REPEAT STAY AWAY!!! this hotel is a complete scam in Madison!!! You will pay for your room! Then be charged for incidentals and no matter what happens once you leave the hotel they take a portion of your deposit of incidentals which is around 25$ of the deposit of incidentals of what you put in even if youve already paid and secured your room and hotel via apps or in person...Even If you leave the room in absolute perfect condition!! I came here for a hotel on a trip and you cant even use the gym unless you also pay money to be a member (gym closes very early and if you want to ice skate they have select times and pay)...They tried to scam me asking me to park there and I asked how much parking was since I only needed 8 hours there and they told me $32 just to park for 8 hours...(I used streat parking which cost me $10) (they tried not to tell me the price, just to park until I asked how much the parking price was....parking in front line summer fest garages or even state fair is much much cheaper... to not tell me 32$ for 8 hours of parking alone is blatent disrespect especially when they take an additional $25 from you as incidentals just for staying at the hotel....an absolute scam!!!! The people at the front desk even struggled speaking english) This place tries to steal as much money as they can from you...Their drinks are over priced...the hotel is over priced and they will find any means to grab as much cash out of you as they can on your way out...STAY AWAY!!!

**updated review** Exact response from hotel management, “You are correct that your Lakeshore King-size bedded room in Langdon Tower looks different from most in our inventory (most of the rooms, which you correctly saw on our website, are in Wisconsin Tower, and do not extend beyond floor 4), I would like to assure you we had good intentions while assigning it to you.” Buyer beware, it’s common practice for this hotel to advertise a room and to give their customers something totally different with the same name. Why wouldn’t they just call the rooms that look different something else? To take advantage of the customer so they could charge the same amount for both yet give a much lower quality? We were offered a refund for our breakfast ($80) and the resort fee ($24). Stayed there Thursday night in June and reserved the Lakeshore King. In the pictures attached you will see what the website describes at Lakefront King, notice the floor to ceiling windows and view ….be prepared to not have a room even REMOTELY resembling the photos. I can understand some differences but holy cow not even close. On top of that the brag about the view and it being blocked by the large amount of dead bugs and spiderwebs was ridiculous. Staff was nice and breakfast was really good, which is why we did give it three stars.

Did not stay in her room but went to a function there. The place was awesome.

Nothing better than spending a weekend at a 5 star hotel. May 30th was our 34th wedding anniversary and we went to the Edgewater Hotel in Madison, WI. The vibe is so cool and easy there that you don't want to check-out. How lucky we were to be there this weekend because Friday night was concert night and "Feed the Dog" band was excellent. I'm not alone when I tell you at least 200 folks were out there with us. The bartenders, Kevin, Christian, and Brandon were busy all day and night. I know this because at 12:40 am Saturday I ordered 2 drinks for my wife and before the bar closed at 1:00 am. The entire staff at Edgewater are 5 star winners. Can't wait to return there!

Very classy place. Perfect location, clean rooms, nice spa, great food and friendly staff.

The Skybar venue was fantastic. The views, room, food and service were flawless and very private.

Very nice. Stag friendly and helpful. We'll stay here again.
