Fairfield Inn & Suites Madison South

Stayed for 2 nights for a family function in Madison. Chose this Marriott because it had "free" parking and it was convenient to the family events. The breakfast was very basic compared to a Fairfield Inn in St. College, PA. Was disappointed with the hotel room: 1) when the bathroom light was turned on the noisy fan turned on; and 2) not enough lights in the room. Overall, the best thing was not having to pay for parking.

I was skeptical about this hotel because it is much more reasonably priced than other hotels in the area. But it was great. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, and kind staff. Shasta in particular was fabulous (she went above and beyond to get us the room type we needed and to deliver a roll-away). We loved the convenient location - we walked, bussed, and did Bcycle to the UW campus (all without needing to incur UW parking ramp costs).

Enjoyed my brief stay. Room was clean, bed was comfy, staff was friendly. The included breakfast had lots of options and was plentiful. Only minor negatives - the fridge stopped working after the first day, but wasn't any emergency (reported when I checked out) and the phone seemed to be only partially functional. Couldn't call the front desk or retrieve messages, but again, not major. When I asked about an airport shuttle, they gave me the number for the Sheraton next door, whom they apparently have an agreement with, and I was sorted.

I stayed here with friends for a concert. It’s rated as a two star hotel but it is one or less. Our room had ants crawling on the walls of the bathroom, stained bed sheets, wifi/tv did not work, open wires too. A random cord tucked in the carpet and found dog food on the ground. The manager did refund the 50 dollar tip they added on at check in. I wasn’t aware of this either. We reread our confirmation email multiple times and no “50 dollar tip” was ever mentioned or in our receipt break down. Glad we did get compensation for the dirty room but would never recommend

I traveled to Madison to visit my new grandchild. The hotel was very pleasant. It was clean and in good repair. Not fancy but just right for me. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The room was quiet and the breakfast was good with some eggs, bacon and pastries. Highly recommend.

We stayed here on our way west as it was a convenient stop. The location is great, near the campus and in a quiet area. Was just a short drive from the Olbrich Botanical Gardens which we were visiting the next day. Staff was very helpful on check in. Since we had reservations, the only suggestion I would make (since the day was quite warm) would be to have turned on the ac and refrigerator in our room. Took a while to cool down. I also mentioned to them on check out that the ac was blowing some sort of black soot (possible cleaning of filter needed). We enjoyed our included breakfast. In the hotel information, it mentioned free afternoon drinks and finger food. When I enquired, they said this was not currently happening due to covid concerns. Wasn't a deal breaker but would have been nice to know. Other hotels are still doing this but have small, wrapped items. Would definitely stay here again if visiting area locations.
