"Excellent experience"

The Saddlery Madison Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"True 10/10 on this property! Rooms looked exactly like the pictures, walking distance to great bars/restaurants/the Capital. There was no need to check-in at a desk when you arrive. Our room # and pin was sent to me an hour before check-in time, no need to “run the card for damages” no keycard to have to remember every time you leave the room (or hope it doesn’t deactivate being to close to your phone) The views were amazing. Walking distance to the lake, super clean, up to date decor- Beautiful weekend!! Thanks for having us 😊"
