We were part of a reunion for four days with a closing dinner in one of the hotel function rooms. Very bad food. We had also eaten in the "Growler" bar and sent one dinner back, so salty it was inedible. We had heard Madison was a real "Foodie" town. Judging from the huge and famous farmers' market on Saturday,... more

Front desk curtious and helpful. Was in town for a college football game meeting friends and family at the hotel. Nice, clean pool. We had a nice room on the executive level which we enjoyed the happy hour and the wonderful breakfast the next morning. Beds were comfortable but pillows were a little short and skimpy. (We joked they were... more

We spent four nights at the Crowne Plaza in east Madison. We checked out the many options and came up with a reasonable rate here, on the representation that it was recently renovated. We were very pleased with the room and the service. The room was attractive and comfortable. We also ordered a take out club sandwich from the restaurant... more

Every single employee we encountered here was friendly and helpful. The wait staff and bar staff at Growlers were, to a person, exceptional. Front desk staff were very helpful and genuinely nice. I really can't say enough good about the people who work here. The hotel itself was perfectly serviceable--not perfect, but very nice and very comfortable. Location is good--chain... more

1 night stopover. Nice treat for a few bucks more after staying at Super 8's, Microtel's etc. Front desk mgr (Gillian, Jillian?? forgive the spelling if you're reading this) upgraded me to the "executive floor" with complimentary breakfast. I'd give this hotel 5 stars just for her friendliness!! I travel extensively and rarely come across someone who is this genuinely... more

We were staying on the second floor, but could here people running up and down the halls, as well as noise... more

Wow, what a change...it's been about a year since I've been to Madison and I then stayed at the Crowne Plaza as well. They have really turned this hotel around! Everything has been renovated in the lobby area and they have a new bar, restaurant and have even added a Starbucks (my favorite)! Their new bar is called Growlers and... more
