We spent the weekend in Madison attending a wedding, and had an excellent experience as guests at Union South. The accommodations were unexpectedly (after all, it's a student union) comfortable and the staff is superb. We had most of our dealings with Andrew whom we found to be exceedingly capable, friendly and professional, as were all the staff.

We have stayed at the Wisconsin Union Hotel many times and for many reasons. The location (center of campus) is ideal, the rooms are always extremely clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the underground parking is a bonus, too! When we know we are visiting Madison, the Union Hotel is always my first reservation choice. Highly recommended!!

On the upper levels of the new Student Union this hotel is a hidden gem. Staff was attentive when the Keurig coffee maker in our room needed replaces. Best bed in the Midwest and high quality pillows made for a great night's sleep.

We stayed two nights for graduation in May 2013. Rooms were spotless, and for being in the middle of campus, were also very quiet. Lots to see and do right in the area and in the union itself. We'll return again for visits to the campus. On, Wisconsin!

The convenience of this on-campus hotel for a graduation event is reason enough to stay here, but the rooms are beautiful, the breakfast spot and wine bar are fun, and the service is personal and accommodating without being intrusive. To top it all off, it's a high-performance ("green") building, outfitted tastefully throughout with evident Badger pride. My only regret is... More

I had picked up my daughter from O'Hare and didn't want to drive back to Green Bay, so I made arrangements to stay at the Union. I'm an Alumna and my daughter is currently a Sophomore at the UW Madison, so I thought it would be fun to stay right on campus. The cost is appropriate for the location especially... More

First time stay at hotel and it was excellent! The decor was very nice, bathroom amenities were great and fun to hang out at the Union. The reviews say it all! Will definitely come back. Excellent location and service. Noise was not an issue for us. Liked the many options we had around us. Even the art gallery was nice.

I recently spent one night here while visiting the U of Wisconsin. I was pleasantly surprised by this remarkably clean, cheerful and comfortable room located right on campus. Bed was a treat, filled with sumptuous pillows. The shower was great -- euro style -- with quality bath products at the ready. If you like red and appreciate the Badgers, you... More

Arriving at the Union South Hotel handling of our reservations and keys was terrific. It made us feel special in such a large place. The rooms were beautifully appointed. With the UW cheer, it made you feel a part of the University right away. It was great to have a food court, and clearly the location of the hotel provided... More
