Not sure why anyone would stay here. It's a cold hard place and could double as a prision or hospital. It's sterile cement walls are not welcoming. Built on the cheap no doubt. Terrible views. You are across from the stadium but that's it. Stay in town. Don't stay here.

Thank you for reviewing us again. I’m sorry to hear that you did not like our style or location. Although HotelRED’s style and location are certainly not for everyone, many people enjoy what HotelRED has to offer. In particular I enjoy all of the natural light throughout the building, the modern and clean feel of the rooms and the individualized... More

Every time I go to Madison I stay at HotelRED. It's a wonderfully contemporary hotel (think concrete) with modern design throughout. The rooms are always clean and comfortable, and the staff is always attentive and friendly. Bonus points for Aveda products and an excellent spa shower. HotelRED has a great bar, too, complete with bartenders who make excellent recommendations for... More

Really contemporary, new, fresh vibe to the design of the hotel. I personally really like that style so it was pretty cool. Concrete floors throughout your room and the entire hotel. Might feel a bit cold to some but if you know what you're getting into and like that style, you'll definitely appreciate this place. Room was really nice and... More

Thank you very much for your kind review of HotelRED. We are very appreciative. It sounds like you loved the location. We are big fans of our neighborhood. With the shopping and restaurants on Monroe and Regent, plus Camp Randall directly across the street, we are very lucky. I can assure you there is nothing like a game day. It’s... More

My wife and I stayed at HotelRed the beginning of April of this year as we were headed to Madison for a concert. We typically stay at hotels on the west side of town since there is more selection. The only other time we have stayed anywhere near downtown is at Hotel Ruby Marie and the reason was stayed there... More

We were pleased to return to Madison's truly unique boutique hotel. In reading others' reviews, it's important to understand that this is a contemporary property with loft-like features...concrete floors, high ceilings, sleek furnishings , contemporary design and most importantly, plush and luxurious amenities. Fabulous bedding, robes, spa-shower, large rooms with generous sitting areas, and on the fourth floor, spacious balconies.... More

I stayed here while relocating to the Madison area and could not have asked for a better experience. The hotel is very modern, reminds me of south beach with the décor and amenities. The hotel staff is extremely outgoing and friendly and always eager to help. The rooms are clean and the shower is amazing. The central location made it... More

Stayed at HotelRED on a Saturday night in February 2013 with an online coupon site offer. Check-in was quick and efficient. The front desk staff was very service-oriented. Even offered us a cocktail! Our room was spectacular. Very modern decor, which I like. The bathroom had a spa-type shower, fluffy robes and Aveda products (my favorite)! Really liked that the... More

I picked the Hotel Red hoping for an upscale hotel for my wife to recover from a minor surgery while I worked in town for the weekend. It is billed as a Boutique Hotel, but, "Boutique" must mean renovated warehouse. What they don't tell you is that the hotel doesn't have carpet in the rooms, and as anybody that lives... More

It's great to see that HotelRED has gotten some very positive reviews-it gives me hope for the rest of my stay. That said, I've only been here for a couple of hours and have gotten off to a pretty rough start. When I arrived, I attempted to check in and was told there was no reservation.

First of all the staff was the best part of our experience at this hotel! They were warm, friendly and handled our needs happily and quickly. The hotel itself is not my style. Too much concrete so it felt sterile and cold. I love a cozy warm bathroom when I shower and with the bathroom ceiling open to the main... More
