The Saddlery was an excellent place for my family to stay while we were in Madison. The hotel is ideal for families with young children with multiple bedrooms and a nice common area with great views of Lake Monona. The room was clean with a well supplied kitchen and washer/dryer. The location is in a very walkable part of town, minutes from restaurants, the state capitol, and access to city bus lines. Highly recommended!

Great loft style suite experience! Clean
And very well outfitted kitchen and we had a
Washer and dryer although we did not need it
For our 2 night stay. Location was great for walking
Around the capital. Short driving distance to the
UW Badger campus as well! It’s a self service
Checkin which can be efficient yet challenging when
You are trying to park and cannot access your parking
Until you check in! Would absolutely recommend staying here and
Ask for a lake view room if possible! We faced the street yet still enjoyed
Our stay with lots of space!!!

Excellent location & beautiful view. The building has been renovated well. The layout is appreciated compared to a hotel room. The noise travels between walls & floors/ceilings, which is difficult for light sleepers. The rooms are windowless, so if you like it dark this is your place. The beds were firm & comfortable. The kitchen well stocked & easy to utilize. We tried to use the washer /dryer, but the dryer malfunctioned & the staff were lacking in responsiveness. They could have allowed us to use the dryer in lower level free of charge, but only called a maintenance man who took too long to arrive as we were checking out. Overall a good place to stay.

More like an apartment than a hotel room, but beautiful and full of character. No food amenities—a restaurant on site or close by and a coffee shop on site would be great.

had a wonderful stay in the one-bedroom lake-view suite at The Saddlery. The suite was beautiful, spotless, and very well appointed. The kitchen had everything I needed for my stay, and the lake views (especially from the rooftop) were absolutely stunning.

The communication from the team was excellent. When I needed to extend my stay by an extra night, they made the process seamless by combining my reservations so I didn't have to check out and move rooms. The check-in instructions and directions for accessing the building and amenities were clear and easy to follow.

A couple of minor things to note: the high ceilings add a lot of character to the space, but they don't do much to dampen sound from neighboring units. I could hear heavy footsteps from the guests upstairs and ended up using earplugs at night. Also, the shower didn't get quite as hot as I prefer.

Overall, these were small issues compared to the many positives. The location, views, cleanliness, amenities, and outstanding customer service made for a great stay, and I would happily stay here again.

Great room and location. Loved the rooftop patio. But extremely loud noises from the room above us starting at 6 am. It sounded like furniture moving and scraping against the floor for a couple of hours. Old building. My guess is there isn't much noise control between floors. I would never stay in that specific room again.

The room was very dark. They could use a nightlight in the bathroom to make it easier to find your way around. The darkness is not a bad thing. It’s just hard to see in the middle of the night. Other than that, everything was great.

Expedia and/or the Saddlery did not make it clear that this \"hotel\" has no staff and I would need a code to enter the property. That was on p. 4 or so of the confirmation email that I printed out. I arrived and did not know how to get in. Luckily it was on the email account that I have on my phone.
Otherwise it was very nice for a great price.

Deeply disappointed in our stay at the Saddlery. I booked this particular venue as the ratings seemed to be beaming with positive feedback.

Horrible stay.

-No parking even though we were told we could pay for a spot, I inquired within a reasonable timeframe and was told it was “sold out”…so we parked down the street and had to walk.

-Leaking shower and flooded the floor any time it was used.

-HARD and uncomfortable bed. While it was clean - I’d rather sleep on a log. It would be softer.

Price point doesn’t match. I paid almost $300 for ONE night. Ridiculous.

Great location, super clean apartments, everything new. Walking distance to everything. Our experience would have been great if there had not been a bachelorette group on our floor. They apparently did not read the rules for quiet hours as they were yelling at 2 and 4 am. The acoustics of the building is horrible. Bring ear plugs!

The Saddlery was a unique experience being a bit of a historical building. We stayed in the 2 bedroom Executive Loft with a kitchen and spacious sitting area. It had a wonderful view of the lake, was very quiet. Close to a few nice amenities and downtown. Wished we could stay longer.

The Saddlery in Madison was a great place to stay. It was clean, spacious, and in a great location. The price was just right also. Only complaint was the noise, you can hear everything going around you in the other units. Walls are thin or it travels through the air vents. I thought people were in my unit when I opened our door it was so bad. Besides that we love it.

Best hotel I’ve ever stayed in… it’s more of an overnight studio apartment. This was a great place to stay because we went to a show downtown and only had to walk a few blocks. Comfy beds, pillows, and it was very clean and well decorated. Highly recommend!

We had a great 2-night stay at the Saddlery when dropping off our Freshman at U-Madison. We had a lovely view of Lake Monona, and our 2-bedroom unit was great for the three of us, plus extra space to stash all of our kiddo's dorm stuff for the night (didn't want to leave it in the car). Everything seemed new, and we appreciated the kitchen for breakfast! I will say that neither of our bedrooms had windows - they were on the interior of the unit. But the bedrooms had ceiling fans so that helped (we are a windows open every night kind of family), and the unit had A/C so for most it won't be an issue. There is a cute roof-top patio for the whole building, also with a killer lake view. Beds were comfy, the unit was super clean. A minor bathroom sink drain issue was resolved immediately. It's a little off the beaten path if you are spending a lot of time at the University, but we like to walk, took the bus a bit, and appreciated the extra space and that view when we returned to the unit. Lots of great restaurants nearby as well.
