The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express And Suites Madison Central

Comfort Meets Convenience Near Madison's Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, the Holiday Inn Express And Suites Madison Central offers a laid-back stay just minutes from downtown Madison and key performance venues. With an indoor heated pool, spacious rooms featuring microwaves and fridges, and a complimentary hot breakfast, it’s a solid home base for concert-goers who want comfort without the fuss.
Located just 3.1 miles from downtown and within walking distance of the Alliant Energy Center and scenic Lake Monona, this hotel strikes a great balance between convenience and calm.

Why Concert-goers love it

Thanks to its prime location within 15 minutes' walk of major venues like the Alliant Energy Center, guests can skip the parking hassle and stroll to their shows. Post-concert, the quiet atmosphere and quality soundproofing make it easy to wind down. Late check-in (after 3 PM) helps travelers arriving close to showtime, and the downtown nightlife is just a short ride away if the party continues.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a show together and looking to stay nearby
  • Solo travelers attending a once-in-a-lifetime concert
  • Couples turning a concert into a weekend escape
  • Fans seeking a quieter place to recharge after the crowd
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

  • Complimentary hot breakfast served daily – perfect after a late night
  • Nearby downtown Madison features plenty of walkable dining spots for pre- or post-concert meals
  • Rooms feature microwaves and fridges for snacks and leftovers
  • No on-site restaurant, but delivery and takeout options are plentiful

Nightlife Options

  • A short drive or ride to Madison’s vibrant bar scene downtown
  • Catch live music or grab a late drink at nearby venues
  • The hotel itself is more of a quiet retreat than a party spot – ideal for recharging after the show

What People Say

  • Guests love the clean, spacious rooms with modern amenities
  • Friendly staff and smooth check-in make arrival easy
  • Highly rated for quiet nights and restful sleep after events
  • Many mention the great location for concerts and downtown access

Areas for Improvement

  • The hotel doesn’t have an on-site bar or restaurant, so you’ll need to head out for nightlife or late bites
  • Some guests mention the lack of shuttle service to venues, but rideshares are readily available

The Bottom Line

If you're in town for a concert and want a clean, quiet, and convenient place to stay without breaking the bank, Holiday Inn Express And Suites Madison Central hits the right notes.

Deanne, Ft Atkinson, visiting Breese Stevens Field Mon, 25 June 2018

Will definitely go back. They made the stay there very relaxing.

Liked: We were in town for a concert at Breese Stevens Field and the hotel shuttle took us there and back, which made for less hassle with parking etc. Plus the shuttle is free and will go within a 3 mile radius. We were able to go downtown to Capital Square and wander around without the hassle of parking.

Dean, Hoffman Estates, visiting High Noon Saloon Madison Tue, 17 November 2015

From the friendly greeting to lightning fast check in they were on their A-game. The room was quiet and spotless, also very chic for a mid priced hotel. All the amenities from the flat screen, fridge and weight room were sparkling clean and new. Thanks for a great stay!

Liked: Everything.
Disliked: None.
