The Spotlight on MainStay Suites Madison Airport

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from Madison's Music Scene

Modern and practical, MainStay Suites Madison Airport is a 2-star hotel that offers a laid-back, convenient stay just over 8 miles from downtown Madison and the University of Wisconsin. Located in a quiet area on High Crossing Boulevard, it’s a smart base for travelers heading to a show or festival, without the downtown price tag.

With free WiFi, a fitness center, indoor pool, and even rooms with kitchenettes, this hotel has all the essentials for a relaxed stay. Plus, it’s only 2.5 miles from Dane County Regional Airport—perfect for out-of-towners flying in for a big concert weekend.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel strikes a nice balance between convenience and calm. It’s far enough from the downtown buzz to allow for some post-show rest, but still a quick drive or rideshare from major venues like the Monona Terrace or The Sylvee. The 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins a breeze, and the quiet surroundings are ideal after a night of loud music. Free parking and easy highway access are big pluses for road-trippers.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for affordable rooms with space to hang out
  • Solo travelers flying in to see a favorite band
  • Couples wanting a low-key weekend near Madison’s music and arts scene
  • Fans needing a quiet place to recharge after a loud show
  • Budget-conscious concert-goers who still want comfort and amenities

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a buffet or continental breakfast—a nice touch if you're recovering from a late night. There’s also a grill on-site for DIY meals, and select rooms come with full kitchenettes for midnight snacks or pre-show bites. While there’s no restaurant or bar in the hotel, it’s a short drive to several casual dining spots and fast food options.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music or nightlife, it’s a quick trip into downtown Madison where you'll find local bars, music venues, and craft breweries. If you’re looking to keep the night going after a concert, head to East Washington Avenue or near the Capitol Square for plenty of late-night action.

What People Say

Reviews mention the hotel is clean, quiet, and great value for money. Guests appreciate the spacious rooms, especially those with kitchenettes, and the friendly staff. The proximity to the airport and ease of getting around the city are frequently highlighted.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t a luxury or boutique hotel, so don’t expect trendy decor or downtown energy. Some guests note that breakfast options are basic, and because it’s outside the city center, you’ll need a car or rideshare to get to venues or late-night food.

The Bottom Line

If you're in town for a concert and want a budget-friendly, quiet place to crash with solid amenities and easy city access, MainStay Suites Madison Airport is a smart pick.

An affordable option near the...

Liked: I checked in later in the evening. I was a little worried when I didn't see anyone at the front desk from the door, but the gentleman working there was very quick to notice that I had arrived and interrupted his office task to check me in promptly. He was friendly and let me know about all the amenities at the hotel. The cleaning staff was friendly an did a great job of keeping the facilities spotless. I came down late in the morning for breakfast, and there was still a lot of food left and the breakfast area was very well-kept. There was a good assortment of hot and cold items ... eggs, sausage, breads, muffins, cereal, coffee, juice, and a waffle iron! I will stay again.
Disliked: My room had a weird odor. I am not sure what caused it. Pool looked a little small, but it would be adequate for small children.
