Residence Inn by Marriott Madison East

Spacious, All-Suite Comfort Near Madison's Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, the Residence Inn by Marriott Madison East offers apartment-style suites perfect for music fans who want more than just a place to crash. Located just over 7 miles from downtown Madison and the University of Wisconsin campus, you’re close enough to the action but far enough for a peaceful night’s sleep. With free WiFi, full kitchenettes in select rooms, and an indoor pool, this 3-star hotel blends convenience with comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

Just a 10–15 minute drive from downtown venues like the Sylvee or the Capitol Theater, you’ll beat the crowds while enjoying a quieter spot to unwind. Late check-out at 12:00 PM means you can sleep in after a high-energy night. The hotel’s proximity to Dane County Regional Airport (just 1.2 miles away) also makes it super convenient for out-of-towners catching flights home.

Food and Drink Options

Start your day right with a buffet or American breakfast—perfect after a late night.

Several restaurants and fast-casual spots are a short drive or delivery away, making late-night bites hassle-free.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about winding down than partying up, it’s an easy ride to downtown Madison’s lively bar and club scene. Whether you're into local brews or upscale cocktails, options abound just 15 minutes away. Looking to keep it low-key? Grab a drink and kick back in your roomy suite.

What People Say

Areas for Improvement

While the suburban location means more peace and quiet, it also means you’ll need a rideshare or car to get to and from venues and nightlife. Some guests noted that room décor felt a bit dated, but still found the overall experience comfortable and clean.
