Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, it’s just minutes from East Towne Mall and other local dining spots. Several fast-casual and sit-down eateries are within walking or short driving distance. No 24/7 room service, but nearby late-night options help fill the gap. Breakfast is available—ideal for those slow-moving mornings after a late night.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, but it’s well-placed if you’re headed out. Downtown Madison’s bars, live music venues, and lounges are just a short drive away. Prefer a low-key vibe? The hotel’s game room and pool table offer a relaxed way to wind down without leaving the property.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the good value, clean rooms, and easy access to both shopping and downtown events. Many highlight the friendly staff and convenience of free parking. The hot tub is often mentioned as a surprising bonus after a long night.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel is a bit dated in terms of decor, and some guests note the hallways could use a refresh. There’s no bar or restaurant on-site, so plan ahead for meals. Still, most say the value outweighs these minor drawbacks.

The Bottom Line

Rodeway Inn & Suites Madison East is a solid, affordable choice for concert-goers who want comfort, convenience, and a quiet place to crash after the show.
