The Saddlery Madison Downtown

Incredibly clean. The only negative was the paper thin walls. You could hear ever step in the unit next door along with the crying baby all night long.

Great property - very trendy! Desk staff was helpful when I called! Check in was a breeze. Construction around that area is horrendous with roads, sidewalks torn up and dust everywhere. Nothing you can do about that let’s just hope the project is completed soon.

Excellent and organized check-in procedures powered by technology; super kind and helpful lobby staff.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. The location was perfect, it was a central location . The office staff was friendly, however the office is closed on the weekend . The in unit washer and dryer were a plus. We also had a unit that faced the lake so that was a plus. My friends also loved the rooftop. The only downside is when we came home at 2:00am and someone was outside doing crack but that’s not the venues fault.

We had a beautiful view of the lake through gorgeous large windows! Perfectly located close to the capital and many great places just a short walk away.

new renovated apartment. Great location and lake views. Walkable distance to downtown.

I’ve been staying at the Saddlery for 2 weeks now and there are definitely some pros and cons: PROS: -location: although it’s not quite at the center of downtown (i.e. where all the State Street action is), it’s still downtown! You’re right next to lake Monona, which is nice. -weekly housekeeping: this is included in your stay, which seems like a no-brainer for standard hotel stays, but if you’re treating it like more of an “apart-hotel” and staying long-term like I am, it’s a huge plus -water, electricity, and internet are included: again, no-brainer for hotel stays, but if you’re staying long-term, this is a huge convenience -the building is secure: keyless entry with 4 digit PINs for entry into the building and your unit -the building is brand new: from an aesthetics and hygiene standpoint, this is also nice because everything looks and feels brand new; they did an amazing job with decor -the staff is super friendly and helpful CONS: -it seems like there isn’t really a “screening” process for guests (so in this regard, it’s more of like a hotel vs an apartment), which means your neighbors could be annoying college students -the walls are paper thin: you can hear EVERYTHING – people putting their dishes down, walking around, etc. This likely won’t bother you if you’re staying 1 or 2 nights, but if you’re staying long-term, this could be a deal-breaker, especially when your neighbors don’t respect quiet hours, are annoying college students/younger, and have a big group of people over often :/ -lack of storage space: again, if you’re staying a few nights, you can get by with little closet/storage space – if you’re staying long-term, you might be living out of your suitcases until you find something more permanent So, lots of pros – but the cons are BIG cons and could be a dealbreaker for you, depending on your individual preferences (and how quickly you get annoyed with noises from your neighbors). The cons aren’t as big of a deal if you need a furnished place downtown for a few nights…but I couldn’t/wouldn’t stay here for more than 2 months (currently, I’m even struggling to make it that far).

Beautiful loft style condo with gorgeous view of lake! Great location to restaurants, shopping, walkable to State street, UW Terrace.

This was the first weekend the Saddlery was open. I had to program both TV’s and my HVAC unit did not work. All new build minor issues. Despite this I will definitely stay there again if I come to Madison.
