I had picked up my daughter from O'Hare and didn't want to drive back to Green Bay, so I made arrangements to stay at the Union. I'm an Alumna and my daughter is currently a Sophomore at the UW Madison, so I thought it would be fun to stay right on campus. The cost is appropriate for the location especially... More

First time stay at hotel and it was excellent! The decor was very nice, bathroom amenities were great and fun to hang out at the Union. The reviews say it all! Will definitely come back. Excellent location and service. Noise was not an issue for us. Liked the many options we had around us. Even the art gallery was nice.

I recently spent one night here while visiting the U of Wisconsin. I was pleasantly surprised by this remarkably clean, cheerful and comfortable room located right on campus. Bed was a treat, filled with sumptuous pillows. The shower was great -- euro style -- with quality bath products at the ready. If you like red and appreciate the Badgers, you... More

Arriving at the Union South Hotel handling of our reservations and keys was terrific. It made us feel special in such a large place. The rooms were beautifully appointed. With the UW cheer, it made you feel a part of the University right away. It was great to have a food court, and clearly the location of the hotel provided... More

I went to go visit my daughter for the night and the room was amazing! We received a suite on the top floor with a view of Camp Randall. The separate bedroom was spacious and very clean. The bathroom was wonderful with a nice, large shower. The robes that came with the room was very nice too. The Badger gear... More

Dear JmsjCollins, I am glad you enjoyed your time at our hotel here at the University of Wisconsin and our Wisconsin themed rooms! Our suites are twice as big as our standard rooms, so it is pleasing to hear that you found the space so accommodating. Also, did you know we sell the ‘On, Wisconsin!’ pillows? You can bring a...

If you are visiting University of Wisconsin Madison, then this is the best hotel choice. The rooms are incredibly clean. The service is excellent. You are walking distance to all campus activities. The parking is clean and safe. I highly recommend this hotel for UW visitors.

Reminds me of European hotels - great pillows, great white noise fan, euro bathroom. Energy saving keyed room power. Friendly staff. on campus. We arrived very late and the front desk person was literally waiting for me - greeted me by name! Loved that the union is right in the lobby and my daughter and I could split paths and... More

This Union Hotel on the University of Madison Campus near Camp Randall Stadium (Home of the Fabulous Badgers) blew my socks off, literally, on the cleanliness and spaciousness of this hotel room. WOW! I had a King size bed, view of Camp Randall, plenty of restaurants, stores, and a coffee shop located onsite along with a multi-level recreational area right... More

Spent three nights here in March of 2013 during a semi-business trip and loved it. I'm a Wisconsin grad and enjoyed being surrounded by so much Badger gear (pillows and photos) and thought the rooms were great -- nicely laid out, comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms with all the necessary amenities. It's unique in that it's obviously the student union, so... More
