Our family stayed at Staybridge Suites for 18 nights while our water-damaged home was being repaired. The staff were very friendly and attentive-- we arrived fairly late and staff found some cartons of milk for our daughters.

Breakfast was wonderful, each day. The juice choices were orange, apple, cranberry, and V8. Always two choices of hot foods (bacon and eggs, for example). Also each day there was a waffle maker, three types of cold cereal, 2 types of bread (also bagels and English muffins) oatmeal, muffins, coffee cake, boiled eggs, cottage cheese, and a wonderful tropical fruit salad with papaya, mango, and pineapple. 3 types of coffee to choose from, or hot tea, or if one so desired, hot chocolate.

3 nights per week they also offered a supper with free drinks (beer, wine, and juice or milk for the kiddies).

Everything was very clean. The pool was lovely, as was the whirlpool. No shortage of towels.

There is a room where there are puzzles and games for guests to use, also, which was great for our kids.

The housekeeping staff was wonderful. With 2 kids, things can get messy. There was always a fun surprise left by the housekeeping staff, such as one kid's stuffed bunny left peeking out of a dresser drawer, or another kid's stuffed bear propped up on its elbow as though it was surveying the room, or another time the stuffed animals left posed in a circle on the tidily-made bed as though they were sitting having a good chat. Our kids loved it. So did we.

On the nights where there was no dinner served by Staybridge, we mostly cooked in, using the en-suite kitchenette. There was everything we could possibly need-- pots and pans, a measuring cup, pyrex bowl, pyrex storage containers, spoons, knives, forks, spatula, corkscrew, etc. Also dish soap, and dishwasher detergent.

This is my home away from home while traveling for work. You can't ask for a better price, better people and superior service. This Staybridge is unmatched!!!!! Easy access to Freeways, Highways and Dane County Airport. Need a ride, they have you covered. Just say the place and they will get you there.

I give this hotel 5 stars because you can't beat what you get for the rate. We stayed Dec. 31, 2011 in a 2 bedroom suite. The pool is regular size and the deck is nice and large to accomodate a group of people. Nice fitness facility. The breakfast was what you would expect. The bed was not the most comfortable, I could feel the springs through the top and it was hard. Rooms have a full size fridge, micro, coffee maker, 2 burners (no oven), dishwasher and enough dishes, pots, pans, and utensils to make a meal. However, there is no ice maker so if you want ice for your drinks be prepared to wait to make your own or bring a bag.

My husband's company chose to put us up at Staybridge Madison East and what a great choice!! We were there for the better part of 6 months and loved it! The staff was amazing. Everyone was kind and helpful. Any issue (and there were very few) was handled promptly and with as little inconvenience as possible. The breakfast and suppers were very good and the dining staff is on top of things. The rooms were always cleaned very well. They smelled wonderful and all things were kept neat and well taken care of. The manager stopped to visit with us most mornings at breakfast and was more than willing to go out of his way if there was a need. When we switched to a bigger room the staff went out of their way to make our transition smooth. We are so thankful to them all as they were the key to our amazing stay. As a mother of 4 boys and the wife of a traveling technician I would recommend this hotel to EVERYONE. Go prepared to enjoy your stay and to be treated like family :)
