The Madison Concourse Hotel and Governor's Club

The Edgewater
SPA staff is extremely unfriendly. Wanted to relax at the relaxation room, simply was asked to leave stating they are closing . Didn’t even ask my name to see if I was a returning guest. Specifically, staff who was closing SPA on March 24th, 2026. Not going to use that SPA anymore.
