It was cleaned, staff were great and welcoming. The free breakfast menu limited. Dinner menu was pricey and we ended up exploring other dining options in the area, which resulted in finding some really good gems.

What made Madison Beach Hotel's beautiful property really stand out for us is its stellar customer service. Every single staff member my H and I encountered was friendly and eager to offer assistance. On our last night we enjoyed a delicious dinner overlooking the Long Island sound and had a waiter who could not have been more gracious. We look forward

Well I requested an ocean view and they told me the hotel was full when it was empty. The parking lot had 8 cars and the restaurant was completely empty.

Thank you for your review and comments, Christine. I'm sorry you were disappointed with your view. Despite appearances, we were indeed sold out last Wednesday. When booking in the future, I think you would be most satisfied with our Sound View rooms in the south wing of the hotel. These rooms face directly out to Long Island Sound. You had booked a Shoreline View room in the east wing. All our rooms, with the exception of the SeaBelle Suite, have ocean views. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again soon.

Sarah

Disliked: Staff & service
For $600 a night you would think they would have really good service however that was not the case. No one offered to carry my bags into the hotel from valet and so i lugged them up the stairs . Front desk staff was barely pleasant and said i had a great room but i had to keep my blinds closed as there was outdoor seating for the restaurant outside of my room and it was extremely busy. Food was mediocre at best. i definitely would not recommend for other travelers.

Weekend getaway! Nice hotel with a resort feel. Staff was attentive, and people were friendly. No night life here, the place is pretty quiet. It gave me a old retirement home vibes. No swimming pool, No microwaves in rooms, No cool music in the Lobby & the gift shop sucks. (Bring your own snacks) No scooter rental but they do offer bikes at no cost. The $20 per person continental breakfast is a joke! I quickly learned everyone eats breakfast at Cristys around the corner, which I HIGHLY recommend!!!! Rooms have private balconies that provide no privacy. Nice breeze but the water smells, the bathrooms are nice but The fridge in my room was broken. Rooms have Keurigs with complementary coffee & tea. The restaurant menu is upscale, I asked for Buffalo wings and was told they don’t sell them. (No matter how ritzy a place is everyone sells wings) Dairy Queen, McDonald’s, Chinese food and pizza places are nearby. DoorDash prices were insane for delivery, the ride through town was short & sweet for half the cost.
