Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I’ve just booked my third stay at this property. Well maintained property. Attention to detail. Fantastic views from ocean view rooms. Large rooms. Front desk staff was excellent and Jeremy, the concierge during our visit, sent us a nice surprise for our anniversary. Looking forward to relaxing with a book and a nice cocktail this summer.

Hotel's Favourite
From our first interaction with the front desk staff, we knew we had "arrived". The staff throughout our stay was attentive & laser focused on making our getaway memorable, retaining that nostalgic hospitality much of the hotel industry seems to have misplaced in the last decade or so. No smoke & mirrors here! This place is the real deal. If you don't feel special while at this property, you're stubbornly making an effort not to. Even then, I'll bet they win you over. Both men who worked the front desk each day, the entire restaurant staff, Jeremy the concierge who reaches out to the guests prior to their stays, housekeeping...even the valet who "used to work in law enforcement" all played a role in making us want to return. The sooner, the better. I mean, what's not to love? The resort has an idyllic setting on the CT coast of Long Island Sound in the quaint Seaside town of Madison. Far, or at least seemingly so, from the bustling crowded public beaches, their private beach along a decently sized stretch of private (& public) beach where one can walk the a beautiful shoreline (the pastel reflections of the skies in the water are especially lovely in the early morning and at sunset). They service their beach with chairs, towels, umbrellas, craft cocktails, and foodservice. Their on-site The Wharf restaurant's food selections are to-die-for yummyness at its best which can be enjoyed indoors in an elegant setting or al fresco on their porch seaside. The do have a spa (which we didn't make use of on our 2 night stay) and a small gym with dumbells, a bench, and a few cardio machines (which I did visit...would like to see a universal pully machine added for us gymrats while we're away on holiday). The best bonus surprise of our little sabbatical was their Summer Concert Series. By dumb luck, we happened to book a Thursday to Saturday stay, and it so happens that Thursday nights in the summer, the hotel hosts an pretty respectable music soiree on their lawn. The best advice, reserve a hightop at the rail on the porch for dinner that night while the concert is taking place, eat, drink, & be merry enjoying the show, and then dance the rest of the night away on their lawn as encore time approaches. Definitely a good time. The night we were there The Brothers Doobie played, but they also had a Billy Joel & Linda Ronstadt tribute bands this year, & The Adam Ezra group this year, among others. Loved this property. You will too (or see a doctor).

When i made my booking, my credit card was charged over 700 USD. Even though I booked a cancellable rate and my stay was due to be in August. When my plans changes and I cancelled my booking, they did not refund this incorrect charge. After a month of emails and receiving the same answer: refund will be processed in 7 - 10 days. No apology or explanation as to why I was incorrectly charged. This hotel seems more interested in taking money rather providing even a modicum of customer service.

The staff at the Madison Beach Hotel went above and beyond to truly make our experience the most memorable and enjoyable. At every chance they went the extra mile for my mom and I, whether it was an enthusiastic hello from Matthew as we came down for breakfast or John bringing up our car and giving THE BEST recommendations. We had the pleasure of meeting Wahied the guest services manager, and simply wow! He is the definition of kindness and class! The property is lucky to have him! Our accommodations were extremely comfortable and you simply cannot beat the view anytime of year. The bar staff was hilarious and made some excellent drinks while the kitchen made some of the most delicious dishes! Lastly, the spa services were phenomenal, highly recommend getting a facial! Thank you for making this gift to my mom better than I could have ever expected. We will never forget our incredible first stay at the Madison Beach Hotel and can't wait to return!

Great service at valet and reception. Even though I booked through a third party, they let me apply my HH# for the restaurant credit. Nicely appointed rooms. We had a room in the East Wing, with a balcony that overlooked the water, and a patio door that closed with plantation shutters (so you can sleep to the sound of the ocean). We did eat in the restaurant, which was certainly convenient. I would definitely pick “outdoor” seating, since it’s an enclosed patio overlooking the beach. There were restaurants in town. We followed the advice of an earlier review and had breakfast at Cristy’, just one block up the street and excellent.

My husband and I have been celebrating our September wedding anniversary at the Madison Beach Hotel every year for the past 7 years, and it just keeps getting better. It all began when I spoke to Matthew before we even arrived and asked for an early check-in, if possible. We know it can be tricky, depending on who is arriving/leaving, so we weren’t sure. We arrived, and Robert at Valet Parking graciously ran in to see if we would be checking in early. Matthew came out to greet us on the front porch as we were getting out of car: “Welcome Quinn’s! Happy Anniversary!” Matthew checked us in, and had a bottle of champagne sent to our room and treated us to breakfast the next day, as an anniversary gift. He went above and beyond during our entire stay. Our room was beautiful, and faced the Sound. You can see the sunrise and sunset from the terrace. There was a handwritten note from Jeremy, the concierge, wishing us a Happy Anniversary. Robert at Valet wears many hats, as he set up our chairs and umbrella on the beach each day that we were there. He is so friendly and professional, and we enjoyed our conversations. We ate at The Wharf restaurant both nights—delicious food – I am vegan and was pleasantly accommodated. Don’t miss out on reserving a high-top table that faces the Sound to see the sunset. Shout out to Sherry in housekeeping – she is so accommodating, providing us with whatever provisions we needed, always with a smile. I asked Sherry questions about other rooms available at the Madison Beach Hotel and she graciously shared her knowledge – so helpful for future visits. Sherry said that the staff at the Madison Beach Hotel is like family, and she enjoys being there every day. I enjoyed all of our conversations. When we checked out, Matthew helped us plan our visit for next year. Both Robert and John at valet parking helped us pack our car. The Madison Beach Hotel is a beautiful boutique hotel set right on the Sound. And the staff makes it even more beautiful. Thanks to everyone – see you next year!

My husband and I stayed here in the beginning of September. We checked in and Matthew was who toke care of us. He truly went above and beyond. We were blown away by his hospitality. He also toke care of us beyond just checking in. Our room was on the 4th floor. It had two double beds. The view is OUTSTANDING! Our room was perfectly clean. No complaints about our room. The lounge chairs on the beach with the umbrellas are just perfect. We ate breakfast both days and Branko was our server. He was outstanding. Very attentive, personable, and went above and beyond as well. Because it was after Labor Day the breakfast is limited but it was delicious! I have a gluten allergy and they toke care of me. What a nice surprise! Our last night we ate dinner at the restaurant. It was delicious! Very fresh! And we sat outside and it was beautiful! Hands down this hotel deserves a 5/5. It is truly a stunning property. Outside and inside. All the other staff was very nice and helpful as well. Just Matthew and Branko deserve a special shout out! I would highly recommend his hotel and we will be back! Don’t hesitate! Just book! You will not be disappointed.

We would like to thank the wonderful manager of this hotel named Wahied for making our anniversary very special. The Madison Beach Hotel is a beautiful hotel, but what really made the difference for us was the unusual kindness and hospitality of Wahied. From the beginning of our stay until the end he made sure we were happy and comfortable. He even sent us a special anniversary present!

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights for a romantic get away. The hotel itself is beautiful. The rooms are great. we had a King bed with an electric fireplace and balcony overlooking the coastline. the bed was very comfortable and bathroom was nice. We ate at the restaurant 3 times ( 2 dinners and 1 lunch). All the food was good to excellent: scallops with lemon risotto (good, but very lemony), lobster roll (Excellent!!! Had it all 3 times), seafood casserole (excellent), burrata (excellent), spinach dip (excellent), and caesar salad (excellent). Dessert was good (gelato, lemon sorbet was a bit too tart). the bars were very nice and you can take drinks to the beach or to your room. For the beach, it is very small with about 20 lounge chairs and umbrellas. we typically sat on the grass in some nice wooden lawn chairs. The only complaint, which has nothing to do with the hotel, was that anyone can walk on the beach, which is fine, but people were walking with dogs and the dogs were running loose on the grass and beach and also going to the bathroom everywhere (the owners did not bother to pick up the mess). So, someone on the beach walking in the sand could inadvertently step in it!!! The views from the balcony and restaurants were great. it is close to the clinton outlets and essex. We also had two massages at the hotel spa and they were fantastic and reasonably priced. This is a great place for a short stay, I would highly recommend!!!
