Great accommodation but very expensive.
Pros:

Beautiful property. Absolute beachfront.very comfortable and spacious room.

Cons:

Very expensive, so loses out on a value for money basis. Also ridiculous that on top of the top dollar price they charge you $20 for car parking.

The Getaway We Love!
Pros:

My husband and I have made the Madison Beach Hotel our favorite overnight getaway. We steal away for a peaceful afternoon and evening of food, cocktails, and the incredible view. Our most recent stay was made all the more special by the careful attention of Wahied Helmy -- and the entire happy and helpful team. We absolutely will continue to make the trip to Madison to escape and relax! A 10 out of 10!

Great weekend
Pros:

Our stay was made truly special thanks to Wahid H. the director of guest services. Efficient, kind and incredibly responsive he went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. It’s rare to encounter someone who combines professionalism with such genuine hospitality. This is the kind of service that brings guests back again and again.

A wonderful stay
Pros:

A truly five-star experience from start to finish. The waterfront location is stunning, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming the moment you arrive. The staff are genuinely friendly and attentive, making the stay feel effortless. The couples massage with the hot stones at the spa was exceptional. To finish the night, we stopped at the bar where Conrad crafted the perfect hot toddy. It was an unforgettable stay.

Worth the stay
Pros:

Highly recommend this hotel. From the start, the bellman to GM, are amazing! All the staff are polite, kind and over the top helpful. The hospitality is point on!
The food was excellent and the views are amazing. The rooms are clean, well appointed and have amazing views of the sound.

If you are looking for a weekend getaway with a friend or a spouse, I recommend this hotel.
Don’t forget stop and grab a pancake at Cristy’s Madison Restaurant and bar and stop in the local book store.

Peaceful Paradise! Take advantage of every moment paid for, it’s beautiful, even in this cold. Rooms are awesome.
Pros:

Our second visit, won’t be our last. Staff are so friendly, they remembered us. Entire property is exquisite. Little slice of heaven, so peaceful. Yes, it’s kind of expensive. But please go if you can, it’s a beautiful escape from the realities of life.

Unfortunate experience.
Pros:

I booked this hotel for two nights on a non-busy Sunday and Monday night in early December. As soon as I booked this hotel, I was informed by my wife that we already had a non-refundable reservation at another hotel for a brief visit my elderly, declining grandfather in Connecticut, of which I wasn't aware.

This hotel advertised when I booked the rate that it was a free cancellation before 21 days. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not realizing we were already past that 21 day window (by about 12 hours).

Within 15 minutes of booking the reservation, I called the hotel to see if they could help out a loyal Hilton customer. I sat on hold with the reservation booking agent who said he needed to talk to the front desk for over 20 minutes before eventually the line went dead. I never got a call back, but several hours later I received an email saying that my late cancellation was processed but I would be charged a $300+ fee.

Look, I entirely get it: it's on me for booking the reservation, but I tried to cancel the reservation within minutes of booking and the rate was advertised as canceleable 21 days before arrival.

The hotel did nothing wrong per-say, but you can decide for yourself if this is loyal Hilton customer should be treated.

Madison Beach Hotel, a joy.
Pros:

Madison Beach Hotel is what a luxury hotel should be. The staff is excellent. The food is excellent. The room was clean with lovely appointments. Having said all of that, you cannot beat the view or the surrounding town. I almost hate to write this because I do not really want it to be more popular than it already is. Just a wonderful experience in every way.
