An amazing stay!

Our visit was very short on Martha's Vineyard, only two days and one night for a family of 4. We were very pleased with our stay at Madison Inn. It had a feeling of a bed and breakfast place. It was a cozy, clean, and centrally located inn with an amazing staff. The staff were attentive, helpful, and made us feel welcome. Everything was within a walking distance and easy to explore from where we stayed. Highly recommend this place.

The Madison is in a perfect location in Oak Bluffs. Walk to anything; food, ferry, beach. The rooms are beautiful and the staff is terrific. There is no on site parking, you have to rely on timing and a bit of luck to find a spot in the municipal lots or on street parking in the area around the Oak Bluffs Police Station. But I had no problem with it at all. Once I was parked I was able to walk to anything quickly and easily. I'll be staying there again!

Close to everything. Easy walk from the boat. Great bike storage. No parking - not a problem in October, which is sort of off-season. May be an issue in-season.

I typically don't take the time to write reviews, but the owner of this Inn was so nice, helpful and definitely involved in her business in a good way that made me feel we owe her a good review. The Inn was smaller than I expected, the parking is a little issue, but the clean comfortable room, and the very helpful and pleasant staff is what stands out and are superior to any expectations. I would definitely stay there again.

Our room was the cleanest, best smelling room I’ve ever stayed in. I was not sure when I booked but it was so close to the ferry thought it was a good choice. I had low expectations, but was very happy with choice. Would highly recommend and would definitely rebook there again.

I tremendously enjoyed my stay at the Madison Inn! My room was clean, beautiful, and well-appointed with everything I needed. The coffee bar had fruit and breakfast snack bars, as well as freshly baked pumpkin bead each morning. Staff was friendly and helpful. The location in Oak Bluffs was ideal, and it was easy to explore the town on foot from this location.

The photo doesn't do it justice

First off, the photo on Hotels.com is not what the Madison Inn looks like - they should get a new photo. This photo makes it look like it's a B&B in a residential area, when in fact it's in the heart of the 'downtown' core of Oak Bluffs, sort of hidden behind tall shrubs and wedged between a restaurant and another business. But.....all that aside, this place was awesome! I would absolutely stay here again. Very clean, very friendly, very accommodating, and the location can't be beat.

Highly recommend!! Loved loved our stay!

I’m very happy with our stay at the Madison Inn. First of all it’s in a great location, it’s clean and a very beautiful place. Second, the hospitality was outstanding. We were treated so well by staff members. There was a place for us to leave our bikes and moped overnight! We were allowed to leave our stuff in a room near the front desk even after we checked out. This was extremely convenient for us as we wanted to enjoy our day fully without worrying about our luggage. Again I can’t stress enough how nice the staff members were and how accommodating they were. Thank you for that! It really made our trip even more amazing.

Romantic getaway

It was just an overnight with my wife to get away. We have been so busy and needed a break. This meet our needs perfectly. The inn was quaint and comfortable, located right in the heart of Oak Bluffs. Within walking distance of everything there. A great romantic getaway.
