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.

Excellent location, close to the fairy and to town. Good value. We had good weather, so took advantage of sitting in the nice courtyard to relax for a while between activities. The room was a reasonable size and well appointed.

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.

Great, cozy spot.
It was one of the nicest and coziest places we’ve stayed at. The front desk help was exceptional and the location couldn’t have been any better. We will be back soon.
