The Madison Inn is located only two blocks from the ferry. We walked the to the Inn with no problems. We arrived about 2:00 pm and stored are bags while we waited for the room. Check in went smooth. We booked room # 15. This a great room away from the other rooms. It was clean and large. The room... more

A great place to stay. No bad points other than perhaps a little fridge being available in each of the rooms during the summer. more

I just returned from a night stay at the Madison Hotel in Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard. I would definitely recommend this place to friends. My mother and I went to the Vineyard without any confirmed reservations ( I am 33 yrs old, mother 62yrs old) Nina at the front desk was incredibly helpful and sweet. We had asked to see... more

This was our first trip to Martha's Vineyard and thanks to the friendly, helpful staff and the homey atmosphere at the Madison Inn we will be going back again and again. From the coffee and pastry on the patio in the morning to the fresh baked chocolate chip cookies in the cozy parlor, everyting was superb. They anticipate every need... more

Booked 1 night, room 11, after reading the many positive reviews on Tripadvisor. Not to be snotty, but I really wonder what accomodation all these positive reviewers are used to staying in? This is basic , barebones, no frills accomodation, made to look cosy on its web site. Location: about the only postive thing about this place. Close to ferry... more

We just got back from a short stay at the Madison Inn in Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard. What a pleasant surprise!!!! Right from the early planning stages for this trip, I spoke with Nina on the telephone...she was extremely pleasant and helpful in aiding us in choosing the right place for us. When we arrived, we met Nina at... more

The location is great (1 minute from the ferry, the harbor, and Circuit Ave.) and staff (are very nice, they help with restaurant suggestions, directions, and supplying beach coolers, towels, and chairs....they even called me to let me know that I left my I Pod charger, and are going to mail it to me) so if I were reviewing just... more

We appreciate that this guest noted the Madison Inn's terrific in-town location, very helpful staff and complimentary beach towels, chairs and coolers. However, it does sound as if they were booked into one of our smaller rooms and that they were displeased with the size of the room. The Madison Inn has 14 rooms; 7 of them are in the...

We just stayed at the Madison Inn in Oak Bluffs and to sum it up: We were very disappointed by this B&B and found the value was miserable. To begin with, the start was not very welcoming. We arrived at 2 p.m. at a very hot and humid day and were really longing for a refreshing shower. The girl at... more

We are very sorry that this guest was disappointed with their stay with us. As you Trip Advisor fans can see, we are a highly rated hotel here in Oak Bluffs and we'd like to take the opportunity to respond to this guests comments. This guest is mistaken that their room was ready prior to 3:00 pm. Our check-out time...

Have stayed in many B&Bs/ Inns, but never in one that had so much to offer -- Umbrellas, lobster crackers, coolers and towels you can take to the beach, free coffee every morning and much more. The A/C was great! Very helpful staff, ESPECIALLY BLANCHE!!! The woman is AMAZING!!!! She knows everything you could want to know about the island.... more

madison inn is great as a launching point to explore all of Martha's Vineyard. I stated in room 14, which I believe is the most inexpensive room. If you are not going to spend a lot of time in your room, this is the perfect room. My only complaint was that the room was a bit damp- there was no... more

Room #14 has never had a bathroom exhaust fan and we are grateful to this guest for letting us know that humidity was a problem for them. The air conditioner has probably always done a great job of dehumidifying the air in the room and only during an especially warm and humid stretch of weather was there a problem. We...
