Madison Beach Motel

This was actually my first time ever staying at a motel, and while the experience had some bright spots, it unfortunately fell short on cleanliness. You truly cannot beat the location it is right next to the beach and just steps away from the boardwalk, making it super convenient. The staff were fantastic: incredibly kind, professional, and took the time to explain everything in great detail. It’s also in a very family-friendly, safe area.

However, the room itself needed a lot of attention. The rooms are very small and compact, the AC unit had a noticeable odor (we had to buy Febreze plug-ins to help), and unfortunately, the cleanliness was lacking. The floors were dirty, requiring me to wipe them down as much as possible, and there was mold forming in the corner of the shower. We ended up having to Lysol and wipe everything down ourselves.

Aside from the location and staff, the room condition made it a tough stay. Deep cleaning, mold remediation, and servicing the AC units would make a massive difference for future guests.

Rooms are small, but we didn’t come to stay in the room. Clean, no funky odors. It was nice to not have carpeted floors, but with that came tracking sand in. (Simple fix bought a cheap broom). Parking was tight but do able! Super close to two convenient stores, board walk and beach across the street! Restaurants and shops galore within walking distance! Pool was nice as well! Sam was super helpful and friendly! My only “complaint” there was no where to hang wet towels…not a deal breaker but would have been convenient to have! Would stay here again!

Staff was friendly, check in was easy and this motel is fairly priced BUT cleanliness could definitely be better. Floors were dirty and had obvious dirt from not being mopped. The bedding and towels also smell funny, almost like a moldy smell. Asked for another set of towels and those ones smelled worse. Other than the lack of cleanliness (which is a very important part) my stay was great.
