Loved the service and the relaxing and beautiful resort with history!

On a country road only a 5-minute drive from the fascinating town of Essex on the mouth of the Connecticut River, this is a traditional, handsome setting with excellent service and food. We stayed in one of the newer outer buildings, and our room was spacious and nicely updated. Service was outstanding. Outer buildings an ADA challenge but not the older central inn. We had a great stay.

The Captain Stannard house is a true gem in Westbrook. There are many restaurants, shops, parks, and beaches close by. The property has a private yard and a large rear porch for relaxation. My room was impeccably clean and spacious for being the smallest one in the house. Dianne was incredibly sweet and went out of her way to help all the guests.

So clean and beautiful really enjoy ..

friendly staff and welcome on arrival, tastefully decorated. comfortable and relaxed. Breakfast could be improved, A place of this caliber, I would expect fresh bread and toast, sweet butter, eggs to order, rather than the packaged food service microwave prepared hash browns, sausage slice and packaged mini quiche tarts. The caned tangerine accented with mint was refreshing. good coffee.

I had read the property reviews before arriving. They weren’t great, so I was a bit worried. All in all, though, we did not find any concerns. Updates would be a bonus for sure. The lobby did have a musty smell, but nowhere else that we went in the building. The breakfast was easy and good. Our room was very clean and comfortable.

This is a perfectly located hidden gem in a quaint beach town. The service and accommodations were exceptional. Highly recommended!

great coffee machine and coffee mugs in room, not paper cups and crappy kuerig pods

Breakfast should be more robust off season. Hefty price just for a room

Property was clean and the staff was excellent.

The room was just what I need for my stay.

For the price everything met expectations. Would stay again.

I enjoyed my stay from the moment I met the valet attendant! Check in was easy and efficient. Bar staff and room service were extraordinary! I highly recommend the Madison Beach Motel to everyone!

Room was expansive, well appointed and clean, with comfortable bed and accessories. Great location too.
