Madison Hotel

Madison Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Madison Hotel is easily one of the finest and most enjoyable hotel experiences I have ever had—and I have stayed in many hotels. From the moment I arrived, the staff demonstrated a level of genuine warmth, professionalism and hospitality that is increasingly difficult to find. The property itself is breathtaking. Its beautiful Georgian-style architecture, traditional interiors and extraordinary glass Conservatory give the Madison the gracious character of another era while remaining wonderfully comfortable and inviting. Rod’s Steak & Seafood Grille is equally special: gorgeous wood paneling, leather seating and the warmth of a classic American steakhouse, complemented by terrific service, excellent food and surprisingly reasonable prices. Even the complimentary breakfast is exceptional—they mean a full, beautifully prepared breakfast with an actual assortment of quality food. Room service was prompt, consistently delicious and another example of something the Madison simply does better: whatever you order seems to arrive as the premium version of it. For travelers visiting the area or heading into New York, Convent Station and the Morris & Essex Line are directly across the parking lot. I also saw the care given to the hotel’s wedding events, and the setting is magnificent. Beautiful property, wonderful food and truly outstanding people. The Madison understands hospitality. I cannot recommend it highly enough."
