FIP is heavenly. The property exceeded my expectations! Lovely small staff team is present and friendly and made for a lovely stay. More importantly, the heated pool was beyond - worth the trip alone!!!
This is a tough place to review, because there is so little hotel / guesthouse type accommodation here - there are very few options. The Madison is a once top notch property now in bad need of renovations and upgrades, it is in a great location and part of the deal is that Fire Island is exclusive and you have to pay for that, but for $700 a night I would expect a lot better on all levels. Maybe that is just the price here generally, clearly a big opportunity locally for any hotel company - and I gather things are happening. Excellent because the competition should raise standards.
My room was lovely, but the exterior areas of the property need better upkeep. Pool was never skimmed or cleaned and deck furniture was covered in pine tree droppings.
I loved my stay here! It's a lovely small guest house with a laid back (but highly professional) style. The heated pool is lovely. It's quiet - no piped music; lots of options for breakfast (which is provided); and then an in-room fridge for your own drinks and small snacks. 1 minute from the Ferry, and 1 minute to the Ocean. It's an old school delight.
Mike is an amazing host. His fast and accurate communication helped make the experience. I will stay at the Madison again. From the location to the savory morning breakfast, this is an amazing place to stay.
The GM and AM were nice. The rooms were not clean at all. The towels had stains on them. And the floor was dirty with sand. My AC barely worked and had mold and rust accumulated on it. I understand that the hotel is able to charge an exorbitant rate in the high season and will probably be booked nonetheless but at least upgrade the rooms and sheets/towels to somewhat match the $$$.
We had such an awesome weekend here. The guesthouse is so nice, neat and organized. Thank you to all the staff for your hospitality. You guys made us feel so welcome.
Great location.
Great floor plan
Great outdoor area.
Cleanliness needs improvement; all ceiling fans, window sills and baseboards need vacuuming.
Select outdooroven outdoor furniture pieces needs to be replaced
Beautiful house. Great location. Breakfast was nice. The floor wasnât very clean. There was loads of dust on the ceiling fan. The room wasnât cleaned at all during our three night stay and we werenât given clean towels and we had to ask for toilet paper. The staff seemed unhappy and they werenât especially friendly apart from the lady.
