As a "steak man" I have been dismayed with the quality, portion size, and price of a steak dinner at many restaurants in southern Connecticut. While some restaurants are charging $40 for a 6 oz steak, the Dolly Madison serves up a 16 oz steak at considerably less price. Ate there again this weekend and the steak was cooked perfectly,...

My husband and I were on a weekend getaway. I grew up in CT and had moved away and not been back for about 17 years for a minivacation. We were traveling along the coast and looking for a place to enjoy some seafood in a quiet off the beaten path location. We happened about Dolly's on our way to... More

The other reviews are right. This place is dirty and disgusting and a complete rip off. I dont care about the location. It was downright gross. My husband woke up to the ceiling leaking on his head. There was a used condom wrapper in the nightstand. And there was stubble all over the bathroom sink--not from my husband. It clearly... More

If you want a nice small Beach within walking distance, friendly bar, good food, and a place to sleep,,, you will find this a perfect spot.. We recently had to attend a family funeral and wanted to spend the night close by. Dolly's had room available, but with all the bad reviews, I was very skeptical. The room was clean,... More

Without question the WORST place I've ever stayed or eaten. It's dirty, unmaintained and bug infested. Madison is a lovely, wonderful town, but avoid this hovel at all cost! The food is worse.

I have traveled all over the world and have stayed at B&B's and Inn many times, over the 15 years that my friend and I have travled together this is the worst place and the biggest rip off of them all. There is not even a real reception area, you check in at the bar. Yes the people were nice,... More

What we booked: 1 night in a rennovated room with 2 queen size beds for $170 (with tax $190). We were told it was over the bar, but mostly over the restaurant and noise shouldn't be a problem in that room...By the way, their web site quoted $150.00 for the room... What we got: 1 HORRENDOUS night above the bar... More

My family and I have been going to "The Dolly" since I was a small child (about 40 years ago). It was always dependable as a rustic, comfortable get-away by the CT shoreline, in walking distance to a beautiful cove to swim in and explore tidal pools. My husband and I began to take our son there on our tripsback... More

My wife and two children and my parents just spent last weekend at the Dolly Madison. It is one of those experiences that you will laugh at later on. I had reserved the 3 rooms (Rm 2 and 3 and 4) all together several months ago. The girl who took the reservation was very inexperiences but since I had called... More
