MADISON BEACH MOTEL, Ocean City

Situated at 9 N Baltimore Ave on 1st Street, the motel is steps from the boardwalk entrance. Ocean City Life-Saving Museum is a 5-minute walk, and the Ocean City Fishing Pier is less than 1 km away. Ocean City Municipal Airport is 6 km away. A city bus stop directly in front of the motel offers US$3 tickets for 24-hour access to the entire Ocean City area. Numerous restaurants, shops, and attractions are within a short stroll, including Tony's Pizza, Soprano's Pizza, Thrasher's French Fries, and a 7-Eleven convenience store next door. The walkable location allows many visitors to park their car for the duration of their stay.

Room sizes are compact, well-suited for short stays or budget-conscious trips. Rooms have no ocean views and no balconies. The property has several buildings: the main 'wave' building tends to have more updated rooms, while the 'octopus' building is adjacent to the 7-Eleven and may experience more noise. Suite options include a separate living area with sofa bed and a terrace with city views. All rooms are non-smoking; smoking is allowed on the shared balcony. Rooms lack coffee pots, but complimentary coffee is available in the lobby 24/7. Storage is limited - no closet, few drawers. Air conditioning is provided by window units that can be loud but effective. Due to thin walls and windows, road-facing rooms can be noisy; light sleepers may consider earplugs or request a room away from Coastal Highway. Housekeeping is available daily on request. Room conditions vary; some have been recently renovated.

For meals, the surrounding area offers a wide variety of dining options within a short walk. Choices include Tony's Pizza, Soprano's Pizza, Thrasher's Famous French Fries, Paul Revere Smorgasbord, South Pole Ice Cream, Golden Plate, Caribbean Pool Bar, and Mug & Mallet. A 7-Eleven is next door for snacks and drinks. The motel's vending machine offers drinks, but no ice machine is available on site (ice can be requested from the front desk).
