  • About 4 minutes' drive to Tanger Outlets and around 8 minutes to the boardwalk (property highlights)
  • Nearby attractions include Cape Henlopen State Park and local dining/shopping

Choose the Holiday Inn Express if you want access to Rehoboth-area shopping and parks with a short drive to the beach.

Rooms: suites & towers vs standard branded rooms

Madison Resort Wildwood Crest – Rooms

Madison Resort has over 190–200 rooms across Ocean Tower and Royal Tower, including multiple suites and dog-friendly options.

  • Rooms have private balconies, LED TVs and rainfall showerheads; many rooms allow gull view or pool/beach views

Madison offers a mix of suites and tower choices for beach-facing stays and family groups.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Rehoboth Beach – Rooms

Holiday Inn Express & Suites offers a set of standard room types typical of a select-service IHG property.

  • Room types listed include Standard Room, 2 Queen Beds, 1 King Bed, and several accessible and suite variants
  • 93 air-conditioned rooms with LED TVs, safes, desks and complimentary Wi‑Fi
  • Accessible room options include mobility-access rooms with roll-in showers or accessible bathtubs

Holiday Inn Express is a straightforward, accessible option with standard room choices and chain-level amenities.

Dining & drinks: on-site coastal eateries vs complimentary breakfast

Madison Resort Wildwood Crest – Dining & drinks

Madison Resort emphasizes on-site casual coastal dining with seasonal service and BYOB policies.

  • Vinyl by Madison serves breakfast, lunch and a Sunset Menu for dinner (indoor/outdoor seating); BYOB due to local alcohol rules
  • Madison Rose is the poolside food truck offering breakfast and all-day snacks, and Twist & Spoon is an on-site dessert shop
  • Room service and beach/pool delivery (seasonal) available during venue hours

Madison is better if you want on-site coastal dining steps from the sand, but note limited seasonal hours and BYOB rules.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Rehoboth Beach – Dining & drinks

Holiday Inn Express includes a complimentary buffet breakfast and offers basic on-site conveniences.

  • Complimentary buffet breakfast included for guests (featured amenity)
  • On-site vending, coffee/tea in common areas and gift shop/newsstand

Pools & beach or signature amenity

  • Ocean Pool offers cabanas for rent (Ocean Pool cabanas require renters to be 25+ and wristbands)

  • Indoor pool available (pool hours listed as 9:00 AM–9:00 PM in property notes)
