Top Whaling Museum Hotel Reviews

The Beachside

10/10 Excellent

"👍"

Martin House Inn

8/10 Good

"Property is unattended and there is no method of contacting the Innkeeper other than by mobile phone. There was no TV in our room abut if you wanted to watch TV, there is a screen in the communal area. Room was exceptionally clean and well presented and the bathroom facilities were first class. A self service breakfast was included in the room cost and was more than adequate with a good selection of breads/fruits/pastries/hot & cold drinks. The location is a 15 minute walk from downtown Nantucket or a 15 dollar Uber ride and there are several tourist brochures with local information available in the communal area. Would definitely stay here again when visiting the island."
