"This hotel was simply beautiful and just ideal for a lovely visit to Nantucket. From the beginning you felt welcomed and cared for. There were light snacks in the living area and the breakfast items each morning were so appreciated. The staff were ready to assist in any way possible. Sharon, the precious housekeeper, at our location was so friendly and everything looked spotless. The rooms are beautifully decorated with a mix of some traditional or colonial furnishing, with several modern amenities like nice bathroom lighting, comfortable shower, and just a quiet ambiance. This is an older inn that has been extremely well maintained, so no elevators or microwaves in the rooms. It was a great choice for our brief stay in Nantucket. Also, it was within walking distance of many restaurants and shopping. Loved it."

"Great place if you are coming by boat. Located right on the marina in Nantucket. Two minutes from Main St where all the stores and restaurants are located. The hotel provides transportation to town and to the beaches (not to or from the airport). Cottages are tiny but well maintained. By tiny I mean there is not even place for night stands in the bedroom with a queen size bed (only one tiny bed side table) and no bedside light. Sound insulation is terrible - you can hear the people talking walking by and loud noises from the other floor of your house. Most cottages are two story with separate rooms on the first and second floor, and you can hear people on the other floor. Other than that they are cute and centrally located"
