A wonderful place to stay!

We were so impressed with the attention to detail used when decorating this hotel. It was beautifully done. The room was large and spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was very accommodating and the location was a 5 minute walk to the main downtown area. All in all, it was perfect.

So enjoyed our stay at the ever-so-charming Blue Iris in Nantucket! Needed a bit of help before we even arrived and were taken care of perfectly. We were always greeted by friendly staff coming and going from the house. We stayed in room #5, which was so cute and private. The room was small, but comfortable and the bathroom had plenty of space for 2. We even decided to spend a little extra time there in the afternoons because we liked it so much. Morning service offered coffee…and wine was available in the main common area in the evenings. We walked to breakfast and the shoppes were within a block of our house. We felt safe walking to late dinners which was a nice change of pace and super easy to navigate. The Blue Iris has a few bicycles for guests to enjoy & we rode to bfast one morning. They even offer the motorized-type bicycle as well as cute blue bicycles…both have baskets! Don’t miss the shaded and spacious courtyard area with small tables & comfy seating. You can pick up lunch to eat there or enjoy a drink before heading to dinner. Because The Blue Iris does not have a restaurant/bar on site, so guests may enjoy Sister Ship @The Faraway…which is very close by ;) I booked our room online, which was very easy to do and I rcv’d emais/texts w/ reminders and upcoming travel information when our date to leave was close. The photos on their website are very true representations of what you’ll see…and I think it was even nicer in person. Highly recommend for an A+ stay!

Liked: Amenities
Overall, a solid property whose biggest perks are the included bikes offered with your stay and the breakfast. Room could be much improved by removing or replacing unnecessarily large furniture that caused the room to feel claustrophobic. Front desk service is really hit-or-miss. One attendant was fantastic while another treated us like we were absolutely wasting her time. In general, the stay was just fine but I don’t think I’ll stay here again.

Panagiotis

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The nightly rate of $600 carries a certain level of expectations which sadly, was not met. To start off, your staff seems very unhappy to work for the property. Initially, Casita was quite abrupt and we played along. However, after a few of these interactions, her abruptness got tiring and disruptive. As for the room, although nicely appointed, it did not seem thoroughly cleaned. The floor in the inside of the door was sticky and needed to be properly swept. The toilet seat also felt sticky and not properly sanitized. Further, the bath towels, apart from being quite small, did not seem clean. When we asked for additional towels, we were met with frustration from the staff and we decided to not insist. Sadly, although your property has great potential, the room rate does not match the quality of service and cleanliness (or lack thereof) of the room. We certainly feel that we overpaid.

The Blue Iris is in an ideal location in Nantucket: easy walking distance to everything downtown but on a quiet side for rest and relaxation. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The staff is friendly and professional. They even loan out beach towels and beach chairs - a big plus if you fly to the island!
