Periwinkle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience! Stayed for 4 nights and location was close to everything."

Jared Coffin House

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fabulous stay here! The staff was absolutely amazing with a special shout out to Omelia for being so good to us! The breakfast was perfect, we rented bikes and beach chairs complimentary from the front desk and a man was able to help with luggage up and down the stairs. There is a bar and restaurant below “The Tap Room” which made for a very convenient and entertaining end of the night cocktail. Greg and Megan were great bartenders! Our room was clean and every day they organized anything we took off hangers and or tidied up loose clothes. Its proximity to the Main Street is about 4 “baby baby blocks” and just a perfect spot to walk to town and numerous restaurants. I highly recommend this place, we stayed for a week and enjoyed it so much. Thank you to all of the wonderful staff! We had the best time!"

Nantucket Resort Collection

6/10 Okay

"We were booked in a queen suite in the Chapman House on the 3rd floor. Room was over $500 a night and the room was probably no larger than 8x10 sq ft but the bathroom was larger and was OK. From the green floor there are 2 flights of stairs to the 3rd floor for a total of 27 steps. If you’re not in good shape, forget it. Breakfast in the morning was great with a wonderful selection of food. Breakfast is served next door at the Verander. So it’s up and down the stairs for breakfast. No elevators at the Chapman. Overall a nice property with excellent staff. Overpriced?? Definitely."
