Great location. Lobby is gorgeous, smelled great, sat by fireplace in the late evening. Pool area was relaxing, great drinks at bar and food served was tasty, 4 ft deep pool, also had a hot tub. Great low key vibes from the families with kids so was still able to relax. Clean rooms. Complimentary bikes. We had a room on first floor and could hear a lot of foot traffic overhead but quieted down during over night hours

A nice getaway

Overall very good. I did think it was unusual that upon check in we weren't told the typical: breakfast hours, gym location, wifi.... the staff all were in there 20s... so that was different. Pool area was nice and good service... overall we had a nice stay. Hope this feedback helps so that the welcome part is a bit more formal.

The hotel is impeccably designed and the rooms are spacious to accommodate family stays. The hotel staff did not seem knowledgeable about the hotel itself and were not able to answer basic questions readily; also, no one answers the phone number when calling the main line.

Faraway Martha’s Vineyard is easily in my top 3 hotels I’ve ever stayed at! The entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. The property is absolutely gorgeous every corner is thoughtfully designed, and the scent throughout the hotel is so inviting and refreshing. Everything was spotless, and the attention to detail really stood out. The staff were warm, friendly, and made me feel truly welcome from the moment I arrived. From the cozy yet elegant decor to the little personal touches, you can tell a lot of care goes into making each guest’s stay special. I wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else when I return to Martha’s Vineyard. This place is a true gem and worth every penny!

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room smelled moldy and was very damp. Ceiling was so low it felt like being in a basement. Could touch ceiling with palm of my hand and it was actually coming undone in one spot, was buckling. Realized before booking it was an older building but the noise level was awful. Ground floor is not appropriate for guests in my opinion and not worth the +$629 price. No amenities kit, no simple items like shower caps. No DND for door. Cleaning team left supplies in our room. Staff wasn't trained or on boarded. Didn't know menu items. Coffee bar in morning had cold coffee and never replenished unless you asked. Just messy and not a well run establishment. It's more of an influencer type spot for photo oops of the lobby and beyond that it's shabby chic at best.
