Charming bed and breakfast with room to improve

This is a very old house converted to a bed and breakfast type accommodation, not a hotel. The finishes were indeed beautifully redone - tile, lighting and furniture all beautiful. The check in was a bit awkward in addition to the “lobby” which was just a living room with a few couples already sipping coffee. The hostess placed us in, arguably, the worst room #102. Right at the base of the stairs and front door, we heard traffic outside and people coming in and out all night. The wood floors upstairs also made every move from the 202 residents very audible. We asked to move rooms at the outset but the hostess said there went any available without “downgrading”. The TV was a nice amenity but didn’t have an adjustable mount so it just faced the wrong way - no way to watch comfortably from the bed. Overall just wasn’t what we expected but wasn’t the worst.

Non existent service, avoid this hotel.

I’ll start with the good: we were able to book this room in Nantucket about 6 weeks out. There’s cute furniture in the hotel and the overall vibe is in line with pictures. When we arrived, there’s no person to greet you and you check in on an iPad. We met a lady who may have been house manager or house keeping or some random woman - not sure, never had an introduction. The room was small but we expected that. The furniture was too big for the room and poorly thought out. Why was there no luggage rack? It’s a small room so having our luggage on floor was annoying. There’s no phone in the room and the number that was given was for the main life house so we had no way of contacting someone for help. We wanted to see if we could upgrade room but not an option. We were told there was no bottled water in the hotel. How is this possible?! The bathroom smelled like mildew. The air conditioning was loud and barely kept the room cool. Overall there was no service. They offer a golden hour drink, or so they said but we asked about it to the lady downstairs and were given a weird look then warm wine in a coup. If you’re coming to Nantucket, try another hotel in this price point.

While this property was clean, and the area convenient, there were many downfalls. As it was originally a house, these rooms are quite small and there are accessibility issues. As well, it is quite noisy with some of the rooms having bathrooms outside their rooms and people going back and forth. Our air conditioning did not work properly the whole trip, and no one was successful at fixing it. The staff, while pleasant, must have been new, and knew relatively nothing about the area. If you are looking for more of a hotel experience, this is not your accommodation. I would not stay here again.

Overall decent stay at the Life House Nantucket. We were placed in a room on the main floor near the entrance which was especially noisy and were woken up every day by other guests (especially someone's screaming baby). The interior design was cool and the bed was comfy but the noise and lack of on-site complimentary bikes (they're $35/day each) means I will likely not be coming back.
