Disliked: Cleanliness
So the stay was convenient. I will say it was within walking distance to the ferry, dining options around and a whale museum. Nice little historic area. Safety-wise there were some homeless but people didn’t bother you as much. My room wasn’t cleaned properly, but again it was doable as I tend to wipe things down anyway. There were stains on the curtains and used shower gel still in the shower. The bed was ultra soft but not too bad. The staff was okay. Neyla was very friendly and knowledgeable about area. The other staff was not as friendly or warm. But they did their job nonetheless. The breakfast was continental style but there was a little bakery a block away, where you can get fresh baked goods. I would say the hotel has the location going for them. Being within walking distance to most of what you may need and a ferry ride away from Martha’s Vineyard.

The staff was nice but the room was very dirty…hairs in the sheets, looked like the bed was not cleaned between guests…bathroom hair and floss on floor …there was 1 towel in bathroom, the staff did bring towels right away. Had to walk down 3 flights of stairs with luggage since elevators were not working The area around the hotel is seedy…lots of homeless…the waterfront which is 10-15 min walk is nice near the ferry. I would not call this a boutique hotel…no food service at the hotel restaurant, maybe cause it was a Sunday? lol would find somewhere else to stay

We booked the king room with a harbor view. The room, on the top floor, had a beam ceiling with brick walls, which we appreciated as we enjoy historical inns. The picture window was a plus. The complimentary continental breakfast was plentiful and changed each morning. Staff members were attentive.

There is nothing unique about this property; the lobby is dark and depressing, the rooms are small, and the receptionist said she would make a reservation for the best fish place in town but didn't follow through.
