Brass Lantern Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Charming Inn with exceptional staff"

Hotel Pippa

10/10 Excellent

"It was our first time visiting Nantucket and Hotel Pippa was a large part of what made the experience so great. Heather greeted us upon our arrival and she was extremely kind and showed us around the property. She also shared some recommendations of what to do in the historical district and beyond. The breakfast offerings were also perfect for what we needed. Whenever we are able to visit Nantucket again, we will definitely be staying at Hotel Pippa. Thank you, Heather!"

Anchor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Our first time stay at Anchor Inn. We have been visiting Nantucket for 30+ years. The last five years we have usually stayed at one of the big resort locations, but, this time we reverted to our preference for smaller boutique hotels and B&B's. We truly enjoyed the Anchor Inn. A small B&B with 7-8 custom rooms. Pricing was great and we checked in early due to our room being avaiable to us at 10 am .. which was great. Nate, the manager greeted us and provided us helpful info during out staff. The room staff was great and staff checked in on us several times to make sure that we had everything we needed. The Anchor Inn is located very conveniently just off the main street and very close to everything. We did have a walk up room on the second floor and the stairs were a bit tight. I would not recommend anyone with mobility challenges.trying to stay on the second on third floor(s) as it's a bit much for anyone with issues. Breakfast was continental (plus); and fine for us; given that we eat light. The property does rent vehicles for getting around the island of Nantucket for an extra fee. Highly recommend the Anchor Inn on Nanticket. Enjoy."

Cliff Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This is a lovely property in a nice neighborhood very close to downtown. Monica was very helpful and had our room ready a little early for us. The location allowed us to walk around downtown without worrying about parking. There was also a lovely breakfast available for the morning. Very nice place and we would stay here again!"
