More like an air bnb than a hotel. No concierge or check in. They just five you a door code to access the room. No maid service or fresh towels. We only stayed 2 nights so perhaps that’s the policy but still… the pull out bed in the suite had a terrible mattress - springs poking out. On the bright side, the location is wonderful. Walk to town and all of Edgartown. We don’t spend a lot of time in the room when we travel so overall if was just okay. If you’re looking for something with panache or luxury this isn’t it.

The property is very dated. Doors are squeaky, floor is uneven, furniture is old, mattress is not comfortable. AC is a window unit. On the ground floor you can’t open the shades if you want privacy and room is very small.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
A great option if you are looking for a stay with a kitchen, living room area. New England charm. We had a few bumps with our stay. We were four people and had requested two extra pillows which took a few days to acquire. And unfortunately, the pullout sofa bed is an air mattress which sprung a lake and completely deflated the last night. That was a terrible situation for the two that slept out there. The difficulty is communicating with staff as they ask you to text. Customer service for a hotel really needs to be if not available in person certainly by phone. I’ve stayed here before and would I stay here again… Yes, I would. I’m sure they will make an accommodation for the situation. They’ve been helpful if not delayed so far.
