Negative Reviews
negative:
Not as good as a hotel
This is more of a motel than a hotel and as such you have lots of open hallways with direct access to rooms. This may not bother some guests, but others found it a little too open especially when paying premium rates.
negative:
Rooms a little basic
Everything they say will be in the room is in there, but it's still pretty basic. Some guests have found that the beds were uncomfortable, and the pull out sleeper sofa was too old to offer a good night's rest. Not terrible but not the standard you expect for Nantucket.
negative:
Very dated throughout
The place hasn't been updated in a while, and some guests have complained of musty smells in their rooms. The furniture is showing the signs of wear and tear and the bathrooms while clean enough are in need of some work to bring them up to date.
