    We had a wonderful stay at the Brass Lantern Inn for our 20th Anniversary. We stayed in the Brandt Point room. Our room was ready by 1pm on check in day and check in was a breeze. Brant Point is located on the top floor (3rd floor) of the Inn. The stairs leading to this room are VERY steep so please keep this in mind when booking. You will have to carry your bags too. The room itself is tastefully decorated and the bathroom is newly renovated. The view is good but not great. You can see the harbor but a few other homes & trees obstruct a lot of the view. The bathroom is fantastic! We loved the rain shower head and the LED mirror. It has ample room and plenty of storage. They provide an iron, ironing board and hairdryer in the room along with basic toiletries. Breakfast is served daily. You must sign up via text the evening before. They provide you with a link and you make your selections from there. You can take the tray back to your room, eat in the dining room or on the patio. Coffee, hot tea , water and fruit are available all day in the dining room. Fresh baked cookies are also put out in the late afternoon. The Inn is centrally located and all the shops and restaurants are within walking distance. We really enjoyed strolling the beautiful streets of Nantucket. It is also very close to the ferry and Whaling Museum. You can rent bikes and Jeeps near by too. We walked to Brandt Point lighthouse - it was not far at all. We enjoyed our time in Nantucket and would definitely recommend The Brass Lantern Inn. It was our first time staying at a bed and breakfast and we couldn't have been more pleased! The grounds are nice, the rooms are clean and well appointed! We highly recommend getting a Jeep to explore the whole island and all of the lighthouses! Madaket Beach was an amazing place to catch the beautiful sunset!

    The image shows a living room corner with two armchairs, one with a patterned fabric and the other with a plain cushion, positioned on a textured rug. A floor lamp with a yellow shade is beside the patterned armchair, and a small vase with flowers is on the lamp's side table. A landscape painting hangs on the wall above the armchairs. An open doorway reveals a hallway with a wooden sideboard, mirror, and lamps, decorated with flowers.

    First experience at a B&B. Cozy and felt like home. Breakfast had a good selection especially the French Press coffee.

    While on Nantucket I had breakfast at the Brant Point Grill. It is part of the white Elepant. The…read moreGrill is in a he back of the hotel with a permanent canopy. The walls roll up when the weather is nice. It looks out at Nantucket Harbor. I am not sure if I come for the view or food. I'd say both. I arrived before their 8:00 opening. They let me take a seat while they finished setting up. They have whatever you are looking for on their menu. No one leaves hungry. I had the the three egg omelette with peppers, spinach and mushrooms substituting fruit for the hash browns. They brought me my bill without asking. The waiter checked several times to see if I needed anything. He had definitely had some coaching because everything was perfect. A tad bit pricey but that is Nantucket from you. I would return if on the island.

    I was very excited to come to this hotel only because I know it's so damn expensive but there was…read morean exclusive rate for $359 and yes it was off season but I got the basic room tent rate which meant there was a event happening on the main lawn which blocks the view of the lawn and waterview. Well this "tent" ended up being a convention hall. The main building wasn't as grandiose as I thought it would be but nonetheless the hotel has been renovated to contemporary luxury. The hotels and rooms are spread out in the town and separate complexes. The room was comfortable but I wasn't overly wowed because it wasn't luxury. It was very basic for the price on or off season. No wow effect whatsoever. The service was fine and everybody seems to be professional and polite. They have pastries and coffee in the morning and tea in the afternoon In the lobby area. When you walk through the hallways to your room they call the art gallery. My husband won a use of a BMW for 4 hours to see the sites of Nantucket which was nice. The hotel holds your stuff at checkout if you want to go into town and your ferry leaves late. The hotel is near children's Beach and you can walk to the Brant Point lighthouse and Beach. There is a shuttle bus that picks you up from the dock to the hotel. There is a restaurant in the hotel Grant Point grill which is very good but again the ambience was underwhelming inside. There is a pool but it was closed for the season. Elevator was broken too. I would like to experience this hotel without a mammoth structure on the grounds of the hotel. I can't say I was impressed but I don't believe it was worth the price I paid for even off-season. I think that's great that people want to pay a lot of money per night and I don't have a problem with that if I can justify it. The room didn't even come with a full breakfast.

Again, you stepping…read moredownstairs, into this cavernousesque restaurant you can imagine salty whaling captains, peglegs and all, ordering up their ales and bowls of chowder. The staff from the maitre d who has been there for ever to the bartenders and servers, all top notch and friendly. I've dined with reservations for more of the fine dining feel, but also have casually rolled up to the bar and enjoyed the more relaxed vibe, but still great food. Again, Nantucket is expensive, but I find that the meal, service and ambiance warrants the price for a fun and memorable night out. Enjoy the walk back into town and soak in the fresh air!

The rate was spectacular, and the inn was even better, but the restaurant and bar is to die for! 5-star. Where to start? The staff is excellent, professional, exceptionally pleasant, and very accommodating. Our room was huge! Clean. Well stocked. Nice clean bathroom. We had tea in the common room in the afternoon; able to chat with other visitors - relaxing and quite pleasant. The restaurant was to die for. We made our reservation on Resy a week before. Everything was just incredible, starting with a mussel appetizer, cod and polenta/spinach dish, to the chocolate soufflé. The next morning we crossed the street to attend services at Saint Paul's Episcopal. Came back for a quick breakfast down stairs; the coffee was top-shelf, eggs perfectly made, and fresh fruit - can't beat any of that. We left our bag at the Inn, and went in town to shop, sip coffee, and take it all in. Picked up our bag and dropped it off at the Hyline building. Had lunch with local friends at Brant Point. The day, hotel, dinner, church, and lunch was all serendipitous. No negatives. Ship's Inn is one of the absolute best and well known inn and restaurant on the island.

We also changed rooms. The first room had part of the window covering falling off amongst other issues. lol the manager said they had someone coming to fix the window covering (a corner) but c'mon. He could have easily double taped it or done anything to make it look decent. After we left it the next girls in that room said there was no dryer only the attachments and came back out again after the plugs breaker was killed several times. Unfortunately the manager left a young female employee with only a single days training alone. We know this because we helped her find the breaker for the this room that we vacated that the new occupants kept blowing the breaker using the steamer and a curling iron at the same time. The employees are lovely but with management like they have they will never stay. The location is the only redeeming factor. Whomever owns this hotel should be there, train and hire someone who makes this connection with the hotel and their guests. The coffee is terrible and so are the bicycles. They aren't kept up. Also the employees sit at a round table by the door like customers with their laptops and iPads which is as bad as a bar owner sitting at the end of a bar like it's his office. The little room to have a complimentary drink is dark and hot and uncomfortable. Not our kind of place for the price. There was a lively African American woman who help after I fell and soooo gracious. The new girl just two days in also lovely. Work harder to keep them and get rid of your manager who clearly doesn't know or care how to run a hotel.

    so far extreme disappointment we were supposed to met at…read moreferry, we were not.Called hotel and one eventually sent. eventually checked into room which was smaller then any junior suite i have ever seen ( does not even have a closet or a bath) and over 80 degrees. apologies given since AC broken through out the hotel, but they are "working on it" so i guess that's alright mattress does not even cover frame so extreme care needed getting out of bed, painful ankles remind one not to get out of bed casually. upside is it is in Nantucket so we can go elsewhere for a lovely dinner it gets better turns out our suite with 2 rooms and patio (as booked) turns into a small standard room. so short stay made shorter trying to get proper room

It was almost like renting our own little nantucket cottage with a private entrance to our suite from the neighborhood outside. The service was impeccable as well as all the little, decadent, included perks. Every morning there are amazing pastries in the reception area. I got an assortment of danishes, croissants, and muffins thinking to just sample a bit. I ate it ALL. Each room gets their own drip coffee and nespresso machine. In the afternoons they set out cookies, and in the early evenings are wine and cheese. There are also complimentary bicycles, which allowed me the chance to check out quite a few of the local beaches and lighthouses nearby. One afternoon we went to the pool and enjoyed our private cabana and snacks, drinks, and even fresh fruit! They even provided us with sunscreen and signed copies of nantucket-y beach reads. Seriously, they've thought of everything. Such a relaxing vacation and I hope to come back one day!
