For what the cost of the stay was $945.00 to share a hallway bath with no services was crazy.

It is a beautiful property and I would stay again. My only complaints are that the front desk is hard to contact and our room was very noisy making it hard to sleep.

Very subpar room for the price. Bathroom had mold in the tile caulking. Sloped ceiling. Hubby kept bumping his head on it.. found some random hairs in the room. But, bed is very comfortable, so there’s that.

Hotel is the best deal in town! Be prepared for a small room with big furniture. It’s all very nice but definitely tiny. Bathroom is not very well maintained or cleaned but again it’s so tiny it would be a challenge to clean quickly. Bar and restaurant is very nice but doesn’t open until 5 so if you want to spend time enjoying the space during the day BYOB.

We did enjoy our stay here. Excellent location with equally excellent restaurant on site. Beach chairs and towels are available but there is only one umbrella for the hotel. We arrived at 7am to get it when the lobby opens and the young kid who was running the desk showed up about 45min late to work. We left to grab a coffee which was also promised to be available at 7am and by the time we got back at 8am they had given it away. The staff member couldn’t have cared less which I didn’t find accommodating. I also think at $1500 per night they could have a few more umbrellas on hand. That being said the other staff was mostly lovely but a bit more training would help for the younger staff.

Was after 4 for check in. Unexpected resort tax on on Expedia. And got email saying owed more money when I asked what for no details. Hate to feel nickel and dimed. On a more positive note very convenient to everything.

Walkways were completely decorated with many exotic plants and shrubs. The hallways and stairs were air conditioned. The rooms were clean and complete with minibar fridge and bathroom with upscale shower. Bed was comfy. Room rate was the most we’ve ever paid, but no regrets for choosing Faraway Hotel on Nantucket. Walking distance to harbor ferry, restaurants, bars, shops and also to the shuttle for the Cisco brewery.

Expensive hotel with sub par service.
Upon arrival the front desk host was very frazzled and checkin was not seamless. Room cleanliness was not good - dirty floors and bathroom was not cleaned properly. Cable tv was not working. No phone in room to reach front desk.
