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.

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.

Perfect location. Very close to the Main Street with all the shops. No need to drive a car. The staff working are very friendly. The room I had was older than the photos online. The fridge did not have a handle and was old. The carpet is also old with some stains. I had a second level room and the stairs are not wide. If you are a senior or have kids I won’t recommend the second floor room. I will recommend this Inn and will stay again when visiting Martha’s Vineyard. With parking and a convenient location I can’t ask for anything more.
