Anchor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! Cozy room and caretaker was so helpful. Very convenient location to town."

Cliff Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The Sailor's Room on the 3rd floor is a great value for a single person. When I arrived, a staff member carried my large suitcase up for me. The room had a small blow dryer, TV, iron & board and a steamer. Wish all the amenities had been disclosed so I could have left my steamer at home. The twin bed was comfortable. There is an outlet by the bed. The closet has a lot of room to hang clothes and store your luggage. There are also several drawers to store your things. There is a chair in the room. The window has a distant view of the water. 3 minute walk to the Nantucket Hotel where the rest of my clan was staying and a short walk to town. It was quiet and another couple I knew was also staying there in a bigger room. The first 2 nights the A/C was on continuously, but I was ok with it because there was an extra blanket in the closet. The bathroom is small, but is ok as long as you are not a very large person. I recommend this room if you want to save money and don't mind being up on the 3rd floor. Not bad for a 255 year old B&B!"
