Guest Reviews
- Charlotte (10/5): - Perfect comfortable & convenient. Even had beach towels !
- Kimberly (10/5): - The internet was very reliable and the breakfast was continental. This location was very convenient to restaurants and shops. The walk to the ferry is about 20 minutes and the neighborhood was very safe at night. Dave was a great host. Thank you.
- Melanie (10/5): Mother Daughter take on Nantucket - Mother daughter first time trip to Nantucket. Great location. Convenient to restaurants and shopping. We walked almost everywhere. Rented bikes to ride to the beach. Compliments light breakfast. Very clean. Friendly, helpful staff. Would stay again.
- Whitley (10/5): - Staying at The Martin Inn was nothing short of magical, and I cannot say enough about how perfect my experience was. From the moment I arrived, I felt at home—and was immediately welcomed with warm, freshly baked cookies courtesy of David, the innkeeper. That small gesture set the tone for the entire stay: thoughtful, personal. The inn itself is stunning, but what really makes it exceptional is the people. David is truly the heart and soul of The Martin Inn. He went above and beyond in every way, from anticipating needs before I had to ask, to offering incredible local recommendations, to creating an atmosphere that felt both luxurious and welcoming. The housekeeping team also deserves recognition—they were kind, attentive, and clearly hardworking, keeping everything spotless and comfortable throughout my stay. Every morning, breakfast was a highlight—The amenities were top-notch, but the backyard stole my heart: a cozy fire pit for evenings, an outdoor shower that felt wonderfully refreshing, and plenty of chairs to relax and take in the Nantucket charm. It was the perfect balance of relaxation and luxury. The Martin Inn is, without question, a true gem on Nantucket. But what makes it unforgettable is the team behind it—especially David.Quite frankly, he is the reason I can’t wait to come back, and I hope ownership recognizes what an irreplaceable asset they have in him. I would recommend The Martin Inn to anyone, and I’m already counting down the days until my return!
- Andrea (10/5): - Fantastic attention to detail. Very helpful
- Jackie (10/5): - Staff was extremely helpful and kind, there was a mixup through the third party we booked through and the staff was able to help fix the problem fast and efficiently. The rooms are newly updated clean and quiet. Great proximity to downtown area!
- Michelle (10/5): - A lovely inn just a short walk from town.
- Megan (10/5): - David was an amazing host. This is the place to book if you like a home away from home.
- Kyle (4/5): - Old tiny rooms. So old doors to bathroom and closet don’t even close properly they are so misaligned. Room is hot even on very mild day, could not keep room cool.
- maurizio (10/5): - Very convenient
- Heather (10/5): - Lovely clean bedroom. Overall a lovely, quiet, lowkey place and process. Just perfect for what we were looking for. Calm, quiet vibes. We met Dave when we arrived half an hour early and our room was ready.
- Ingrid (8/5): - Pros: Great location, friendly staff, nicely decorated, breakfast included. Cons: Tiny bathroom, fireplace not usable, doors to room and bathroom not closing properly.
- elektra (10/5): - I had a wonderful time staying here. The inn provided thoughtful amenities, including bathrobes, shampoo and conditioner, daily housekeeping, and a consistently restocked fridge. The continental breakfast and complimentary cookies were definite highlights! A special shoutout to David, the innkeeper—he was incredibly diligent and quick to communicate. Highly recommend!
- LIndsay (10/5): - Very pretty property- clean and comfortable!
- Patrick (10/5): - All good so far 😎😎
- wren (10/5): warm and cozy - The location was an easy walk to and from the ferry for me, and I found the room cozy and well equipped. It was a blustery March day and I was happy for the excellent baseboard heating as well.
- Cathleen (8/5): - The Martin house was clean and the room was spacious and well decorated. I particularly liked the walk-in shower. Unfortunately, the room I chose did not have a television (but it is quite possible that others on the property do have one). I was a bit dissapointed in the breakfast. It was more of a continental breakfast and the pastry the second day was a bit stale. Other than that, my stay was enjoyable.
- JOHN (10/5): - Great place to stay, as always clean quiet and safe!!! Host David takes care of your every question, request and/or concern!!!
- Allan (10/5): - 😊
- Denise (10/5): - Super cute and comfy Amazing sheets and David was a rock star🙏
- Kelly (10/5): - Loved the place! The staff was amazing and so helpful. The breakfast was great and the warm cookies and coffee were even better.
- Patrick (8/5): Nice property overall - Great location and property. Quaint room and we loved sitting on the porch and in the yard. We’d definitely stay again. The only complaints are minor -the manager seemed grumpy and obtuse and the complimentary breakfast was low budget. Fewer higher quality ingredients would be better than a wide variety of breakfast junk food.
- Timothy (6/5): - I had the smallest room in the property, which was fine since it was the least expensive and that’s what I wanted, but the single bed mattress was cur in such a way that I rolled out of the bed two times onto the floor. And there was no television. Even a small TV would have at least been appreciated. Had we had bad weather or I didn’t feel well. Other than my iPhone, I had no way to know what was going on in the world nor the forecasted weather. This was a great inconvenience. Television sets are so inexpensive now , I wish kind of amazed. I was going to take the ferry across to Cape Cod and I had no idea what weather to expect.
- Philip (6/5): - The room was average. No TV; Bathroom was okay ...
- Lisa (10/5): - Wonderful stay! Great location and nice staff.
- Ryan (6/5): - Hotel was nice, but not worth the money. They advertise that they have a widows walk on the roof, in reality it’s been closed for years. The photographs show many lush gardens, they have not been kept to that level. There’s nothing really wrong with the hotel, but it’s not worth the money they’re charging. For that price point you would be much better off at 21 Broad Street.
- Cristina (10/5): - Location was perfect
- Matt (10/5): - Great place with a great room and bed. Perfect breakfast bar with items.
- Verified traveler (4/5): A room too small - Made mistake booking too small of a room. Got no help from the hotel
- Laura (10/5): AMAZING! - We loved our stay here! We will definitely be back!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Not Great - We chose the Martian House over other similar properties because it was acquired by the Greydon House. The property has been refurbished but that is where it ends. Rooms are damp, bathroom so small that the door must be opened to use the toilet (in a larger sized room!), disgusting beach chairs that were rusting, a strange breakfast (pop tarts and various boxed baked goods), and a virtually MIA inn keeper that we never saw. Be warned that the stairs from the street to the front door and the internal staircases are extremely steep, plus you will be carrying your own bags up/down (no staff on property other than housekeeping who were so lovely!).
- Tim (6/5): - Nice Inn close to town. Not a great value for the dollar but probably average for Nantucket. Would not recommend to anyone with mobility issues as rooms require a walk upstairs and exterior stairs pretty steep. Comfortable bedding and decor.
- jimmy (8/5): - Nice only could had better breakfast They have continental breakfast that could be improved otherwise nice to be there
- Kathleen (10/5): Girls weekend - Everyone was very friendly. A real friendly group. Couples, friends. Very nice place staff very helpful and friendly. Very nice breakfast every morning and cookies in the late afternoon
- Steve (10/5): - Staff fantastic. Room was very clean and warm. I would thoroughly recommend the hotel
- david (10/5): - The Inn was quaint, cozy room, nice breakfast area with lit fireplace, coffee always available. Breakfast of tasty pastries, and home made cookies in the evening. The innkeeper was pleasant,very helpful, friendly, and provided info about the island. The Inn was a 10 minute walk from the ferry, and 5 minutes from downtown. Nice to not have to deal with our car.
- Adam (10/5): - Perfect location. Clean. Friendly.
- Jaffia (10/5): - Great location close to the downtown area. Warm and welcoming accommodations by Petecia the inn keeper. She had great restaurant recommendations and sightseeing tours offered on the island. Thoughtful details such as an adequate yet beautiful displayed complimentary breakfast. In the evening you can expect teas and cookies after a long day of sightseeing. A definite recommendation for solo or small group travel.
- Kimberley (6/5): - Quaint property, gorgeous bedding and towels compromised shower room, disappointing breakfast
- Mark S (10/5): - Great
- Bob (10/5): - What a wonderful overnight stay ! The staff / the accommodations / the location are perfect to create a memorable visit to Nantucket…
- Suzanne (10/5): - Beautiful clean room. Comfortable bed. Located across the street from Seasons (wonderful restaurant). Great fruit at breakfast.
- Paola (10/5): - Great stay, very clean property.
- Julia L (8/5): - This is the second time i have stayed at this propedfy. In the year between, new ownership has occurred. It will be interesting to see if the changes being proposed are feasible in a community which closely regulates historical buildings.
- Mark (10/5): - Really enjoyed the relaxed feeling of the Inn. Easy walk to town.
- LARAINE (10/5): - Lovely stay at the Martin House. Single room was very cozy had everything I needed. The bathrooms are modern and clean.
- Abigail (10/5): - We LOVED our stay. The innkeeper, Cindy, was so kind and gracious. She had cookies laid out each afternoon and a delicious breakfast each morning. The Inn was quiet and nice. We did the shared bathroom option, and it was always clean. Walking distance from steps beach and then downtown. We loved our stay! Would highly recommend it.
- Jennifer (10/5): - The innkeeper was great, the breakfast was delicious and the location perfect!
- John (8/5): - Nice property, however the roof deck was missing and I did not see any "snacks" like cheese and crackers put out in the evening. The morning breakfast is continental but a nice spread. The location is great to walk to town for shopping and dining!
- Jay (10/5): - Very quaint historical home, every room is different. Beautifully appointed and well maintained. Convenient central location. Would stay again if we had the opportunity.
- Karen (10/5): - Cindy was so accommodating and easy to work with.
- Linyan (8/5): - Pretty close to everywhere
- Sandra (10/5): Charming place with the island vibe - This is a very charming place to stay. We loved the look and feel. The breakfast is amazing! The room was spacious and comfy. The location is good, convenient to downtown. I didn’t love sharing a bathroom, but we made it work. The hostess makes sure there are always fresh towels and it’s kept neat.
- Scott (10/5): - Quiet and enjoyable!
- Temeko (10/5): - The staff was superb and very inviting, accommodating, and friendly. The rooms were very quaint, stoic, and well designed with plenty of space. The only minor issue are the steep steps to enter the inn as you must be very careful both walking up and down the stairs.
- Clare (8/5): - Inn was quaint and pleasant. Enjoyed breakfasts with other guests. Did not like having to carry luggage to third floor or small size of bathroom.
- Sue (10/5): Charming - Great location, private bath, very charming and social place.
- Carol (10/5): - It was very nice
- Marla (8/5): - Common area was amazing! Complimentary breakfast was superb
- Isabel (10/5): - Great location, far enough from the town center to be quiet but close enough for an easy stroll. The continental breakfast was nice. Plenty of pastries, fruit, granola, etc. Hot chocolate was available for those who don’t drink coffee or tea. Cookies are set out in the afternoon. You must enjoy a sunrise from the widow’s walk. Looking out over the lighthouse and Harbor was breathtaking. I stayed in Room 1 on the first floor right next to the front door. The bedroom door could be a little more sturdy with a more secure lock and sound proofing around the edges. The posting said there was onsite parking and this is not the case. Not a huge deal for off season travelers but was inconvenient when I decided to rent a car for one day to explore the entire island. This was my first time visiting Nantucket and I can’t wait to go back. If Martin House Inn is available, I would gladly stay there again.
- Maxine (10/5): - The property location was perfect for exploring without a vehicle. The innkeeper Cindy was very attentive to our needs.
- ming (10/5): - great service!
- Scott (10/5): - Staff was great. A quaint wonderful place to stay.
- Laura (10/5): - Such friendly people and what a great location!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Need to make some adjustments… - Positive side: pretty house with good location, nice room, good breakfast, excellent housekeeping/chamber servers. Down side: massive construction outside the house on the road until June (obviously not their fault, but it is there and quite loud and unappealing!) Worst part is they did not make it clear in any way, shape or form (other than some purportedly hidden “link” in the webpage) that our room had a shared bathroom! Only found out when we got there since the confirmation itself had no indication AT ALL. We were told this “uncalibrated expectation” has been a problem in the past (including with the prior owners of the inn), so why this has not been properly dealt with in some way is beyond me; it isn’t rocket science. Having a very long history in coming to Nantucket (I actually helped manage one years ago and owned a home there at one point — I know the island well!), the expectation is that your room WILL have a bathroom UNLESS TOLD OTHERWISE! To say we were told because there was some obscure link on a webpage is ridiculous, so we had to pay extra once we got there for an en suite bedroom. It may not be an intended bait-and-switch (and I don’t believe it is) but it WILL come across that way — intended or not — if it isn’t handled properly.
- Michael (10/5): - Would stay there again unique experience
- Emily (10/5): Amazing Stay! - An absolutely amazing stay! From the breakfasts each morning to chatting with fellow guests on the porch. This is truly the quintessential B&B experience. The Innkeeper also was so attentive and knowledgeable about Nantucket! The location also can't get any better as you are a short scenic walk from the action of the town. My next trip to Nantucket will surely include a stat at the Martin House Inn!
- Karen (10/5): - One of the best weekend trips we’ve had. The fireplace was so romantic. We had our own porch for morning coffee and fresh air. Shower with robes was wonderful. What an adventurous house to explore all the nooks and crannies. I felt like a kid crawling up to a treehouse to the widows walk. Beautiful views and gardens. The innkeeper was so attentive to anything we needed.
- christy (8/5): - We stayed in room 2. Room was nice & comfortable. We were offered an upgrade which was nice - we however chose to stay in room we booked. Breakfast was good. Location was great, but parking was a bit tricky & couldn't imagine trying to park when it's not off season. Recommend going up to the widows walk - although you will have to climb up stairs that are more like a ladder to get up there so might be difficult for some.
- Amy (10/5): - historic feel, beautiful interior. Shower pressure was strong!
- Sarah (8/5): - We were just on the island for an overnight and wanted something close to town where we could crash. Martin House checked all the boxes in that regard AND the extra added bonus was the Widow's Walk! Exceptional views of the harbor. Will stay again
- David (8/5): - Inn keeper seemed very annoyed when guests would ask for various things; ie 2 guests checked in late one afternoon and just wanted some hot tea. They were told that coffee is served in the am, so the Inn keeper Cindy seemed annoyed when she had to go make them some upon their arrival. In the am, coffee wasn't served until 7:30am which I think is a bit late. Self-serve coffee and tea should be put out at 6:30/7 for the early risers. Overall the property was very clean and quaint - good location to walking back to the Main St area. The room we had with 2 twin beds was SMALL - not even barely enough room to even get around the beds. Bathroom was shared out in the hallway, which wasn't in any of the info when we booked. I would give this stay a 2.5.
- Julia L (10/5): - Lovely period house with beautifully renovated features. A self serve breakfast was not expected but certainly acceptable. We were on the 3rd floor which was somewhat challenging but doable. Management and staff were very helpful and pleasant.
- Ron (10/5): - An amazing place to stay. Great location. Extremely clean and friendly. They make you feel like you’re at home.
- Ann (8/5): - The Martin House Inn has pros and cons, as all inns do. The linens were great, the bed very comfortable and the room was spacious enough. The decor is dated and a little tired. A few updates (paint, carpet) would make a big difference. Our room was expertly cleaned, but the porch needed a good power washing. Breakfast was simple, but delicious and the complimentary pumpkin chocolate chip cookies that are put out in the afternoon are addictive!
- Cathy (6/5): - I liked the location of Inn.. we did not like the beds. Need to be replaced. Also we were on the third floor and it got extremely warm even with wall AC units. The continental breakfast was good.
- Stacy (10/5): - Martin House Inn is an oasis in Nantucket with a kind proprietor who spoils guests with the best homemade baked good and beautiful breakfasts!
- Mary Alison (8/5): - The inn is beautiful and the innkeeper was lovely. Tue A/C was great, the beds comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. had left a necklace on my bed and realized after leaving. I called the innkeeper to ask if they had found the necklace. When I collected my bags before my ferry.,the innkeeper had found it.
- Mary (10/5): - This is a wonderful inn! Fresh baked goodies for breakfast, extremely clean, and be sure to get up onto the widow’s walk for a spectacular sunset view!
- Lorena (10/5): - Location was excellent to and from the Ferry, to dining and shopping even easier. Friendly atmosphere, great reception with a smile. Coming from one of the vacation capitols of the world myself, I would highly recommend Martin House for a relaxing stay. Lorena D
- Deborah (10/5): - Everyone was very friendly. We were well taken care of. Breakfast was a nice treat every morning. My only complaint was the lack of shelves in the restroom for toiletries.
- Kathryn (10/5): - The location of this property was fantastic! Also, Cindy the inn-keeper was fantastic. She was friendly, helpful, and made the most delicious breakfast and afternoon cookies.
- Debra (8/5): - We were not aware that the room we booked had a shared bathroom as it was not well noted on the reservation site. Fortunately the host was able to move us to another room, but be aware.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Decent stay. Was a good price/ location for Memorial Day weekend. The bed was small (not a queen sized bed), wasn’t a huge deal but noting that to set everyone’s expectations.
- Kristie (4/5): - The bed and bedding was superb. The Accomodations were initially so poor, room was not fit for occupancy - tiny, without room for a chair, its was truly awful. Similar to the beautiful bedding there was a plush lovely robe available for my use- unfortunately the Robe had long thick black hair entrapped in the fabric interior of the robe- nice idea but not a great visual. I slept less than 3 hours the first night and had a full schedule the following day. This was the first vacation I've had in 3 years and one of the last I'll have with my son before he goes off to college. The second night we were moved to larger suite. We had initially been told we would be paying for the room so I cancelled activities to accommodate the cost. When we arrived back at the Inn that evening I was informed we would not be charged but I had already canceled our plans and we were leaving the next day. The Inn Keeper, "Cindy" blamed the prior owner for taking misleading photographs and Expedia for posting them and not clearly stating that our original room had no private bathroom. We shared one bathroom with a family of 5. As an Executive Director working in the hospitality and healthcare industry I know how greatly standards vary. I accept full responsibility for my choice to book our stay at The Martin House Inn. As a mother, and traveler, seeking respite from the stressors of work and opportunity for time and connection with my family - this circumstance was an impediment.
- Peter (10/5): Gratitude - Cindi and her staff are excellent. The scones were unbelievable. Cleanliness near perfect, despite a seasonal encounter with a pill 🐜 bug
- Scott (10/5): - Amazing place to stay on the island. Looking forward to staying there again
- Daniel (8/5): - Enjoyed the rooftop deck for sunset. We were surprised upon check-in to find out that we would have a shared bathroom. We must have overlooked this on the booking but it should really be made very very clear because this was not a welcome surprise and would have affected our choice of accommodation. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was tasty. Location was great.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Serene Stay - The innkeeper, Claire was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable about the island. She also prepared a tasty light breakfast. The inn was very comfortable but disappointed our room was not tidied up the second day. Bed was not made, trash was not removed. Covid rules excluded housekeeping service. The room was large and comfortable…bath towels extra large and nice quality. We would definitely recommend this Inn. Be prepared to share a bathroom. Least desirable part of our stay. Lucky it was only one of a two day stay. Great location, quick walk to town, restaurants, whaling museum, bike rentals and shops.
- Lynn (8/5): - Beautiful historic house. Not happy we shared a bathroom with 3 other rooms. No tv in room was disappointing. We enjoy watching in the am for local news and weather.
- Madalene (10/5): - Incredible accommodations….I slept almost 9 hours!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - First off Claire who runs the property is amazing! When we arrived she showed us around the property and the indoor and outdoor spaces, the outdoor seating area in the garden is great for breakfast or a post beach cocktail. Our room was very comfortable and the location couldn't be beat, I cant wait to come back.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A beautiful historic inn with an amazing and friendly staff. Central to everything. The baked goods they make are heavenly.
- Douglas (8/5): Wedding Guest - The innkeeper is personable and helpful. She maintained contact with me during an airline related delayed arrival. Lovely public areas including large furnished porch. My third floor room was under the eaves and small, but it was comfortable. The four third floor rooms share a common bathroom.
- Jeffrey (10/5): A very happy guest - This was a wonderful place to stay. The manager made a great breakfast and cookies during the day. This is a very well cared for antique home. My room was lovely and the bed was amazing. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A lovely stay and really enjoyed both the inn and how great of a host Claire was! Will definitely be back.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location close to restaurants shops etc
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A lovely classic Nantucket inn easy walking distance from town but off the beaten path enough to be very quiet & peaceful. Proprietor was very pleasant and helpful. Will definitely stay again!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Host: Claire was fantastic. The breakfast treats were amazing. Great atmosphere and close to everything... but, yet, just far enough away from Main Street (quiet). Definitely will be going back and are planning our next trip down soon.
- Russ (6/5): - Nice on the outside but worn and dated on the inside.
