What a great place to stay in Nantucket! Don’t sleep on the Brass Lantern for your Nantucket vacation. Beautiful rooms and bathrooms. The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable. Shower was stocked with Grown Alchemist Shampoo, conditioner and body wash, bathroom counter stocked with hand wash and body lotion. Their continental breakfast is a perfect start to the day for anyone who would rather not wait in line for the coffee shops. You get a text everyday around 5pm for your next day breakfast choices of bagels, toast, muffins, berries, yogurt, ok, etc. they even had several gluten free options. Water, tea and a coffee available all day. They also have bikes, beach chairs and beach towels to use. Lastly, the location to downtown and the Wave bus route was amazing, and it’s close to the Juice Bar. Highly recommended and the staff is wonderful. Will definitely be lucky to be back and make this trip again!

We were four generations checking in and our grandkids had just arrived from Kenya and we're not feeling great. They were very warmly welcomed and they loved the endless hit chocolate and fresh baked cookies at 5 PM every day. Sharon and Anne Marie were kind, helpful and so sweet to all of us. Sharon helped my 89 year old Mom fund a great history tour that picked her up at the hotel. Having Children's Beach and Playground two blocks away was great. Several us really enjoyed the next door Whaling Museum. Give yourself two hours for that. Restaurant Lola 41 was.great with our big group. We are forever grateful!!.

I really liked this place but I wish they would start breakfast before 8:00. Even 7:30 would be welcome. Or they could put out a few self-serve options (besides apples and clementines) that those who need to get somewhere in the morning, as I did, have less of a rush in the morning. Dry cereal and a pitcher of milk, and some baked goods would do it. Staff is there starting at 7:00, so this seems reasonable.

The Brass Lantern was great. Sharon was wonderful and welcoming. The continental breakfast was wonderful. We appreciated having the home baked foods and warm cookies at 5 pm. Very nice outdoor space! My only comment would be that the rooms in the entry and living rooms could be noisy as people spent time in those rooms; we played cards in the both the dining and living rooms and tried to be quiet but it was very easy to hear a phone call from the rooms.

had to cancel my reservation due to the winds on the island, not able to get a ferry. had a 3 night stay booked, cancel after 1st day.. still had to pay for 3 nights.. I knew I was going to lose the first night, but when the ferry doesnt run and puts you on standby for a whole day, our job had to be cancelled. I was hoping for more accommodations with the hotel.

It’s a very small bed and breakfast and extremely expensive. It is conveniently located. The breakfast is all carbs and no protein. The room and bathroom is super small.
