HOYDA, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall a very comfortable room. The air conditioner made too much noise and so that was a negative.
Carmen, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect, charming stay

We had an incredible stay at the Blue Iris! First, the location COULD not be better and absolutely made the trip. We also had trouble finding a room that would be comfortable for 3 people and this one was amazing, it had 2 comfortable beds AND two bathrooms. We really enjoyed the extra touches such as happy hour and breakfast, and access to the bikes. Definitely recommend! My only critical feedback: the staff was very kind but not able to answer some of our questions, and it would go a long way to have some light bites such as nuts or chips included in the happy hour as well.

My daughter and I had a great stay here. Bed was very comfortable and staff was very nice. We were even allowed to check in hours early which was a bonus. I would stay again.

2/10 Poor

This was shown as a 5 star Nantucket hotel. The amenities were nothing near 5 star, and the staff was horrible. I highly recommend to stay away from this property. The customer service was absolutely terrible. There was no one at the front desk the majority of our stay. I hate to leave such a bad review since we absolutely loved our time in Nantucket, but the staff at the hotel was not present and we felt uncomfortable during our stay. The property and rooms are nice, but there were no staff members present. We were told there was complimentary breakfast from 8-10 but when we went downstairs there was no one was around. When we did see anyone (“front desk employees”) they were outside or in a closed room, often on their phone with what seemed to be friends, and not available. We did not feel welcome, and would never go back, especially for $1000 a night.
Jameson, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A wonderful place to stay!

We were so impressed with the attention to detail used when decorating this hotel. It was beautifully done. The room was large and spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was very accommodating and the location was a 5 minute walk to the main downtown area. All in all, it was perfect.

Great location downtown. Room was clean and roomy particularly for a Nantucket Inn. Lovely patio in the back where happy hour cocktails served. Very attentive manager.

We have traveled the US, Canada, Mexico and most of Europe. With out a doubt the was the finest hotel stay. From check-in staff, cleanliness, comfort and walking distance to shopping and sites. 5 stars

Property was recently renovated and is in gorgeous, pristine condition. Has all the latest amenities, which is unusual for many guest houses in Nantucket. The staff was extraordinarily accommodating and helpful. Overall, a wonderful experience, although expensive!
michelle, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The nightly rate of $600 carries a certain level of expectations which sadly, was not met. To start off, your staff seems very unhappy to work for the property. Initially, Casita was quite abrupt and we played along. However, after a few of these interactions, her abruptness got tiring and disruptive. As for the room, although nicely appointed, it did not seem thoroughly cleaned. The floor in the inside of the door was sticky and needed to be properly swept. The toilet seat also felt sticky and not properly sanitized. Further, the bath towels, apart from being quite small, did not seem clean. When we asked for additional towels, we were met with frustration from the staff and we decided to not insist. Sadly, although your property has great potential, the room rate does not match the quality of service and cleanliness (or lack thereof) of the room. We certainly feel that we overpaid.
