We cannot say enough about how comfortable our stay was at the Nantucket Whale Inn. It was beautifully decorated, comfortable bed, warm and inviting fireplace. Our room had a private entrance and was very private. A delicious breakfast was brought to our room in the morning. The staff very friendly and inviting. Thank you!

Personal approach of the staff, historical place, felt myself very cozy and safe, great location

Svitlana United States of America

The property was at the end of Main Street so you could easily walk the town or hop back on Highway 1 to get to all the surrounding beaches and other small towns. The breakfast was great and the staff was so friendly. The outside courtyard was a perfect place to sit with a glass of wine or cup of coffee!

Lara United States of America

Michael United States of America

The staff was very friendly and accommodating to dietary needs. Plenty of coffee and tea, water and snacks 24/7 - so lovely and generous! Nice patio and easy walk to many shops and restaurants. Comfortable rooms and nice common areas.

Paula United States of America

When I booked the room I missed the description that the bathroom was outside our room. When I called they graciously changed our booking. The staff was very responsive. Check-in was easy. During our stay it was quiet. All the rooms were not booked. Everyone I did meet was respectful. The first night spent some time in the living room conversing with another guest. Our conversation continued in the morning. Breakfast was served in a timely way. Interesting photographs and books relating to the area were available.
