We stayed in the bunkbed room. My kids loved it ! This was probably the coolest room they’ve stayed in. The staff were so nice, welcoming and accommodating. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to visit Nantucket.

Faraway Nantucket was a nice place to stay. Room was very small but clean. The outdoor restaurant/lounge was a nice place to relax, and the indoor bar was happening in the evening. The location is perfect. All shops and restaurants are walkable from the hotel. Great place to stay!

Friendly and professional staff in an immaculately kept facility both inside and out. It is an historic building, so don’t be surprised by noisy pipes.
