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!!.

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.
