What a wonderful 2 nights we had at the Nantucket Whale B&B! One of the absolutely best experiences we have had at a Hotels.com property! The room was very accommodating and had everything we needed/wanted, including a jetted deep tub with a hand-held feature. Both breakfasts were delicious and my husband raved about the coffee. Wine was available in the dining room, as well as Biscoff biscuits. Parking was plentiful and the inn was centrally located to restaurants and shopping on Main Street. We had dinner at Pasta Moon, which was recommended by a staff member; it was within walking distance (2 blocks) and was outstanding…a Michelin rated restaurant in 2025!
