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.

I really liked this place but I wish they would start breakfast before 8:00. Even 7:30 would be welcome. Or they could put out a few self-serve options (besides apples and clementines) that those who need to get somewhere in the morning, as I did, have less of a rush in the morning. Dry cereal and a pitcher of milk, and some baked goods would do it. Staff is there starting at 7:00, so this seems reasonable.

had to cancel my reservation due to the winds on the island, not able to get a ferry. had a 3 night stay booked, cancel after 1st day.. still had to pay for 3 nights.. I knew I was going to lose the first night, but when the ferry doesnt run and puts you on standby for a whole day, our job had to be cancelled. I was hoping for more accommodations with the hotel.

Our stay at The Brass Lantern was the best bed and breakfast experience we’ve ever had. It was quiet, comfortable, and the staff was delightful. From the front steps you could walk in any direction and feel like you were walking back in time. The rooms and inn were beautiful and complement the quintessential Nantucket vibe of the neighborhood. We will be returning and hope to be greeted by Sharon our fantastic hostess!

Extremely deceiving room photos.

Hotel booker beware. Owner uses very misleading room photos. We paid for an upgraded deluxe room and got a room the size of a closet with a ridiculously obstructive ceiling. See picture. European size rooms are bigger. This was a classic “bait and switch” tactic. On a positive note, the Service staff was great and so was the weather. Two thumbs down for the room.

Our stay was wonderful. The facility was well kept by attentive staff and they were available easily at most times. Rooms are small, as to be expected, but we'll appointed and clean. While it may lack the trappings of some larger hotels, it's also available at a more reasonable price. It's quaint and comfortable with a wonderful host in Sharon. Close to town, easy in and out. This is a reliable and cozy spot.
