I have now stayed at The Brass Lantern four times, for a total of 12 nights. It is comfortable, welcoming, relaxed and I can't recommend it highly enough. All of the staff are friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is delicious. I want to only use superlatives, as The Brass Lantern deserves them. Nantucket is wonderful: I recommend you visit... More

My wife and I visited Nantucket for the first time during the above mentioned Festival. The weather was spectacular and so were the accomodations at the Brass Lantern Inn. Room was spacious, location perfect and breakfast was all you could ask for. We can't wait to return to this lovely Island.

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful getaway on Nantucket and the Brass Lantern Inn was perfect! The staff was friendly and helpful. The inn was conveniently located, clean, and nicely decorated. Everything about our visit was wonderful and we will be planning another vacation here in the future.

Upon arrival we were promptly greeted and shown to our spacious, CLEAN, room on the 3rd floor. Great views. Breakfast was not your typical continental...this one had ultra fresh fruit, homemade granola, etc etc.....and great coffee, fresh ground...not the cheap stuff. Highly recommended!

I am glad that you enjoyed your view from the Brant Point room - it is a treat to wake up in a bright sunny room and see the Harbor - makes you realize that Nantucket is really a 'faraway place'. Thank you for your kind comments about our offerings - hope to see you again! More

My husband and I chose the Brass Lantern primarily out of desperation: we were "banished" from staying with the rest of our family at a larger hotel because we were traveling with an elderly dog. As it turned out, though, we couldn't have imagined a lovelier place to stay, and if we ever come back to Nantucket, we would choose... More

Perfect place to stay for a visit of Nantucket. Location: 3 walking minutes from Steamship Authoritys ferry terminal, in the center of Nantucket Town, restaurants, shops and Whale museum just some footsteps away. Traditional old House in a very good shape, very clean and with very good continental breakfast. Very kind staff. Not cheap, but worth the price! Always

We visited the Brass Lantern Inn for an anniversary trip and could not have been more pleased. We stayed for three nights in the spacious Wisteria room on the second floor and were wowed by the comfortable bed sheets which helped make our sojourn even more restful. The staff were always available but never intrusive. The ambience of the Inn... More

At the last minute we planned a short trip to Nantucket over Labor Day weekend and used Trip Advisor to find a place to stay. We really lucked out when the Brass Lantern Inn was available. Our room - the Brant Point - was on the third floor and gave us a spectacular view of the harbor. Waking up early... More

I brought my wife here for an extended weekend. We arrived early but we were allowed to leave our luggage and go out and explore the town. When we returned our room was ready.

The reviewer before me, bayfair, is right on. Definitely "old motel" like atmosphere. The furniture in our room was cheap and dated. Some household products like an orange spray might help with the chintzy pine bureau, at least cover up some of the mars and some spray paint might refresh the old wicker (like the cheap stuff I bought in...

Wow! These two reviews are so unlike our usual guest reviews it is hard to know where to start!
