Blue Iris

Had an excellent stay for a quick get away, the hotel has a great location and easy access to town. They also have bikes!

Great stay, close walk to downtown. Some on street parking.

The Blue Iris is in an ideal location in Nantucket: easy walking distance to everything downtown but on a quiet side for rest and relaxation. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable. The staff is friendly and professional. They even loan out beach towels and beach chairs - a big plus if you fly to the island!

The location was unbeatable and the hotel oozed charm with updates and attention to detail. Great decor, delicious little breakfast (the croissants were homemade and incredible, the juice freshly squeezed) and the staff was kind and thoughtful (there's a daily drink for guests each evening and when I told them I didn't drink alcohol, they brought me and my daughters a delicious non-alcoholic bottle....so thoughtful). Towels, beach chairs, bikes...they made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The only downside to the hotel was not knowing that the room we booked was below ground level with small basement windows that made for a pretty dim interior. The photos we saw upon booking show a beautiful room filled with natural light and the booking said "ground level" which is true in that it's a split level so the front room was below ground but the back room walked out onto a back patio. If we wanted some natural light and opened our shades, we were definitely on display to people walking on the street, so we kind of hated being inside, despite the beautiful decor and soft bedding, because it was pretty dark even in the middle of the day. If natural light and sunshine is something you value in your stay, I would recommend asking exactly which floor you will be on during your stay. I just get the icks in basements and a few spider webs and bugs in corners sort of underscored the feeling, even though it was cleaned each day and very updated and polished.

First evening after check in, there was no staff available….although there was supposed to be until 10 PM OR by phone- both numbers posed were busy- we had questions/needs and could not get in touch with anyone, luckily it was not anything too crucial and we figured it out. The next day staff was very kind but basically did nothing for the issues. The continental breakfast was probably the least offerings I have ever had. Honestly, if not for the price, it would have been fine- but for the cost of the stay, it definitely was not ‘worth it’. It was clean, comfortable bed, pretty place with a beautiful patio/firepit.

Everyone was lovely. Very much appreciated the welcome glass of wine. Thank you.

Very cozy and accommodating! Amazing personnel! There’s a bike rack available in front of the building.

good location but service and amenities is lacking for the price.

We had an incredible stay at the Blue Iris! First, the location COULD not be better and absolutely made the trip. We also had trouble finding a room that would be comfortable for 3 people and this one was amazing, it had 2 comfortable beds AND two bathrooms. We really enjoyed the extra touches such as happy hour and breakfast, and access to the bikes. Definitely recommend! My only critical feedback: the staff was very kind but not able to answer some of our questions, and it would go a long way to have some light bites such as nuts or chips included in the happy hour as well.

Overall, a solid property whose biggest perks are the included bikes offered with your stay and the breakfast. Room could be much improved by removing or replacing unnecessarily large furniture that caused the room to feel claustrophobic. Front desk service is really hit-or-miss. One attendant was fantastic while another treated us like we were absolutely wasting her time. In general, the stay was just fine but I don’t think I’ll stay here again.

The nightly rate of $600 carries a certain level of expectations which sadly, was not met. To start off, your staff seems very unhappy to work for the property. Initially, Casita was quite abrupt and we played along. However, after a few of these interactions, her abruptness got tiring and disruptive. As for the room, although nicely appointed, it did not seem thoroughly cleaned. The floor in the inside of the door was sticky and needed to be properly swept. The toilet seat also felt sticky and not properly sanitized. Further, the bath towels, apart from being quite small, did not seem clean. When we asked for additional towels, we were met with frustration from the staff and we decided to not insist. Sadly, although your property has great potential, the room rate does not match the quality of service and cleanliness (or lack thereof) of the room. We certainly feel that we overpaid.

Very nice hotel with clean, comfortable, nicely appointed rooms. Staff were very kind and accommodating. Great location near the middle of town on a quiet street.

Clean, very helpful staff, very convenient

"The hotel room was impeccably clean, and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout my stay

High quality toiletries and linens. Very clean. Amazing walkability to the entire “Town” area of Nantucket with dozens of shops and restaurants. Easy pickup from Uber and 2 blocks away from the visitor’s center with a shuttle to Cisco brewery.

Clean and great location

We were so impressed with the attention to detail used when decorating this hotel. It was beautifully done. The room was large and spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was very accommodating and the location was a 5 minute walk to the main downtown area. All in all, it was perfect.

Super clean great views and room

They have to get new mattresses. They are really bad. Couldn’t sleep more than 6am. I have to leave because my back hurts from it. Not worth it for the price

Overall a very comfortable room. The air conditioner made too much noise and so that was a negative.

The rooms are nice but a little loud.

Small rooms. Weird, inpersonal check in, not a 5 star! More a 2-3 star. Not great. But good location

We loved the hotel and staff were very helpful and welcoming. We’ll be back

This was shown as a 5 star Nantucket hotel. The amenities were nothing near 5 star, and the staff was horrible. I highly recommend to stay away from this property. The customer service was absolutely terrible. There was no one at the front desk the majority of our stay. I hate to leave such a bad review since we absolutely loved our time in Nantucket, but the staff at the hotel was not present and we felt uncomfortable during our stay. The property and rooms are nice, but there were no staff members present. We were told there was complimentary breakfast from 8-10 but when we went downstairs there was no one was around. When we did see anyone (“front desk employees”) they were outside or in a closed room, often on their phone with what seemed to be friends, and not available. We did not feel welcome, and would never go back, especially for $1000 a night.

Amazing 48 hours in ACK. This hotel is a well decorated gem in the perfect location downtown. Stayed in the suite and it was very comfortable for 3 people (although bathroom is in the primary bedroom). The service was absolutely excellent - Sarah and Ali couldn’t have been better hosts. For those familiar with Nantucket, this is a great find. If you are not familiar with Nantucket, remind yourselves most properties are BnBs and this is a great choice - it’s newer than most of them and again you can walk anywhere. Also nice touch with Le Labo amenities. I don’t think the high price tag of the resorts on the island are worth it - def choose this spot for quick weekend trips.

The hotel was charming. The staff superb. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend the hotel.

Beautiful hotel with unique design and great location on a quiet street, but close to everything

Had an excellent stay for a quick get away, the hotel has a great location and easy access to town. They also have bikes!

Very nice hotel with clean, comfortable, nicely appointed rooms. Staff were very kind and accommodating. Great location near the middle of town on a quiet street.

We loved our stay there and would highly recommend this property. Loved the staff there as well. Easy walk to the main shopping area as well.

Friendly staff! Miss Kass is an excellent hostess who makes the best overnight oats!
