The Ship Inn was an older but has all the necessary amenities. Mary Lou and her staff were very courteous and helpful with information. Will definitely return.

Don't even think about bringing your car on the ferry; just walk on. Inn was a short walk from the pier. Original ferry ride was cancelled due to weather and our hosts were very understanding. Excellent restaurant run by the proprietors -- scrumptious breakfasts. Very accommodating hosts. It is one of only a few in the world we look forward to visiting again.

Cozy, wonderful stay!
The Ships Inn was great - very comfortable, clean, and inviting. The rooms are spacious and the common areas are lovely. The restaurant wasn’t open during our (off-season) stay but there was a great breakfast spread each morning from their kitchen. Very centrally located but still quiet. Mary Lou and staff are wonderful. Would definitely recommend!

Great little B&B in a historic downtown building very close to the center of town in Nantucket. Rooms have been modernized with finishes but still retain most of their historic charm. Excellent restaurant located in the basement that serves a complimentary breakfast each morning to guests.

Awesome B&B near Town
We took the car ferry from Haynnis. Upon arrival we wound our way through the quaint cobbled streets to our Inn and with some help from the Inn Keeper we finally found a place to park. We called down to the restaurant and they fit us in even though we did not have a reservation. The meal was fantastic and the dessert, a butter scotch souffle was a dream. We spent the next few days checking out the historic town, riding our bikes to Madeket Beach and the Sankaty light house and visiting the Whaling Museum. We ate at the Boarding House, Rose and Crown Pub, and Venuno. Except for the pub the prices were very upscale. The Ships Inn head staff, Bob and Mary Lou were fantastic.

Lovely inn and innkeeper!
I made plans to spend time with 2 close friends months ago and was able to speak with Ms. Quayle directly even though it was off season. She was even more helpful once we arrived and had excellent recommendations for restaurants and tips on the island. Further, the inn is lovely, and immaculately clean. Having owned an antique house, I know how difficult it is to keep things fresh while maintaining the character. The inn is roughly a block or two from the shops & restaurants. I would HIGHLY recommend staying here! Thanks for a delightful stay.

Amazing B&B
I have never been to Nantucket, nor stayed at any other hotel in the area, but this was one of the best B&B experiences I have ever had. First off - during high season, prices can be outrageous, but this B&B was very reasonably priced and was equal for the amenities. The included breakfast was absolutely amazing. The owners were always around to help with anything. Our room was huge which is very rare for a B&B. One issue was that the bathroom was small, but that was minor and didn't affect our stay. The living room and decor was inviting and so nice. There is also a great bar in the basement along with a top-notch restaurant. The location is also right down the street from the middle of town and everything is within walking distance. In the future, I wouldn't stay anywhere else!
