    tropical fruit breakfast
    excellent staff
    perfect location
    missing airport shuttle
    extra room chair

    The Brandt Point restaurant at White Elephant served killer sliced tropical fruits that made breakfast feel like a mini vacation! The staff was top-notch, going out of their way to arrange a sunset sail and massages. Plus, the location was spot-on—close to town yet peaceful.

    Also, a shuttle to the airport would’ve been a nice touch—though coffee before 8 AM would’ve really kicked our mornings into high gear!

    leaky shower
    noise disturbance

    we had a fantastic stay at a two-bedroom villa for three nights. the space was perfect for our family, offering ample closets and comfortable rooms. being able to walk to nearby restaurants and the beach exceeded our expectations for a relaxing nantucket getaway.

    the shower leaked every time we used it.

    friendly staff
    harbor view
    cozy bed
    check-in confusion
    limited hotel dining options

    We recently celebrated our anniversary at the White Elephant Hotel and it was an unforgettable experience. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, from check-in to check-out. Our room was beautifully appointed with a cozy bed and stunning views of the harbor. We loved the complimentary water bottles and morning pastries by the deck, which made our mornings delightful. The location is perfect, just a short walk to town, making it easy to explore. The pool area was relaxing, and we particularly enjoyed the healthy lunch options by the pool. Every detail seemed to have been thought of to ensure a lovely stay.

    The only downside was a slightly confusing check-in process.

    noise disturbance

    Staying in a room adjacent to a bustling restaurant leaves little room for privacy. you might as well be dining with your fellow guests. On top of that, the lack of communication about amenities—such as a complimentary water taxi for dining—was disappointing, especially for first-time visitors eager to make the most of their trip. Additionally, issues like a crying baby due to a malfunctioning key card system and a continual high-pitched noise from the utility area made for discomfort during our stay.

    friendly staff
    bmw raffle

    our stay at white elephant was truly delightful! the partial harborview suite felt more like a cozy home than a hotel, and the staff were awesome. we loved being close to downtown but still enjoyed a peaceful retreat. winning a bmw x7 raffle added a fun twist to our getaway!

    amazing staff

    charming stay with a short walk to the beach and downtown

    Staying at the residences was delightful, especially with Children's Beach just a few steps away and the charming restaurants of downtown only a short stroll of 5-10 minutes, making our weekend explorations so easy. as a couple, we appreciated the close proximity to so many wonderful sights and the amenities of a summer cottage experience.

    The White Elephant offered a comfortable stay for my business trip. The staff was exceptionally efficient, assisting with my meeting setup and ensuring all my needs were met promptly. The room was well-appointed, featuring a cozy bed and a stunning view of the harbor, which made for a pleasant work environment. The business center was equipped with all necessary amenities, allowing me to complete tasks seamlessly.

    Wi-Fi was occasionally slow.

    beautiful views
    rude encounter
    outdated bathroom

    The hotel was lovely, with beautiful views and very attentive staff. The pool area was relaxing, and the food was quite good. However, the coffee service left something to be desired, with a rude encounter regarding gluten-free options and an outdated bathroom that could use improvement.
