What guests think

Across many reviews, Jared Coffin House stands out for its warm, attentive staff and a superb in-town location, while its historic character and handy perks like complimentary bikes and beach gear enhance convenience for exploring Nantucket.

Rooms are generally compact, with some noise from thin walls or window ACs; a few feel dated while others are updated, and there is no elevator for upper floors. The continental breakfast gets mixed feedback, ranging from tasty fresh baked items to limited selection or items running out, while the on-site Tap Room adds convenient dining. Expect a charming historic stay with compact rooms and variable breakfast.

Our room was small butt livable. There is no elevator to get to upper floors.(It is an historical building, probably at leas 200 years old, so room size and lack of elevator is not surprising.) We enjoyed our stay and it is a great walkable location for enjoying Nantucket town and waterfront restaurants.

Perfect location,convenient and easily walkable to all downtown areas. Staff and service are excellent- helpful and kind. The attached outside restaurant/bar is a welcome addition. The room was spacious and clean. Would like to have had an outside area to lounge and read but overall enjoyed our stay.

Since this was a solo getaway...I had one of the smaller rooms with a twin bed (still had my own bathroom) and I couldn't have been happier. Great staff and amenities (beach chairs and towels at the front desk!...and continental breakfast each day! And the location can not be beat! Right in downtown and fast walking access to everything as well as all the bus routes.

The location was perfect and the staff at the hotel could not have been better. Offered free bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, and towels. They also had driver that could take you anywhere within mile of hotel. Cookies and lemonade were served every afternoon and was always such a treat after site seeing all day. I already miss it! Would definitely stay here again!

This property is quaint and just steps from all the restaurants and shops. The bed was very comfortable. The staff is so friendly and attentive! We asked for several items that weren’t included in our room, and they had them delivered very quickly. The Tap room on site is a perfect place to sit outside and watch the world go by! Bikes on site for free. Sasha and Richard stood out as outstanding employees, but all were phenomenal!

Lovely stay. Staff was very friendly and went above and beyond. Hotel is old but well maintained. Very close to shops and restaurants in town. Continental breakfast was a nice touch! Rooms are small, and walls not sound proof - those are my only complaints. Room was still very comfortable and clean. Overall I recommend this place, maybe bring some ear plugs.

Have stayed on island many many times. First time at Jared Coffin, the staff was amazing and incredibly kind. The room itself was dirty, the shower was dingy, dust in the corners, the rug had visible first spots all over. Could definitely use a facelift. Blew the fuse with just a hair dryer. So if you’re looking for an updated place look elsewhere. Very outdated for the price. With that said- the staff was beyond kind and amazing

The king room was surprisingly large, with a couch, desk and large TV. Spacious bathroom, though the tub/shower combo could use a face lift. 24 hour coffee, tea, water and snacks. Not a giant selection, but nice to have the option. Location is excellent - right between ACK Bar and Brotherhood of Thieves.

The dining area floor was dirty and full of crumbs, the common area dining table was not wiped down, the room temperature was impossibly hot (78 degrees!), the thermostat in the room was unresponsive, there was no ice in the ice machine, the hallway carpeting was dirty and stained.

Excellent customer service, cleanliness, and historical atmosphere. However, our room was quite noisy, as we could hear the person in the next room, as well as a lot of banging of doors and people talking in the hallway. The walls must be paper thin.

The Jared Coffin House is a historic property with a lot of character. We enjoyed the ambience and the service was excellent. Our room was small. It had the essentials, although it did not have an in-room coffee-maker (which is fairly standard these days). The bathroom did not have space for toiletries or a place to have a robe. They really should put a stand by the sink to place toiletries and a hook on the wall or the door to hang a robe. On the positive side - the shampoo/soap provided was of high quality. We prefer firm mattresses and found the bed a bit too soft, though the bedding was of high quality. The hotel provides a complementary continental breakfast with juice tea/coffee, yogurt, cereals, and lovely fresh baked goods. The space for sitting to eat (in the drawing room) was somewhat limited. We didn’t have any problem, but I imagine that in high season it could get tough to find a seat. The location of the hotel is fantastic- right in the middle of Nantucket town and within easy walking distance to all the in-town’ sights.

It's a lovely property, great location for walking, catching a free bus or riding a bike. Have stayed before, this time I had a single room that was very clean but disappointing because of a very noisy bathroom fan and the only window was blocked by an air conditioner ( that was very noisy ) so I didn't use.

It’s a beautifully maintained, historic property over 150 years old. Located within walking distance of many restaurants and shopping choices. The free continental breakfast was nice, with nice food options. My room was very small. King size body pillows on a twin bed were a bit difficult though deal with. Bathroom was very tiny as well. But for a 1 night stay it was fine.

Just left and was SO impressed! This is an older hotel so no elevator and smaller rooms BUT it’s so charming and in the perfect location to see all the sights. The best part by far is the staff! Everyone was beyond helpful and friendly! You can tell they take pride in their job. I’ve stayed in some pretty higher end hotels and this staff out did them all! Shoutout to Tevin for hauling luggage with a smile every time! And the front desk staff was incredible!

We enjoyed our stay at the Jared Coffin House. The hotel staff was extremely nice and helpful. The pre-arrival concierge arranged a ride for us from the Hy-Line ferry terminal which was much appreciated. The room was different than I expected, but it was large, comfortable and had a recently renovated bathroom. Bikes (and helmets) were available free of charge for guests, which was another nice perk. The only negative was that the outdoor courtyard area was only for the restaurant patrons and unless you wanted lunch or dinner you were out of luck. We tried to request a table to have drinks and appetizers but were turned away by a rather snooty hostess. Although the hotel was nice and the location was great, I think on our next trip I'll look for a hotel with a balcony or outdoor courtyard in which we can relax and enjoy.

The breakfast is thorough continental but freshly baked on the premises (at least the muffins are, and they're terrific). Free bikes rentals, which is important because there's a lot to explore in Nantucket that's not exactly within walking distance.

The accommodations were nice, but old. It's wonderful to get that colonial experience, but we prefer the updated 2020 something version of that, which is not here. That's ok, great for others, just not us. Also, for those driving this place is great with ample parking. One thing that again- for us- missed the mark is the front desk and staff are not overly friendly or trained in high end customer service. If you asked a question or asked for something, they responded, but they didn't offer any information if not asked. From the time we checked in, where you would expect that they would tell you about the accommodations, the services like free continental breakfast, beach chairs, bicycles, etc, all they could tell us was that our room was not ready and their obligation is to have it ready by 3pm, that was it. Again, we expect more of a friendly greeting, all the amenities that are available to us, and what suggestions they may have for things to do while we waited. We have been to Nantucket before, so we were fine, but to us this we expect way more. We stayed just down the street last year at a much friendlier, much more updated boutique hotel and favored that quite a bit more. This was just 'OK'.

We enjoyed our stay at the Jared Coffin house. A lovely continental breakfast was provided. We especially enjoyed the delicious, warm coffee cake. The location was convenient, a short walk to the ferry, restaurants, and shops. In the evening, warm cider was offered, a nice touch after being out on a chilly day! Staff was professional, though not especially friendly. We had a few issues with our room.. the shower was very slow to drain, our room overlooked the outdoor seating for The Tap Room and because the top half of large window would not stay up, it was quite loud until the music stopped and patrons cleared out after 10 PM. The double lock on the door was also not in working order. That being said, a few issues are expected with older buildings but some maintenance is in order.
