If this is the 3rd best B&B/hotel in Nantucket, TripAdvisor needs to recalibrate its rating system. It’s a charming place with centrally located and well equipped, comfortable rooms. It’s a bit sterile as a B&B, staffed by helpful but not very alert workers - there’s no friendly innkeeper giving you advice on the town. For example, we asked the front desk worker for ideas for a bike ride and beaches and all she had to offer was that we should scan the QR code in our room. It shouldn’t even call itself a “breakfast”, breakfast is a minimal selections of some pastries one level up from a holiday inn and an occasional boiled egg (when they aren’t out). It starts at 830, and by 910, it seemed picked clean and even out of coffee. Like how hard is it to have someone scrambling eggs and making waffles? They do have a make your own cocktail station which was sort of nice - though missing items like simple syrup for the “sweet” element of mixing cocktails. The grounds are really charming - pretty patios, fire pits, and flowers everywhere. They have free bikes, beach towels, and beach chairs (but no umbrellas). With a lot of coaxing they did give us a street parking pass (otherwise don’t expect parking here). At $200/night (or even $400 for the Nantucket factor), it would get a higher rating, but at these prices, deeply disappointed. 5 Star? No way.

Our stay at the 76 Main Ink was one of the highlights of our time on Nantucket!

The breakfast area was very nice and thoughtfully prepared. The staff communicated via text before our arrival and during our stay. The location was amazing—one block to shopping and two blocks to the city bus line for transportation around the island. The Inn was perfect!

− Nothing — it was excellent

We were disappointed and, quite frankly, were glad to come home.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. The location was great. The facility was clean and the bed was clean.

− The bathroom was MUCH too small. We're very small people and could barely turn around in it. I don't know how a normal sized person could squeeze onto the toilet. The sink wasn't draining properly. We alerted staff on our first day, but it wasn't fixed. There was no closet and only one hook to hang clothes. Breakfast was OK but most of the items were sweet. It would have been nice to include fresh oranges and bananas.
