My stay at The White Elephant was nothing short of exceptional. From the warm welcome at check-in to the special touches for our anniversary, the experience was truly memorable. The rooms were cozy and comfortable, and the location made it easy to explore Nantucket. Although we faced a couple of minor issues, the staff's professionalism and responsiveness made all the difference. I can confidently say this is a place I will return to without hesitation!

I was really looking forward to my stay, but unfortunately, the experience fell short in several areas. While I appreciated the staff's efforts to assist during our visit, it didn’t make up for the numerous issues we encountered with the room and hotel amenities. The dining options were more lackluster than I expected for a place at this price point. Overall, the location is great, but there are definitely better options on the island for the price.
Rooms

I had an amazing stay at the hotel, which provided a beautiful and spacious suite perfect for my honeymoon. The service was exceptional, especially from Taylor and Pablo at the pool who made our time unforgettable. However, the cottage I stayed in felt a bit dated, particularly the bathroom. Overall, the value and amenities were great, and I would absolutely return.

I had a delightful end-of-summer stay at The White Elephant. The hotel has a stunning location with breathtaking harbor views, and the room was spacious and beautifully decorated. While the service and amenities were top-notch, I did notice that the cleanliness and maintenance didn't always match the premium price, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, it was a memorable experience, but there are a few aspects that could use improvement.

Our stay at White Elephant was mostly delightful, especially with the impeccable cleanliness and friendly service. The pool area was a big hit with my daughter, and we loved the convenient shuttle service to the beach. However, we encountered some disappointments with the room's condition and the breakfast pastries. Overall, it's a beautiful property, but it seems like certain areas need some attention for the price we paid.
