“Loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012 via mobile

Can't recommend this hotel enough! My husband and 2 children spent 2 nights here at the beginning of November. We booked on the recommendation of the many excellent Trip Advisor reviews...and they were not wrong!
We stayed following Hurricane Sandy. We'd actually booked the trip a month or so beforehand, long before the storm hit but were we glad we did! Living in NJ we had no power at home so were very happy to be able to escape to Martha's Vineyard - and this hotel was perfect for us!!!
Joanne, Wes and the staff were fantastic. Extremely welcoming - made us feel very at home.
Room was lovely - tastefully decorated, warm and cosy. Breakfast in the mornings was a lovely touch and set us up nicely for our travels round the Island.
Location is fab! Right in the center of Edgarstown, within walking distance of everything (good restaurants, shops, light house etc).
The hotel has a restaurant attached to it - Chesca's - which has just closed (end of season) but looked very nice.
There is also a beauty salon and spa (again within the hotel) which looked great but I didn't get to use - I will next time!
In the evening we ate at The Newes from America (just across the street from hotel) and The Wharf. Both excellent pubs - we had great meals and service.
Really loved this hotel and hope to return next year. Thanks again to Joanne and Wes - really appreciated you looking after us!

Wow! We very much appreciate your enthusiastic review and we are glad we could be your "getaway central" from the effects of Hurricane Sandy. Wes and I and the entire staff are so happy you found our service welcoming and enjoyed the attractions of lovely Edgartown just beyond our front door. We are also big fans of "The Newes" and The Wharf and hope you do make it back to visit in season when Chesca's is open. The Snowball desert is truly to die for!

“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

Charming, historic hotel in a perfect location. Joanne and staff are helpful, and knowledgable about the area. The hotel has bicycles that you can borrow to explore the area.

We stayed in a harbor-view room, which had a window view of the harbor. Room was cozy and comfortable. Just outside the room was a balcony where guests could get a better view of the harbor.

Given the lack of sleep quality, I don't think this would be our first choice for lodgings during future visits to Martha's Vineyard.

Con:
When guests close their doors -- the doors seem to close very loudly as there is no mechanism to prevent same. This is bothersome when awoken by a loud 'symphony' of doors being closed by other guests.

The hallways are somewhat narrow, combined with the thin walls, conversations in the hallway seep into the room.

Thank you for your kind words about our charming decor, great location, friendly staff and room amenities. We're glad you enjoyed our bikes and found your room to be cozy.

We're sorry, however, to hear that your room location proved to be too loud. Like most historic buildings on The Vineyard, soundproofing older structures can be a bit of a challenge. However, we do have some locations in the hotel that are a bit more quiet than the rooms located next to the public porch. When these concerns are brought to our attention while guests are onsite we attempt to relocate the guets to a more suitable room. We hope you will give us another try in the future!

“High Standard Relaxed Accommodation in Edgartown centre”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 14, 2012

I stayed three nights at the Vineyard Square Hotel in one of the "Cozy" rooms. As a single traveller this room is just the right size with a larger bathroom than many of the chain hotels, it would also be fine for a couple. The staff are all friendly and knowledgeable about the hotel and the surrounding area. There are many shops, cafes and restaurants in 5 mins walk so location could not be better. There a rockers on the front porch to watch the world go by but there is also a very calming balcony with sea views and rockers on the 4th floor that feels like you are in a private world. The Wifi internet connectivity is free and first class. Having checked out the other places to stay as I walked around town I would say the Vineyard Square is hard to beat.

Room Tip: The "Cozy" rooms are great value and have everything you need for a short stay.
