Edgartown Inn

Frommer's Review

This centrally located historic inn offers perhaps the best value on the island. Nathaniel Hawthorne holed up here for nearly a year, and Daniel Webster also spent time here. The lovely 1798 Federal manse is a showplace even here on captains' row. Rooms are no-frills but pleasantly traditional; some have TVs. Breakfast, which is open to the public, is available in the dining room for an extra charge of $5.50 to $8.50. Some rooms in the front of the house have harbor views and two have private balconies. Modernists may prefer the two cathedral-ceilinged quarters in the annex out back, which offer lovely light and a sense of seclusion. Service is excellent; be sure to say hello to Henry King, who has been on the staff for over 50 years.
