Frommer's Review

A little down on its heels, this grand brick manse in the center of town was built in 1845 to the specs of the social-climbing Mrs. Coffin, who abandoned Nantucket for the big city after 2 years and left the house to boarders. The several buildings in the complex are awaiting a renovation by new owners, who also own the White Elephant on the harbor. The central location does have a drawback: The front rooms can be quite noisy. The hotel offers the island's authentic Chinese restaurant, Harbor Wok, open seasonally in July and August.

Facilities:
Restaurant (open Jul-Aug)

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
