My wife and I spent our 45th wedding anniversary on Nantucket, lodging at 76 Main. We are more than please with our stay at 76 Main. The room was very neat and clean and had all the amenities we needed in the room. The General Manager, Richard, was a true gentleman who spent time giving us tips on where to eat and what to see. The location was great as we walked to all the restaurants and the harbor was a stone throw away. There was a breakfast spread each morning and snack spread in the afternoon. We will stay at 76 Main if we go back to Nantucket.

Overall terrific experience. The staff were knowledgeable friendly and professional and took care of any issues that came up. The room was perfect and well appointed and was just what we were looking for. The hotel was decorated and appointed perfectly along with a generous continental breakfast in the morning with multiple options. In the evening there were a good selection of snacks and drinks to choose from. Overall we would give a 10 including the staff,room and the hotel itself.

Dan and I had the perfect honeymoon celebrating in Nantucket at the 76 Ink Press Hotel! You absolutely cannot beat the location and value for the price we paid. Upon arrival, the staff were already made aware that we were on our honeymoon and made us feel super special walking through the door. When we got to our beautiful room, we had a sweet handwritten note for us alongside a bottle of wine. You definitely have to take advantage of "cocktail hour" down on the main floor. Dan and I had a blast making our own fancy cocktails and then enjoying them in the garden every evening before dinner. I have very few complaints but I want to note that our shower never stayed warm/hot and would often completely lose pressure but other than that we didn't experience any problems We are already planning our next trip for the same time next year!

The room was spacious, modern, and very clean. I loved the fun offerings in the kitchen, like breakfast, happy hour mixers, and ice cream sundaes. The courtyard is beautiful, we loved hanging out back there. The staff were all so nice and accommodating. Would love to visit again!

My daughter & I were in town doing a pop up shop of her vintage quilt repurposing business, Handmade by Hannah-Mae. They invited us to the hotel as an added benefit to their guests & for the entire town to enjoy & shop. (What a great idea) We held the Pop-up shop at 21 Broad Street Hotel on their quaint front porch. We sold many quilts, quilt jackets, bags & banners after which, we stayed at their sister property, 76 Main Street Hotel. What a treat it all turned out to be! Richard & Amanda, Brooke, Mary, Breana and 21 Broad street maintenance & front desk staff they were all super helpful, warm & welcoming. They went above and beyond. Brooke who was our point of contact was the best! Truly she was more like family by the time we left. She not only cared about why we were there but she was fully invested in making it a success for us. A special thanks to Brooke for helping us market & get the word out that we were in town and for giving us great handout ideas. How lucky the management is to have her representing them & how lucky we were to have her working with us! There was never a moment we needed for anything! We loved it so much, we ended up extending our stay to see a little bit more of Nantucket. Luckily there was a room available so we got to experience both the cottage in the back of the house & a room in the main house. I can’t decide which bed I liked better because they both were extremely comfortable (believe me, I’m picky with a bad back) I slept very well. The property was quiet & a very good place to come back to after holding the busy pop-up shop. Both properties are perfectly located near the town so we could walk everywhere that we needed to be. I really enjoyed the incredible coffee & scones in the morning at the continental breakfast in the super cute kitchen area. The fresh baked cookies in the afternoon with a nice tea were also yummy! The firepit on the back patio offered a relaxing place to bring in the evening. Truly, I loved this property & everything that it offers! To all the staff, it was a treat meeting all of you! Thanks for having us. Especially Brooke, we thank you for all your hard work & hope to come back again next year!

I didn’t want to leave! Richard, the owner, and his team run a first class operation… The rooms are beautifully appointed, the patio/fire pit are perfect for any time of day and I loved learning the history of the location. Just at the top of Main Street, it’s an easy walk anywhere in town… If I could give more stars, I would. Thank you, 76 Main, for a wonderful 3 days!

We had a wonderful time at 76 Main Ink Press. It's a beautiful and charming Inn. We loved the suite and how comfortable it was. The firepit table and the courtyard was a nice place to sit down and chat with other guests. The breakfast had a nice selection too. The location was very convenient to all the shops, restaurants and ferry. I would love to go back to visit and stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Nantucket!

I was very pleasantly surprised how beautiful (traditional Nantucket, yet modern/clean) this hotel property was and especially loved how familial, friendly, and lovely the staff & management were at 76 Main. The young women at the front desk were all smiles and super helpful and made the experience familial and easy going. The courtyard in the back was nice to go sit and have breakfast and enjoy AM coffee or catch-up on emails. The rooms were clean and cozy. The coffee machine and water stations were kept well and the kitchen very well stocked. It was like a very high-end boutique hotel with the feeling of a warm/welcoming B&B experience. Location cannot be beaten and it's not too busy and not at all loud. Loved the entire experience. Ed
