The hotel does not make it clear that some of the guest room do NOT have their own bathroom on their website and with room descriptions on third party sites. Simply stating, “shared bathroom” with no specific details or images is unclear and in my opinion, incredibly deceiving. The shared bathroom experience unfortunately made our stay at the hotel unenjoyable. From the moment we arrived, the bathroom was not cleaned, I got locked in the bathroom and it took over 20 minutes for the maintenance staff to come and unlock the door, and when we did use the shower, there was no soap in the shower stall so we had to use shampoo. To pay that type of price point for a hotel room, I would expect that it would have its own bathroom. On top of that, the amount of narrow stairs that we had to get to our room was also a unexpected, and disappointing surprise. I will not be recommending this hotel to any of my family or friends who will be travelling to the island in the future. In all due respect, I think I should be partially compensated for my stay.

This hotel is stunning! The courtyard when you first walk in is surrounded by hydrangea’s in every color and the grounds are impeccable!! We stayed in the garden king room which was pie big for my husband and our 15 year old daughter. It’s also located right in the Herat of the island steps from all the shopping and restaurants! I cannot say more positive things about this beautiful hotel!

“Eh”

Positive that it was close to town. Service wasn’t great. Most of staff was not friendly. It was not accommodating to families with children. Just kind of “eh” all around. Probably would try a different hotel next time.

Although on arrival and check in, the hotel seemed wonderful and the staff were very pleasant to deal with, we learned upon entrance to our room that we did not have a private bathroom and would have to share a bathroom. Considering the amount of money we paid to stay at the Faraway and the fact that it is 2025 and we weren’t camping in the woods this was absolutely unacceptable and uncivilized. The shared bathrooms were not even equipped for multi person use- the sink was extremely small, there were no shelves for your toiletries, no paper towels for drying your hands and no hooks for towels/bath robes. I felt like I was in a college dorm. For this reason I would not be able to recommend the hotel to anyone going to Nantucket.

Not a good experience

Beware of this hotel, check in is at 4pm, everyone needed to store their bags and the lobby was so small so it was constantly filled with bags. communal bathrooms that were not clearly specified which made me feel fully unsafe. The staff seemed stressed. Also room was just a fail, one outlet, super cramped and not what was pictured. Overall everyone including me was on edge, there was a general vibe of anxiety

Clean, cute & convenient

Had a great stay at The Faraway! Property and room are very clean, well appointed, generally comfortable, although extremely tight (as is almost everything in town on ACK). Appreciated the friendly, helpful service and convenient location.
