The property is situated on a pristine stretch of the main road near Edgartown. After getting dropped off in the driveway, we were promptly greeted by a receptionist that helped introduce us to the various systems of the hotel. We were shown a very clean, modern-looking room with beautiful natural light coming in and had an easy time accessing the amenities/necessary apps that the property offers. The hotel's location on the main road in Edgartown makes it easy to head into town to eat or attend events.

It’s a nice boutique hotel but it is in the middle of no where the restaurant across the street is less than desirable. The walk to town is too long on a main street

The only perk was the fact that it was conveniently located. Other than that, everything was terrible. SO LOUD. It was basically a frat house. The kitchen was dirty. You could hear people's conversation in the next room, etc. It was just so awful to try to sleep there.

Had a wonderful stay in Martha's Vineyard at the Franklin Hotel! We were fortunate enough to be able to book the back cottage, which was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The room was a free standing building behind the main building that was tastefully decorated both inside and out. The whole complex had lovely landscaping and appeared to be well maintained, although we did have a small issue securing the back door lock after stepping out onto the tiny back porch area of the cottage. The main building had 2 floors of rooms centered around a commons area with a shared kitchenette. The only issue I would foresee in the commons area would be a shared refrigerator that would likely be insufficient if the hotel was at capacity and all guests wanted to make use of it. The facility was nicely located, less than a 15 minute walk into town, and there was a bike rental shop right next door if you wanted to further explore the island. There was also Bad Martha's, a brewery that also served some tasty pizza, and a fantastic breakfast and lunch spot called Lucky Hanks right next door. Only minor issue we had was on check-in, the Franklin does not have a front desk. I was sent a message to download and app that would be used to access my room, but apparently I was not sent a follow up. Simply walked across the street the desk at the Edgar where the staff quickly resolved it. Overall had a great stay in MV and the Franklin was perfect for us!

There are no full time staff onsite. The hotel across the street manages it, so if need something they come across the street. For example, the shampoo and conditioner bottles were missing in the shower, so I contacted them through the One Key app and they quickly responded and came over to put in the missing bottles. Room is rather small with no refrigerator, microwave, or coffee maker, as these are all located in the nice and spacious common room downstairs. OK selection of TV channels, except the NESN channel was listed as “not available” which means I missed a Red Sox game. Fans beware!

Rooms are way to small for the price you pay.

The place was very clean and updated, 1/2 mile walk to the main town that was nice, restaurants everywhere, rooms are way too small for the price you pay for a night stay. It’s almost impossible to move around in the room that how small they are. We are not big people,

Beautiful and would stay again…

Beautifully decorated, coffee, water, ice, cute thermos to use for water, coffee cups to go, neat wall fireplaces..overall great stay. Only areas for improvement were no fridge in the room ( but community one in common area), the walls are thin so you can hear everything above you and next to you ( and I mean everything;)), the room was light at night because the shades weren’t room darkening and had no curtains. The location was great, quick walk to town. Great restaurant across street called the Town. Grocery store quick trip down street and Bad Martha brewery was close by , great beer!! Great weekend!!!
