The Ships Inn has a great restaurant in the basement which is cosy and romantic serving excellent food
Rooms are nice and cosy. All in different colors. They are spacious. The service is extremely friendly. A good breakfast with homemmade but a little greasy items is served in the morning. The Ships Inn is perfectly located few blocks away from the downtown area. It is fully furnished in Nantucket style.
The cosy lobby area can be a place for a break where coffee and cake is served in the afternoon.

The Innkeeper was quite relaxed about formalities such as check in/out time, the staff was friendly, the rooms were pretty, although our room's shower/bathtub arrangement was a little "quaint" (a freestanding bathtub with a shower curtain). The restaurant is well-regarded, although we didn't eat there, and the breakfast was a variety of home baked quiche-y or cake-like things or granola and cereal. Yummy. All in all, a very nice place.

I stayed here this past weekend with my boyfriend and his parents. We all had a wonderful time and loved the Ships inn and the innkeepers. Marylou was very sweet and sent us such a nice note when we made our reservation and remembered that we were coming in for a race (months later).

The rooms we very nice and the beds very comfortable. It was great being just a couple of blocks from the main part of town, but far enough off the main streets that it was nice and quiet.

The breakfast was wonderful - there was so much to choose from. They also served lemonade in the afternoons, that was great.

Overall, I think we will be back again next year and really enjoyed our stay at the Ships Inn

We've been coming to Nantucket for the past 10 years. My husband and I stayed here this summer(June ) while the grandkids stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's house down the street. The Inn is situated on a perfect side street perpendicular to Main Street. It is easy to walk to Main Street, the restaurants, and the Harbor. The front parlor is charming - "Nantucket Style" with period antiques and nautical and floral themes . The rooms are nicely furnished, light and bright. Since this is a converted Whaler's House, the stairs to the Upstairs Bedrooms are steep. If you have trouble with stairs this may be an issue. Our bathroom shower would lose water flow , and turn cold if other showers or water faucets were on. The Continental Breakfast was decent. The owners said Hello every morning ,and were as pleasant as could be. Overall it was a nice place to stay on Nantucket. Parking is on the street and can be hard to find which is typical on many streets around town. The price was easier on the wallet than some others, too.
