We had a wonderful stay. We were able to use their complimentary bikes to get around the town easily. We were offered turn down service with chocolate. We had an amazing view from our room of the harbor.

8/10 Very good
17 September 2024
As we were in the Inn section of the hotel, there was no dining facility or bar area to relax in.
We went to sit by the pool and the pool was in dire need of a good cleaning. It was very cloudy and greenish. Needed to be shocked.

The hotel looked a little bit tired in a few areas Carpets needed to be cleaned some things like that. We always enjoy staying with you. We really enjoyed the pool area and of course the bike service is always fantastic

White Elephant is the best hotel period! Even though it may be more expensive, the price is worth it! Everything was perfection.

Room rates are the equivalent of European coastal hotels ( Capri) without the amenities of European hotels and without the hospitalities. Pool is not impressive.
Residence ballroom should be converted to dining. Plastic container in Residence lobby for breakfast pastries is minimal and not deserving of the White Elephant.
Loose bricks not maintained in steps from Residences and require maintenance in addition to elevator rug which is dirty/stained. Cushions on outside chairs require cleaning.
-Hotel grounds are not impressive- especially compared to Wauwinet grounds.
Disappointed in value received. Could be so much better!
Positives are transportation offered and friendly front desk staff.

We wanted a nice hotel close to the downtown. We stayed in one of the little bungalows. It was very quiet and private and luxurious.

I have been to Nantucket many times. This was my first stay at the White Elephant with my family of 5. The hotel was wonderful , spacious with excellent staff. It is in the perfect area very close to town but still quiet and peaceful.
Their Brandt point restaurant was excellent.
I will definitely return in the near future
Thank you White Elephant for a wonderful vacation .
