Nantucket Hotel Deals
"We loved our stay at Hotel Pippa, the bed was perfect, the shower excellent and the coffee, breakfast was very very good! We loved the location too."
"It's a great location to walk into town. I like the convenience of having a nice continental breakfast before heading out for the day. Having beach chairs, towels and an umbrella to to take to the beach was great. We were able to always reach out to find answers to our silly questions and if we got the answering machine she called us back. Our room was on the third floor and not spacious but when in Nantucket the last place you should be spending time is in your room. Would stay here...
"Great location and super friendly and helpful staff made our stay wonderful"
"Location and pool"
