But, it was hostess, MaryGail, who made our stay unforgettable. We will always associate Martha's Vineyard with memories of her graciousness, generosity, warm laughter and beautiful spirit. She makes you feel welcomed and at home, as if you're visiting a friend. Bravo to The Christopher for having such a wonderful person as their manager. The only caveat to booking at The Christopher is the very steep narrow staircase to the upper floors. A second handrail would be a good safety measure. These stairs would prohibit some from being able to access the upstairs rooms.

Our room was located on the 3rd floor with a balcony which made watching sunrises and sunsets purely magical. There's so much historic charm on the property and we can't wait to go back and bring our families. Oh and don't skip the daily homemade chocolate chip cookies. Delicious doesn't even come close to describing them. Thank you for enhancing and making our first trip to Martha's Vineyard so memorable.

Awesome toiletries The room has a fridge The window AC unit worked well The room was spacious They have bar right next to the pool Cookies, Milk and tea from 5-9. Keurig in room In the mornings they have muffins and coffee in the lobby. Cons: Shower doesn't have a door it's hard to gauge the water No elevator We arrived via Lyft around 915pm. We were immediately greeted and checked in. They had just finished their milk and cookie hour, but the lady was nice enough to get me some cookies to snack on since we were starving. The hotel doesn't have an elevator, but it's only three floors and the staff assisted with the bags The room was big and clean. The bed was comfortable. The toiletries were great. They lathered well and smelled great. The room didn't look dated like some of the reviews stated, but I think I read they had just been remodeled. I definitely recommend this hotel. Don't look anywhere else. Tip: There's a few liquor stores nearby if you're looking for inexpensive drinks There's a fast food sea food restaurant (Quarterdeck) right across the street from the bar that serves food late into the night

I normally don't post bad reviews, especially during a pandemic. Pandemic or not some things I can…read morenot let go. If I could give this place negative or no stars I would. Me and my fiancé just had an intimate wedding in Edgartown. Our family and toddler stood at this hotel since our hotel did not allow kids. Never had I felt staff lack hospitality, common sense or courtesy like the staff at the Kelly House. One example, my dad (who is blind) had just checked out at 11 am and he left his bags at the lobby. At 12 noon he wanted to use a restroom was denied access since "he checked out". Was told to "find somewhere outside that has a bathroom". Never asked to help with luggage. Never opened doors. Never made eye contact or a hello, or a good morning. Continental breakfast normally consist of more than two items. In this case it was burnt coffee and some sweet muffin for which you have to ask for one by one. If your in a group of 4 or 5 and one person asks for a muffin don't you think you should ask if others from the group want any? So let's say you're an introvert who doesn't care about courtesy or a false advertised continental breakfast, or any form of hospitality. You just want a clean/nice place to sleep and leave. Well this place is not it. You have to tell the staff to clean. They only cleaned our room once during a 4 night stay.

When I first made the reservation here, I was not completely familiar with the geography of the…read moreisland. I was a bit hesitant afterwards, as their location in Edgartown is several miles away from the ferry terminal. However, after our stay, this was not a concern. Edgartown is somewhat quieter and a bit less 'touristy' to me (though the town largely caters to tourists). One thing that drew me to this property also was the expense vs. ratings. Many other similarly (or lower) rated places were much more expensive. It is all relative on the island, but this, to me, was a good value. I was a bit apprehensive also about getting checked in, as our ferry reservations were such that we would barely arrive by their 5 p.m. front-office closing time. They confirmed that they could leave the key in an envelope for us, but that always seems slightly problematic. However, it all worked out and we did arrive at 5 p.m. The innkeeper was assisting other guests so our key was in an envelope anyway, but she showed up about 3 minutes later to ensure everything was fine and took time to explain anything extra about the room. The site is about 1 block from the edge of the town's commercial district, so walking anywhere in town is easy. Parking is not expansive, but you just need to park parallel to a fence adjacent to your room. This was never a difficulty while we were there. The area was quiet also; not much noise to disturb you. The room itself was well equipped. There was a small kitchenette and a dinette table, along with a sitting area (with a fold-out couch). When the couch was folded out, the room was a bit cramped (but that is when you're sleeping, mostly). The couch-bed involved an air mattress that was easy to inflate. The adjoining bedroom was also a bit small, but adequate. Everything was clean and appeared well-maintained. In all, the only limiting factor here was room-size, but I was also unwilling to pay $100 (or more) a night for more space. It was a slight compromise, but worth it. If I returned to the island, I'd consider staying here again.

Overpriced, extremely rude front desk worker named Jack, musky antique store stench in rooms. The…read moreproperty looks like a story book, and oh so beautiful. It's probably my fault for assuming such an old Inn wouldn't reek like a filthy old antique store. Our suite, The Coach House was overwhelming overran by mold/mildew, the only way to mask the stench was to set the A/C to extremely cold settings throughout our 5 day stay. This was actually a serious problem for me because I have severe allergies and asthma... I chose not to address this issue to management, as management had proved to be completely unhelpful, and unaccommodating to us during our entire stay... so I figured why bother. Unfortunately all of our belongings we had with us (suitcases, clothes, shoes, toiletry bags, flight bags, purses), and the thousand(s) of dollars we spent on souvenirs, and gifts purchased throughout the 5 trip, all came home with us reeking of mold, I'm livid. Don't even get me started on experience of staying on the property, guests are not encouraged to socialize with other guests, guests are not allowed to have outdoor conversations without getting asked to leave... or have the inn keeper show up to see whats going on and just linger around as your trying to enjoy the outdoors because your room smells so badly. My welcome letter stated: "For ALL of our Inn guests to enjoy, we offer the living rooms with the fireplaces in the Main Inn, and the Summer House porch." We were specifically banned from using the common porch, we received two written letters telling us so. Along with the common porch being roped off and a typed out sign stating the porch was only for the rooms in the Summer House to enjoy. This happened after we checked in and specifically asked Cole (the gentleman that checked us in and gave us the tour), if smoking cigars were allowed outside on the property, in which Cole stated anywhere outside on the property at any of the seating areas a cigar could be enjoyed, Cole went on to show me the Summer House porch, stating a cigar could be enjoyed at those seating areas if we'd like, because he said it's such a nice area. After the fact, we were asked by Jack to move off of the Summer House patio that very same evening when my partner wanted to enjoy a cigar before we went in for the night. Later during our stay we received a hand letter stating the we could use a real-estate office porch to sit at, and the Summer House porch was roped off. We paid for the most expensive suite on the property at $1,750 per night, this is not the kind of treatment or living conditions one should ever expect. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, and you couldn't pay me to stay here again. If I was a person of color, this place would be sued into oblivion for discrimination, contractual breach, and selective enforcement. According the Department of Justice, singling out a paying guest from using a listed common area can be considered unlawful discrimination if the action is based on a protected characteristic (such as race, religion, sex, disability, or national origin) or violates the equal enjoyment terms of your contract. When It Is Unlawful Discrimination Protected Class Status: If the guest is singled out because of their race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability, or national origin, it violates federal civil rights laws (like Title II for public accommodations) and state human rights acts. Contractual Breach: A paying guest enters an agreement that includes access to advertised amenities. Denying access to a listed common area without a neutral, safety-based justification breaks that service agreement. Selective Enforcement: Applying a common area rule to only one specific person while allowing everyone else to use it creates strong legal evidence of disparate treatment or bias.
