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.

Peaceful elegance without pretentiousness. If you know the difference. Beds and pillows are world class. The rooms appointed with real antique furnishings. Not cheap knockoffs. The gardens are relaxing and you MUST dine in the Terrace Restaurant. Breakfast of course. Dinner is essential. A trip to another place, not too far, yet just far enough. You can fly your jet in. Or motor your yacht. Or just take the car ferry like we do. Just make your reservation well in advance. If you want peace and quiet without the outside world, this is your home away from home.

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.

It was also nice because we did not have to rush on our departure day. The walk was so close. The front desk hostess was very friendly and boy does she work long hard hours! We arrived early on the ferry and lucked out because our room was ready! That was a really nice surprise! It was a bit tricky to find our room in the renovated barn but worth the hunt. We had the cutest patio! Not every room has one so snag it up if it's available. We sat out in the morning with our coffee. Complimentary breakfast. Wonderful coffee and sparkling water on tap! Warm cookies in the afternoon! Seriously we could smell them from outside! Our room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom shower was large however the bathroom was tiny. Only one person could get ready. No problem because they had other mirrors in the room. I would definitely recommend!

Walking through the front door feels less like checking into a hotel and more like arriving at your own beautiful home in the heart of Edgartown. We were welcomed by the warm, attentive staff with delicious homemade baked goods and refreshing fresh lemonade, immediately making us feel at home. The rooms are beautifully designed, blending timeless New England charm with elegant, whimsical touches. Our room was incredibly spacious and thoughtfully appointed, complete with a charming kitchenette that made it feel as though we had the house all to ourselves. My dog is like my child, so he travels everywhere with me, and I especially appreciated how pet-friendly the Hob Knob is. The adorable dog-themed lamps added a fun touch, and my pup was thrilled to find Milk-Bones waiting for him in the room. Every detail reflected genuine thought and care, from the luxurious Frette linens to the Molton Brown toiletries. Nothing felt overlooked. The location is perfect--just a short walk to all the wonderful shops, restaurants, and charm of Main Street in Edgartown. At the same time, having an on-site parking lot made it easy to explore the rest of Martha's Vineyard by car. Breakfast each morning was absolutely delicious, and by the end of our stay, we found ourselves wishing we had booked a few more nights. The Hob Knob offers the perfect combination of luxury, comfort, and hospitality, and I can't wait to return.

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

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.
