Mansion House Inn On Martha’s Vineyard

Heavenly heaven in Martha’s Vinyard! Do make sure to make an effort to stay at The Mansion House Inn. The crew is amazing, the décor is comforting and location is a major plus! Especially, if you’re traveling on the ferry to Vineyard Haven which is 4 blocks from The Mansion House Inn. There is no need for any improvement however few things should change immediately for safety reasons only. First & most importantly, do not put any wires in bathroom sink next to each other. Especially, the blow dryer. Especially, if children are staying the room (see picture example). Secondly, do not put the curtains right next to the air conditioning/​heater (see picture). And last but not least, the cleaning crew should start cleaning the rooms as they should since the bed covers are dirty at all times and much more (see picture example). Remember, everyone notices these problems which brings major concerns. So we’re pretty sure, The Mansion House Inn will take this matters into consideration. We know we did.

The top (4^th) floor room view of the harbor is great, only surpassed by the 5^th floor rooftop lounge with it’s 360^ view. Close to all that Main St. VH has to offer (tourist type shops). The room had a bath/​shower and a separate shower. Spacious, clean, well kept with a powerful medium size fridge next to a convenient deep sink. We did not care for the bed, the non-​functional fireplace and tiny balcony, else MH would have earned 5 stars.
Don’t bother bringing a car, buses and cabs work well. Traffic is a problem.

My fave hotel on the Vineyard. Clean rooms, nicely appointed. An easy walk from the ferry, located at the beginning of Main Street in Vineyard Haven with quaint shops, restaurants and Stop and Shop nearby. It’s a «dry» town so stock up in Oak Bluffs close-​by. No beach area but pretty view of the harbor on the roof deck, which you can see live on their website’s webcam.

Great location, fabulous room. Staff is very accommodating and helpful. Tillman at the front desk was the BEST!

Mansion House Inn is a very well kept up and some parts are recently renovated. We stayed in a room that was in a cluster of newer rooms accessible right near the front desk. The 2^nd of our two nights a couple with a small child and a dog were in the next room and they were not loud but I know the Inn was nowhere near capacity so it felt kind of annoying to have people next to us. (with a child and a dog #firstworldproblems) You can go up on the roof and have free lemonade. The view is nice although in general what I learned on this my first visit to MV in general is I would rather stay in Oak Bluffs. Edgartown is a nightmare to park in and Vineyard Haven feels kind of transient since it is right by the ferry. We took a yoga class Saturday with Bonnie and that was a nice experience. (included) The gym equipment looks well taken care of-​I believe many people in the area belong so it was crowded. The parking situation is a little hard to get to and tight. It was nice overall but I believe I was expecting more.

Great people, nice rooms! The rooms have a trundle bed in addition to a queen size which is a plus for families. It also has a rooftop deck with a great view of the harbor! It is within walking distance of much of downtown Tisbury, and has a bike shed. At night, it gets very quiet, which is surprising considering its proximity to downtown.

Very good health club with helpful, knowledgeable staff. Breakfast is ok, especially if you’re on the go. Good location if you like to be in the midst of things. You can walk to/​from the ferry and many busy spots in Vineyard Haven.
We stayed in the suite. They claim it sleeps 4. Don’t believe it. King bed (comfy) and pull out couch which was totally inadequate. You might as well be sleeping directly on the springs. If you’re going to spend this much money, stay somewhere else.

We loved this hotel! Had been to MV many times and this was our first at Mansion House and we would definitely return. The inn was clean, room was beautiful and spacious with an unbelievably comfortable bed, the staff was very, very friendly and accommodating, the breakfast was great. The location is very convenient as you can walk from the ferry and around all of downtown Vineyard Haven. The pool could use a little sprucing up but we enjoyed it all the same. Price seemed very reasonable too.

My friends and I were staying at the inn a few weeks ago enjoying one of our many trips to Marthas Vineyard while we were there it was a rainy day and decided to take advantage of the on site spa, even though our friends on island suggested we go else where. I got a massage and my friend had got her nails done. My therapist a blonde girl and my friends nail tech a woman with short dark hair (we can’t remember their names) were fantastic her nails looked great the polish was perfect and my massage was lovely and she was able to tell me which muscles were tight and stretches to help! Though it’s the island it was still pretty pricey but we were fine with that considering it is a spa environment. As far as services go they were well executed the down side to our experience was the woman at the reception desk seemed very irritated by us and came off cold the other part that seemed strange was when my friend was waiting for her nails to dry the front desk woman was speaking in another language to the employees and what seemed like maybe a friend? I just think for an $ 80 Mani pedi and $ 120 massage they wouldn’t be speaking in another language making it feel more like a mall nail salon. It made my friend uncomfortable. If we decide to stay at the mansion house again and want to get services done I think I’d try somewhere else which is a shame because the services were good I just don’t like being treated like a burden and rushed at the desk.

This a nice hotel with decent amenities and accommodating service. It is in a pretty good location with easy access to the steam boat ferry. The rooms are pretty spacious and very clean. The one gripe I had with the advertisement of the hotel is there description of their «Harbor views». Their Harbor views consist of looking out and seeing a telephone pole directly in front of a view that trees and building and just when your sick of looking at that at the edge of the horizon you pump into the sliver of ocean views they described on line.

Spa has become shabby, staff distracted and constantly looking at each other. Seemed to be some issue going on in the massage area? My gel manicure is uneven and my pedicure messy around the edges. But no time to complain as I had to be somewhere. Will not be back.

For the Hotel — great location and easy to find but finding thr parking lot is another story. They give you a map but there are no street names just a pic to direct you. No landmarks on this map so we drove in circles. Beware the base on double occupancy and will charge for additional people. This place doesnt feel restful as it seems that whenever we wanted to go explore the pool or fitness center or move around the hotel or use the elevator, then you have to wait for the front desk staff to let you in or use their key to allow access.
The Spa– lets just say save your money. Warm greeting and that was the best part. Nothing spa like about it. No extra pampering. No offer of tea, water ir coffee. A CND shellac french manicure for 50. Since I have been a lic manicurist for more than 10 years, they are selling the idea of a real shellac manicure and not just gel polish.not. should have just waited til I got home but was planning a day at the spa for my mom and the nails was a trial run. Just dont disappoint yourself… go somewhere else.
No feeling so relaxed as I hoped.

A very short visit.
Unfortunately our schedule did not allow us to stay long in Vineyard Haven so my review is abbreviated. It was late in the season (Thanksgiving week), cold, windy and a Sunday.
With all this, our visit was very pleasant. When arriving at the room, we were greeted by very friendly and helpful people. The room was clean, cozy appointed with a fireplace, balcony and a view of the harbor. It was quiet and very comfortable. After a walk around town, we spent a little time in the lounge. While the fireplace was not real, it was a nice room. One of the hotel employees was nice enough to share some restaurant recommendations and chat about the area. The morning in-​room coffee was not bad for «in room coffee». The grab and go breakfast was home made! Not something you see at grab and go.
We wanted to stay a while and enjoy the town so we were pleasantly surprised the front desk personnel were more than happy to lock up our luggage so we could do just that.
All in all, I would have enjoyed the health spa and some treatments, but we were not there long enough. I would recommend this hotel.

We really likes this bed & breakfast style hotel. It is very clean, the staff was very nice and it was centrally located in Vineyard Haven. They have a great health club and spa with a huge indoor pool. The room was very spacious and it had a nice homey feel to it. I’d recommend and definitely wold stay there again.

Beautiful place. The rooms were clean, spacious and bright. We even had a tiny balcony. The staff was friendly and helpful. Private parking which is a major plus on the Vineyard. The fact that the locals used the gym there made it feel even warmer. Centrally located to a lot. Black dog and Motts all within walking distance. My husband and I both love photography. The rooftop provided us with exceptional views… the sunrise and ocean views were breathtaking. I look forward to my next visit. :)

Last week, my kids and I spent a rainy day at the pool, and my friend and I booked in at the spa for mani/​pedes. It’s a lovely, calm place, and everyone who works there is really nice. The nail technician did a good job, but I wouldn’t really recommend them for the mani/​pede. What impressed me was the resident hair stylist, Robin. I impulsively asked for a quick cut and she was so good I went out to the pool and dragged my 12 year old, shaggy son for a cut too. Robin is a hidden gem. My hands and feet chipped far too soon, but my hair still looks awesome.

This is for the Spa only, we did not stay in the hotel.
Truth be told, I have very mixed feelings about reviewing this place (which is a first for me).
I guess I will start with the décor: Think nail salon meets neighborhood hair salon. Nothing overly plush or spa-​like about this place. They try for a low end spa feel in the back room where the massages are but again it feels very haphazard. The bathroom is clean but no locker room, no shower. The room where the massage is performed is the only place that remotely feels like a spa.
The massage: I had the 80 minute massage. The therapist was friendly and asked me all the right questions. She also did the best she could to fulfill my requests. The massage felt reminiscent of a chair massage. Not awful but definitely not great. Also, she oiled me up like I was going to be modeling in a body building magazine. I desperately needed a shower after the service.
I don’t think I would come back or recommend.

Love this place, clean, great location and reasonable rates.
There are three other good reasons to stay here 1) workout facilities — everything you could need. 2) Zephyr restaurant has very good food 3) spa with facials, massage etc
I can’t think of any negatives, and i will stay there again

The spa has really gone down hill. Was here in 2010 and it was much better. Got a pedicure and noticed the file she used was super old. Limited colors too.
She gave a good foot and leg massage though. Doesn’t make up for the fact that she got red nail polish all over my big toe and it looks like I kicked something.

Though nothing about my stay was terrible, I definitely expected a bit more from Mansion House. It touts itself as a luxury hotel, but while I think it’s probably nice for families, I wouldn’t recommend it for couples who are looking for a romantic getaway. It seems a bit run down and the décor is seriously lacking. The best example of this would be the large framed photograph of flowers potted in various juice cartons which hung on the wall in our room. We stared at that one for a long while.
The size of the room was fine, the location was nice (especially if you don’t have a car), and the staff was helpful, but I didn’t find there to be anything particularly special about the place.
I think because I was expecting, perhaps wrongly, a luxury hotel I was surprised, but it’s not terrible for a regular, standard hotel.
