Staff was super helpful, we got there early and they were able to store our luggage so we could go and explore the island. They checked in with us shortly after we got to our room to ensure we were comfortable and didn’t need anything. Will definitely stay here again.

The staff was incredible, and the location is perfect. My only concern is that the room had a very bad smell. I'm not sure if it was mold, but it didn't smell good.

The staff was poorly trained and unhelpful. There was nothing in the hotel literature and announcements that stated that there are no elevators in the main building necessitating walking up 4-5 flights of stairs with luggage. When told by my wife that I was am recovering from 8 month health ordeal, the staff’s response was begrudging and inadequate.
The hotel room walls are paper thin and ineffectual. I was kept up for two nights due to a loud occupant next door. The staff washed its hands on this by pointing out that because we booked on Expedia, there was nothing the hotel could do.
The rooms were cheap and Spartan. Scarce hotel facilities. Overall not a good experience
This is our second year celebrating my wife’s birthday at Summercamp. The room was spacious and very well laid out with great views of the harbor and the ocean. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the room was clean. The staff at Summercamp are all very friendly and helpful, and they left a gift in the room which was a nice touch. We will be back next year!
Not plush but very nice and well located. Quiet enough, comfortable enough. Staff was super nice and helpful.

Hi Terri,Happy to read that our property's location helped you to take full advantage of the local sites and attractions and we trust that you have officially found your new Oak Bluffs home base. Hurry back!
only negative is the web site gave the impression the room was bigger and updated.

Hi Domenic,While our hotel was reimagined to reflect the rustic, retro, and nostalgic touches that any former camper (or former child) can embrace, we do understand if some design details were not quite what you were expecting. Thank you for sharing this feedback with us and we hope to welcome you again one day soon. Until next time!
Hello Nefiola,Thanks for making the trip over to Oak Bluffs. We're glad your time with us earned a perfect score.When the island calls again, you know where to find us.All the best.
It's the best place to stay on the island. Convenient bus service to Edgartown and Vinyard Haven. Literally walking distance to everything in Oak Bluffs. Remember there's no elevator as this is a historic hotel. We stayed on the 4th floor but really didn't mind going up and down the stairs.

Booked this boutique hotel at the last minute. Didn’t have high expectations!!! But upon arrival we knew we had made a great choice!!! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was small but clean and quite adorable. And the location was everything!!!! This will forever be my go to when I visit the Vineyard.
