As we were in the Inn section of the hotel, there was no dining facility or bar area to relax in. We went to sit by the pool and the pool was in dire need of a good cleaning. It was very cloudy and greenish. Needed to be shocked.

Room rates are the equivalent of European coastal hotels ( Capri) without the amenities of European hotels and without the hospitalities. Pool is not impressive. Residence ballroom should be converted to dining. Plastic container in Residence lobby for breakfast pastries is minimal and not deserving of the White Elephant. Loose bricks not maintained in steps from Residences and require maintenance in addition to elevator rug which is dirty/stained. Cushions on outside chairs require cleaning. -Hotel grounds are not impressive- especially compared to Wauwinet grounds. Disappointed in value received. Could be so much better! Positives are transportation offered and friendly front desk staff.

I have been to Nantucket many times. This was my first stay at the White Elephant with my family of 5. The hotel was wonderful , spacious with excellent staff. It is in the perfect area very close to town but still quiet and peaceful. Their Brandt point restaurant was excellent. I will definitely return in the near future Thank you White Elephant for a wonderful vacation .
