Pequot Hotel

Stayed here for a night. Very impressed by the attention to details from the organic and paper packaged toiletry to providing gluten free breakfast option. Located in the residential part of town with short walking distance to the town. The staffs are extremely friendly and they are clearly proud of their job and want to provide the best experience for visitors. When we arrived, the reception area greeted us with coffee, tea and chocolate chip cookies. Two thumps up!

This little hotel is so cute. The receptionist was extremely accommodating upon checking where she was able to give is recommendations for shopping and restaurants. They also had a little cheese and wine party on the front porch right when we checked in. Breakfast, which is included with your stay, is really awesome too (had things like almond milk and gluten free bread) which a lot of hotels don’t have. It’s also a quick walk to the popular destinations in Martha’s Vineyard. Well definitely be back.

We arrived in Oak Bluffs at the beginning of a wildly wet week, and were so pleased to step into the warm environment of the Pequot Hotel. The hotel is just under a half-​mile from the Steamship Authority ferry or bus stop, which is perfectly walkable, but if it’s raining AND windy, be smarter than us and get a cab because the walk along Ocean St is brutal with the sea gusts. The hotel/​BnB is located in a mostly residential area in the midst of a series of summer homes with wraparound porches. It’s mostly quiet, though our first night was on the warm side so we could hear a house across the street party it up on their porch through the early night.
We stayed on the top floor of the annex, which is across an open patio from the main building. The room was super quaint and cozy — the size was between small/​medium (about 12×15?), but a soaring A-​frame ceiling helped it feel bigger. The mattresses felt firm and comfortable, there was an A/​C window unit and ceiling fan, a small open clothes rod, and a small bathroom with complete toiletries and a hair dryer (note that the shower — no tub — is pretty small, and tall dudes, watch your head on the shower rod!). As management notes, there are no TVs in the annex, which we had no issue with since we wanted to get out and about. Plus, there was a strong and steady wifi signal so we could always stream shows off our laptops if needed. We could only hear our neighbors a few times, and wore ear plugs at night only to avoid the sound of the whipping flag pole during the windy night. A continental breakfast was included (muffins, scones, quiche, bagels, oatmeal, cereal, granola, yogurt, etc) and served from a small dining room in the main building. The main inside lobby always had friendly guests, and in the afternoon had hot cider, cookies, and gingerbread. Board games were also available, but we didn’t make use of that. The porch and outside seating areas also looked great — perhaps on a drier, sunnier future trip! Staff were always pleasant, proactively attentive, and friendly; and you can tell they took pride in making the Pequot a home away from home for guests!
The hotel is also about a 5 – 10 minute walk to most of the downtown village area restaurants, bars, and shops. For the location, price, service, and extra touches, we were happy with our stay and would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

We enjoyed out visit to the Vineyard and found Pequot to be a great spot. It’s tucked away on a quiet street one block from the beach and about six blocks from the downtown area.
The people at Pequot are amazing. All were friendly and willing to offer many suggestions and directions. If visiting the Vineyard again, I would stay at Pequot.
Pros: quiet area, close to beach, walk to town, walk to bus, walk to marina, near Gingerbread houses, cozy, serves decent breakfast spread, refreshments throughout day (coffee, tea, lemonade, cookies), great people, outdoor patios/​deck, outdoor shower, TV, mini refrigerator, complimentary bottled water, and full toiletry basket.
Cons: Thin walls and small room.

Great location, near alot of restaurants and stores. Very nice staff, and a reasonable price. Only con I would say is there is no parking lot just street parking.

The hotel makes you feel like your at home with the cute rooms, rocking chairs on porch and the tea and cookies. All the staff were very friendly and they took pride in whatever they did. The location is a three minute walk to beach and a five minute walk to Circuit Ave. I felt very relaxed and I will definitely return here for my second stay on the Vineyard!

This place was a nice value. Although the building is fairly old it looks nice inside and they must repaint it every winter. The rooms are rather small and cozy. Our room did not have a tv or a desk but there was a wifi connection. The bed was comfy and the shower was nice. The staff was warm and friendly and the place had a good energy (an underrated consideration in my opinion). Parking was a bit of a problem and upon arrival we had to park around the corner and down the street as there is no parking lot. Do take advantage of their breakfast which is included. It was an impressive assortment and everything was good. I especially loved the granola style cereals with all the extras you could add like raisins and blueberries. When my wife and I return to Oak Bluffs we will not hesitate to stay here.

Pros: Nicely kept grounds, quiet and definitely close (Within easy walking distance) to Circuit Avenue and the beach. They did serve a complimentary hot breakfast, which had the same items every day but was better than a standard continental. Hot cider, lemonade & cookies after 2pm was a nice touch.
Cons: Did not realize how small the room would be. Our 19-​month son came with us, and with the pack & play in the room, there was no room to get around the bed. Being that we didn’t spend all that much time in time in the room, it wasn’t a huge deal, but I was expecting something a bit bigger.
I see others got cheaper rates than us, so maybe shop around a bit before booking? We paid $ 189 a night (Before tax), pre-​booking 2 months prior for our stay at the end of Sept, which I would assume is the off-​season. Another review on here said they got a room for $ 109 memorial day weekend, which does seem like a very good rate.
All-​in-​all, I would keep this in mind when we return to MV.

Stayed four nights in August. Hotel is a neat place. Service from all staff was outstanding. That they provided beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels was great. Also, the day we checked out they still provided us with beach stuff plus had available nice bathrooms for us to use despite having technically having checked out.
Free breakfast was more than satisfying. Afternoon chocalate chip cookies, iced tea and lemonade was great.
Though our room was small the bed was super comfy. Bathroom was nice.
I’d not hesitate to stay again at the place, but given how stupidly crowded the island was it’s unlikely that I would ever visit again.

Stayed for two nights in early June. If I was judging just on the room, it would be a two to three star review. Our room was small and basic — just enough space for a queen bed and a few bags. It was perfectly clean, the bathroom is updated, the AC was so-​so. So nothing remarkable…
But the amenities and staff that go along with the hotel were fantastic. The included continental breakfast was extensive, fresh and very satisfying. Mid-​day lemonade, iced tea and cookies were lovely. The Friday evening wine and cheese on the porch was a great way to set the casual tone. And the ability to borrow beach chairs and towels was a huge plus.
Very centrally located, an easy walk from the ferry and to town, and the staff offered great recommendations, we’re welcoming and unobtrusive but readily available.

First time staying at this B&B and I was extremely happy with my entire stay ! They all were extremely friendly ! (The entire staff) This place was clean and comfortable. They had a great breakfast included in the price and they offered afternoon cookies with Iced Tea and Lemonade. Coffee and Tea complimentary all day. I thought this place was a great value and I am looking forward to going back in a few months. Great Location /​only about a 4 – 5 minute walk to the Hy-​Line boats, and a 2 – 3 minute walk to all restaurants and shops.

For the price you pay, this hotel is in a great location and a good value if you’re traveling on a budget. We came here for quick honeymoon and upon arrival, they provided complimentary wine and chocolates in our room. The downside is that the hotel rooms and bathrooms are very small. There’s little counter space in the rooms which was a little inconvenient. Aside from that, they had excellent BeesKind product in the bathroom which I’m a fan of, complimentary breakfast, fresh baked cookies in the afternoon, and tea all day long!
We walked all around Oaks Bluff and the beach that’s right down the road.
Overall, good deal for the price of $ 109 a night.

My wife and I have lived our whole lives in NE and never have been to Martha’s Vineyard. We both managed to find some time and located the Pequot Hotel on line mostly because of the availability. We arrived by ferry on Friday and walked over to the Pequot which was about a 10 Minuit walk down along the ocean. It is about 1 block from the ocean so don’t hold your breath for views. They do have a nice porch with rockers for kicking back and relaxing. We arrived and were met by friendly staff who let us leave our bags in the corner of the main room because we arrived before the 4p check in time. My wife was nervous about leaving the bags but you have to do what you have to do and when we came back several hours later from exploring ever thing was right where we left it. The hotel had signs up for a porch party on Friday night with wine and cheese. The wife thought it might be a bit hokey but we went, had some wine and met two other couples and had a great time. Our room was in the main building and was small and simple and could have been a little more beach themed with its decorations but sufficed. I thought the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was small clean and had a stand up shower. The continental breakfast was average, just a hint get there early because things go fast and didn’t seem to get refreshed. The fruit was gone when we arrived at 9a but we managed to get some quiche which was yummy. All in all the Pequot’s staff was great and the hotel was a good place to stay when you get to the island and a view of the ocean isn’t a must.

This would not be my first choice of lodgings… The old cliché rings true– you get what you pay for!!!
My sis and I stayed at the Pequot Hotel over this past Labor Day weekend and chose this hotel due to it’s location. Aside from the front porch & it’s local, that’s ALL this establishment has going for it.
Our room sported two little twin beds that barely fit our suitcases or anything else, for that matter. The bathroom (aside from it being a mess) might have been a cell block… not to mention the shower curtain fell down anytime one of use took a shower. The floors/​carpets were a mess.
One morning we found a cockroach in the bathroom and it remained there for at least a day… HAD to test whether or not housekeeping would do anything. Our theory proved us right. We disgarded the creepy little thing after we couldn’t stand looking at in any longer.
Most of the staff were friendly but we did have a couple of people who shouldn’t be in the service industry.
Regardless of our lodgings, we have a fabulous trip! If you are going to stay at the Pequot, plan wisely and limit your time at the hotel as much as possible. We never took them up on breakfast or afternoon cookies because our mission was to roam the island and escape from our dorm room.

I fell in love with the porch the second we arrived! The atmosphere is very welcoming — it’s the perfect home away from home! Every staff member was extremely nice/​friendly and they did an excellent job accommodating us & baby. Good location– Just a short walk to the beach and town shops.

What a great place! The management was outstanding! (It’s under new management.) We had some confusion with the room and it was handled beautifully! The fresh cookies make the stay here so worth it! Breakfast was great. (Buffet with oatmeal bar, fruit, fresh scones… simple, but delicious.)

It’s a great place. If you’ve never been to MV, The Pequoit is a good place to get your bearings. It’s on a quiet street, up the hill from the ferry landing, mixed in among single-​family houses. It’s walking distance to downtown Oak Bluffs, and the bus that would take you to the rest of the island. Cute little room. Terrific staff. They really care about your stay. Nice breakfast included, coffee, lemonade and cookies in the afternoon, and a front porch to sit on and be an islander! A terrific first MV experience. We’ll be back.

In my opinion, this place is definitely an example of getting what you pay for versus a real value.
While the prices are inexpensive for the area you are not getting much.
Rooms and furnishings are old, outdated window A/​C units labor to keep the air barely acceptable, staff has an attitude and is definitely NOT hospitable.
When I made our reservation for July 2011 in February 2011 and mentioned that I would like to use my AARP card for the 10% discount listed on the Pequot Hotel website, I was told that my credit card would be charged for the full price and that I could present my AARP card upon check in and a credit would be issued. Upon check in I was told that the person who took my reservation in February should NOT have told me that. The Front Desk Clerk in need of an attitude adjustment went on to explain that the Peqout Hotel did indeed honor the AARP discount but not during high season. When I objected nicely, I was told that the person who took my reservation would be working the following day and I could speak with HER then. EXCUSE ME? How’s that for service?
Do your self a favor, pay a bit more and get a lot more service and accommodation.

Clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. Located close to the OB terminal on a quite street. My only complaint is I wish the room shades were darker. We woke up to a very bright room. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others as well.
