Had a wonderful stay in Martha's Vineyard at the Franklin Hotel! We were fortunate enough to be able to book the back cottage, which was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The room was a free standing building behind the main building that was tastefully decorated both inside and out. The whole complex had lovely landscaping and appeared to be well maintained, although we did have a small issue securing the back door lock after stepping out onto the tiny back porch area of the cottage. The main building had 2 floors of rooms centered around a commons area with a shared kitchenette. The only issue I would foresee in the commons area would be a shared refrigerator that would likely be insufficient if the hotel was at capacity and all guests wanted to make use of it. The facility was nicely located, less than a 15 minute walk into town, and there was a bike rental shop right next door if you wanted to further explore the island. There was also Bad Martha's, a brewery that also served some tasty pizza, and a fantastic breakfast and lunch spot called Lucky Hanks right next door. Only minor issue we had was on check-in, the Franklin does not have a front desk. I was sent a message to download and app that would be used to access my room, but apparently I was not sent a follow up. Simply walked across the street the desk at the Edgar where the staff quickly resolved it. Overall had a great stay in MV and the Franklin was perfect for us!

The property was clean, well appointed and very nicely decorated. It is self serve type hotel without a front desk. We had difficulty using our no key, phone entry. Had to call and someone was quickly able to help us get in. Other guest said they also had difficulty with it. Coffee and cold water are provided in the common area with a common fridge to use. We also had a bag with towels and chairs were available to reserve. It was a pleasant 10 min walk to downtown area. Easy parking. If you are sensitive to noise that could be an issue. Overall a great experience.

It’s a nice boutique hotel but it is in the middle of no where the restaurant across the street is less than desirable. The walk to town is too long on a main street

The only perk was the fact that it was conveniently located. Other than that, everything was terrible. SO LOUD. It was basically a frat house. The kitchen was dirty. You could hear people's conversation in the next room, etc. It was just so awful to try to sleep there.

We gave this property a 3 star for several reasons. To start, the positives of the property are: New build, modern styling, seating inside the common area and lots of seating and hang out on the exterior also, the bedding and pillows were comfortable and multiple options for pillows based on comfort. Also, David was a great host and helped us personally get into our room. As for the negatives of the property and hence only leaving a 3 star: There is no curtains that block light so every night was difficult to get the room dark enough to sleep from the outdoor property lights shining in our room all night. The TV is outdated and there isn't an option to connect to app services. There is only one keurig coffee maker for the whole property. No mini fridge in rooms. Two wine glasses in the kitchenette available for the property. The hallways smell like covered up dog smell. The bathroom counter was so small and no other cabinet to use to set items on while getting ready. The walls are so thin we couid hear kids running and stomping everyday and we could hear people coughing and it seemed like they were in the same room with us it was so loud. There's a noise machine in the room to help with this so I'm assuming they know its a problem. We could still hear all the noise with it running. There was an iron but no ironing board.

There are no full time staff onsite. The hotel across the street manages it, so if need something they come across the street. For example, the shampoo and conditioner bottles were missing in the shower, so I contacted them through the One Key app and they quickly responded and came over to put in the missing bottles. Room is rather small with no refrigerator, microwave, or coffee maker, as these are all located in the nice and spacious common room downstairs. OK selection of TV channels, except the NESN channel was listed as “not available” which means I missed a Red Sox game. Fans beware!

Great base camp

A nice centrally located hotel. The app was a little cumbersome to use and get into the hotel with. I am all for a self check in and check out but made it tough if you had any issue to not have anyone onsite. If there were issues you had to walk across the street to the sister hotel. The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. Room was very clean. We had an issue with our clicker and were offered to move rooms since it couldn't be fixed. We declined since we only had another night but very nice to have them accommodate us if there was an issue. The staff we did interact with was so nice and friendly and super helpful. Nice spot and they held our bags after checkout.

We just spent 4 nights at The Franklin as we had also stayed here last Spring. What a difference a year makes. We asked to be in a larger queen than we were last year and we were told that was not a problem (multiple times) when we arrived we were told that the entire hotel was booked (as we were prepared to upgrade to a king room) the woman behind the desk told us that she was moving us to room 8, a larger queen as that is the one she would stay in. When we finally were able to get in out room, we were actually in 11 and it was a way smaller room than last year. The door to our room would not fully close all the way so it rattled every time someone else open a door or when the wind blew, this went on all night long. There also seem to be people actually living full time at the hotel. Each day two women would cook a full meal out of the back of a pick up truck in the parking lot and then bring it into the common area to serve the 15 or so that would come to eat. The last night there seemed to be a party in the common area and they were very loud. We had wanted our friends to come to the hotel and have drinks and cheese and crackers with us, but since there were meals being served at lunch and dinner everyday, that was impossible to do. There was raw meat and other grocery items that took up the entire common area refrigerator and were were unable to keep anything in the fridge (a few cheeses and dip) that we had planned to do (that we had done the year before), so we had to k
