The Franklin Hotel Martha's Vineyard

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

Clean , comfortable ,safe. No one on property other than cleaning lady. Any issues were handled via text and quickly responding.

Great

Unable to rate the staff and service as I never interacted with anyone on the property. The stay was great, rooms were wonderful and comfortable, and the property was beautiful.

Clean comfortable room. Went in off season but the area seemed nice

I liked everything

Shower didn’t work or was stuck.

The hotel and grounds are great. Located right across from a grocery store and restaurant. Loved that pets were welcome. Definitely will stay again

Great property! Definitely would stay again.

Excellent stay!

Just missed not having small refrigerator

Very homey feel. Right across is an excellent restaurant - Towne.

We loved our stay at the Franklin. We needed a hotel that was pet friendly. This place was perfect.

Perfect getaway, clean, well set-up for relaxing!

Very nice. No staff on site except cleaning team. App did not open outside doors.

Clean, new, modern room. Nice self serve kitchen area . Friendly, helpful staff.......STEPHANE and Mgr CARLOS

Had no issues checking in and laying pet fee at the front desk across the street. App worked fine and keycards were ready on the bed. It was no issue with our dogs, parking was also very easy, plenty of spaces and no hassle with passes or entrance gates. Room servicing is request only via text and it was promptly done for us when we did request it. Only negatives I’d say was no water or coffee machines in the room. But grocery store basically across the street and tons of great coffee spots in downtown Edgartown. Will definitely look at this place to stay again, with or without our dogs.

Good spot / value

The place was very clean and updated, 1/2 mile walk to the main town that was nice, restaurants everywhere, rooms are way too small for the price you pay for a night stay. It’s almost impossible to move around in the room that how small they are. We are not big people,
