Beautifully decorated and nice workspace. Staff was not helpful with baggage at check-in. For the price, the toilet paper was cheap and no slippers. It was very nice that they allowed you to use the pool and property after the 11am checkout.

Our new favorite hotel!

The Faraway is our new favorite hotel! I have been coming to the Vineyard for over 25 years and our 4 day staycation at the hotel was the best weekend I have ever had on the island. The location can’t be beat. You are in the heart of Edgartown with everything being in walking distance. The amenities are great and the staff were spectacular. The best part is that the hotel is dog friendly too!

A nice getaway

Overall very good. I did think it was unusual that upon check in we weren't told the typical: breakfast hours, gym location, wifi.... the staff all were in there 20s... so that was different. Pool area was nice and good service... overall we had a nice stay. Hope this feedback helps so that the welcome part is a bit more formal.
