Room was good, nice bed, tv, easy access. One light did not even have a functional access area to screw in the bulb, it is just sitting on the ring of the lamp shade., torn wall sort of cracked drywall coming through. sort of moldy, dirty caulking in tub area.... Just an older hotel it seems. Quiet. Its MVY so they can charge what they do.

I was there for my sister's funeral who lived a block away. Since there were a lot of family going to be there, I chose this hotel as it was convenient, looked nice, close to grocery store, has a restaurant and bar and another family member had stayed there previously. When I returned from a long day, the room was nice, clean and comfortable

I wish to commend Area Hotel General Manager, Carlos Guzman, who sat at the front desk while his staff had called out sick. Carlos was very kind, courteous and curious about what brought us to the island, and when he learned of our nephew’s wedding and our unmet hope for 2 adjoining rooms to accommodate a daughter and grandchildren, he unsolicitedly upgraded our room to a 2 bedroom suite, which offered the five of us plenty of room and sufficient sleeping areas, as well as a full sized refrigerator and kitchen, to enjoy each other’s company throughout the wedding weekend.

Carlos Guzman was personable, fun and funny, and went over and above any expected level of service. He spoke highly of and with great loyalty toward his employer and engaged with us by sharing some of his knowledge of and experience with island life and the people who make the island livable. This young man has earned our praise and I believe, his company’s positive attention.

Upon departing the Martha's Vineyard ferry from Vineyard Haven, we drove less than 15 minutes to the Edgar Hotel. The staff were welcoming, hospitable, and helpful with suggestions for places of interest to visit. The room was new, spacious, clean with a comfortable bed, and was quiet except for the exit door near our room that would slam shut and wake us up at 5:30 AM. Our corner room had many windows that offered natural light, however, we were on the first floor and cars parked outside our window could see in if we had the blinds open. The only thing missing are black out curtains. The shower faucet was difficult to turn off if you have arthritis. These are minor things in comparison to the convenient location next to Stop and Shop market, ample parking, and close proximity to all the shops, restaurants, and beach. We will gladly reserve a room here again next time we visit.

We had high hopes for the Edgar based on the hotel website, but were sorely disappointed. The bed was the most uncomfortable we’ve ever slept in on all of our travels. Our backs were killing us by morning. The bathroom was an odd mix of new and old. The countertop was a beautiful new quartz with tons of room for all of our toiletries. The shower was old and outdated. The ceiling tiles were disgustingly stained. The plugs were so worn that nothing would stay plugged in; I had to dry my hair in the bedroom. The sink stopper didn’t work. The front desk staff weren’t overly friendly. For some reason, the onsite restaurant was not open the night we stayed. We were looking forward to sleeping in, but were awakened before 7am by loud banging and backup horns; it might have been garbage pickup or deliveries at the adjacent grocery store. Note, there is no elevator but we knew that ahead of time. Do yourself a favor and stay elsewhere. The website doesn’t live up to reality.

Smallish, clean, friendly

The staff could not have been nicer, more friendly or helpful. They were the best part of the stay. The rooms are average size, carpets are tired, but baths, bedding all seem new. Having a fridge & microwave is a plus. There’s no housekeeping during your stay unless requested, which would be a problem, but the door to the service closet with towels and supplies was open & we were told to leave dirty/wet towels on the floor and replace fresh towels on our own as needed. The location is excellent, groceries next door, bike rental across the street. 15 min walk into Edgartown. Unlike their sister hotel across the street, there’s no “hang out” space, no front lounge, etc. and frankly the price is insane, albeit competitively priced… but the entire island is crazy expensive. If you’re looking for a clean, decent place w/a fridge that’s well located to town, beaches, and a friendly staff, this is a good place to stay.

This place would’ve gotten 4-5 stars had it not been for two things. #1 the bathroom sink was clogged. #2 the smart tv had no internet connection. Apparently according to the staff that works there none of the rooms have internet connection going to the tv so despite have chrome cast you can’t stream apps. For a price point that they charge I expect better.

Charming place but we had a leaky air conditioner which dripped water all over our clothes while we were out and ruined a few. The hotel was nice enough to give us another room but just put a damper on a nice vacation. Not having a night manager on duty, we had to wait the whole night without air conditioning.

The room nicely decorated and beds very comfortable.
Bath has great large container but rather dark lightening. Great hot water & pressure.
Tub needed a little TLC. Did have Lysol with me . Told girl at check out . Hopefully will follow up. Right next door to a stop & shop
No need to bring a lot as far as snacks.

The staff was very nice. We felt the price was very high given the location and lack of facilities. About a mile walk into town where shops and most restaurants are (few restaurants closer by).
Carpets were worn, no daily housekeeping (you can request). If this was on the water, or had a pool or exercise facilities, or closer to downtown, may have changed our opinion slightly.

One-night stay at the hotel

Hotel was adequate for our purpose although very expensive for the atmosphere. The room and bathroom were clean although there are obvious stains on the carpet. It is in a parking lot, adjacent to a grocery store parking lot. If it weren't so expensive (very close to $500/night), then the review would reflect the cost. We felt safe there which is most important.

My stay was disappointing. I was given a room with an ant infestation. I set a closed bottle of juice on my nightstand and five minutes later it was covered in ants. There were no others rooms available. I had to go to sleep concerned about ants crawling on me. I reported incident and no one from the hotel followed up with me. O think some entered my room the next day without out my permission and sprayed bug spray on the nightstand which was not ideal as I have an allergy to it. The property was not secure. An exterior door was left open very late at night. It lead to a restaurant park way. Anyone that walked through the restaurant would have their run of the hotel. It likely contributed to the big issue too. quite disappointing considering the room totaled almost $1000 with fees and taxes for one night. Would not stay again.
