Love going to Martha’s Vineyard and was looking forward to the stay at the Faraway, but unfortunately, it was quite disappointing. on the plus side the location and the overall vibe of the property was excellent. Unfortunately, the room which was over $800 a night was terribly noisy. We could hear the people above us walking around and doing whatever they were doing as if they were in the room themselves— as we could hear people going up and down the staircase that was nearby, which sounded like a herd of elephants to be honest. it’s an old building and so I get it, but these things are not acceptable at this caliber of a place Beyond that there were other things like the towels in the bathroom were really substandard quality. They weren’t plush at all, and frankly I’ve had equal if not even somewhat better towels and lesser hotels. The pool was not heated or so it didn’t seem —it was freezing cold, although there was a hot tub which was warm. Some people might not care about this, but I find it not satisfactory to not have a coffee maker in the room as well but honestly, if that was the only thing I would’ve given it a pass, but I did have to put a robe on and go out to the lobby to get coffee in the morning which again I don’t really feel is acceptable. unfortunately, I cannot recommend the Faraway.

Score of 7 mostly due to staff

We checked in, and the room was on the 3rd floor, no bell person to help with the bags, the staff was very cold and impersonal, and that feeling lingered for the next 3 days. When we asked about coffee, they said we had coffee service in the room, but we did not. When we mentioned this, they said they didn't know what their colleague from the night before had been talking about. We had an early fishing trip, and your shop opened later at 7. Our room was nice and comfortable (pillows were hard but otherwise ok), but the staff seemed more interested in talking to each other rather than guests; it was an odd feeling of us/them, whereas the facilities were warm and friendly, the staff were not (except the woman who managed the pool areas, she was very nice). Additionally, the Pelican Club was closed one night due to the weather, and I'm unsure why it was closed the other night.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

Disliked: Staff & service

The property has a great location, very nice outdoor space and nice rooms. The lower rating was for two reasons. The first was our room was on the bottom floor, near the stairwell. Every morning starting at 6:30 all you could hear was banging doors and people going up and down these stairs. It was not sound proof AT ALL and you had no chance of sleeping. The second reason was the staff at the property mainly consisted of young people in their 20s. For a hotel of this price, you expect a level of service which they did not have. The person who checked us in was very rude to both us and someone else waiting. The staff outdoors by the pool were having their own day in the sun- they were very loud, socialized for hours on end which I wouldn’t care about but the noise was crazy, if we wanted spring break vibes we would have gone to Mexico. There were many people by the pool who moved to the opposite end to get away from their service station that they socialized around. People come here to relax and their attitude and noise was not it. At least wait until the guests are gone to take your Polaroids and scream about the party you’re excited about tonight.
