Rooms are way to small for the price you pay.
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,

Great place to stay, clean and close to downtown.
Walking distance of downtown Edgartown, clean and quiet, windows can be opened. Only downside was that the app I had to use for obtaining the keycode didn't work with foreign phone numbers. Communication over the phone to get this resolved was very cumbersome. Other than that, a perfect place to stay.

Franklin Hotel in Edgartown - Perfect Location!
Great hotel. Check-in and room key is done via your phone...no staff interaction necessary! Walking distance to downtown Edgartown shops and restaurants...also walking distance to Bad Martha's Brewery and Stop & Shop. Church St. bus to Oak Bluffs is only a 5 minute walk away. Directly across the street (hidden in the Edgar Hotel) is a great sports bar!

Bad taste in my mouth
I came back to the hotel. I tried to get into my room. Both my keys wouldn’t work Electronic. The phone app wouldn't work either. The phone app wouldn’t let me in. I texted the number that I had because they don’t have people here because they’re across the street at the other hotel, the main hotel, I asked if they had turned my keys off because I can’t get in well wouldn’t you know it? The person at the desk on the other side questioning me like I didn’t even belong there this is just so unbelievable. The person said I’m calling the cops. I will have them escort me over there. She doesn’t even know the hotel. She asked me. How did I get inside? If my keys didn’t work the back door doesn’t have an electronic lock so I told her I walked in, she started giving me hard time and I lost it here. I’m tired. I want to get in and Sophie wants to come out. The cops came. They shake their heads. The gal finally gave me a new key. Walked over with the cops and I got in. This is unacceptable and this gal should be fired for treating a customer this way. Everyone else I dealt with was very nice and stuff like this gives you a bad taste in your mouth. They dont have people on the property and the staff apparently doesnt know the property. stay away

We thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay—the lobby is welcoming and the room was inviting and well appointed. We had difficulty with the open key app but the staff was responsive and it got sorted after a delay (in the rain). Everything went smoothly after getting in although as senior citizens we missed having a human being at the front desk. Overall, an excellent experience. We particularly liked the bedding—the perfect weight for us and it felt very luxurious.
