The Richard,

104 Main St, Edgartown, MA 02539, United States

"Great stay at the Richard; lovely staff, great room, nice courtyard, great location in edgartown, and wonderful breakfast. Worth checking out!"

"This hotel staff went far above and beyond to make our experience special. One of the better hotels we've ever stayed at. The location is also excellent, as it is walking distance from Edgartown restaurants and two blocks from the bus station. Can't speak highly enough about this place."

"This was our second visit to The Richard and it was just as wonderful as our first visit in 2019. The hotel is perfectly located literally steps away from the restaurants, shops, and bus station. We loved the boutique feel and Mia at the front desk was sweet and helpful. The rooms are modern and very clean and the beds are very comfortable. The breakfast is more bite size, but everything is home made or brought in by local bakeries/farms. They had fresh cookies every afternoon and they always had tea, coffee, and water available. There were beach towels and beach chairs available if you wanted to go to head to the beaches that are easily accessible by bus. There’s also a beautiful outdoor patio with couches and chairs with a nice fire pit if you wanted to bring your own drinks there instead of heading to a bar at night. Staying the second weekend in June was perfect because it was busy enough in town, but it was before the summer rush. We had no issues getting dinner reservations and stores/streets weren’t overcrowded. Out of our two stays we have 0 complaints and cannot wait to come back again."

"The Richard was an overall great place to stay. But here are some things to consider: Pros: Location, location location. The Richard's location is possibly the best in Edgartown. Whether you want to bike to South Beach or walk downtown for dinner, this is a great starting point. The courtyard was great, my wife and I enjoyed reading outside in the afternoons. The breakfast was convenient on our departure day. Cons: The rooms and property are small and cramped. While staying at the Richard, you are in very close quarters with the other guests. The staff also appeared live on the property and use it as their own. This gave more of an "AirBnB feel" to the property. The breakfast was little more than finger foods and would certainly disappoint those with a hearty appetite. The service was adequate and nothing more. Our room was only cleaned once during our 3.5 day stay despite using the door hanger we were provided. Conclusion: I'm not overly picky about vacation accommodations, but I don't feel like the lodging and service at The Richard reflect what we paid."

"My wife and I had a wonderful stay at the Richard in July 2022 and wish we could have stayed longer. The staff was attentive right from check in. The breakfast was fresh and definitely homemade when it came to the muffins and biscuits. The room was very clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay here again once we return to MV - love the area of Edgartown more than Oak Bluffs which seemed much busier and "touristy"! Highly recommend!"
