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.
