Our rooms were clean and comfortable and the price was right. The hotel was a little out of the way - a good walk back to town or beach area. We barely saw the innkeepers except at check-in and check-out. If that's what you want this place is great. We like to stay at B&Bs where the innkeepers are friendly... More

My fiance and I stayed here memorial day weekend and everything was great! It was about a 10 minute walk to the main center of Oak Bluffs. It was also about a 10-15 minute bike ride to Vineyard Haven. The room was very clean and spacious. There is no tv but we did not need one. The owners were really... More

This place was great. The décor throughout was very attractive and our room on the first floor was very spacious. I was a little hesitant when I read a few reviews as we were looking at different places. Some people just love to complain. This is someone’s business. I found those negative reviews inaccurate. Yes there was a hose there... More

My feelings about the inn are very much colored by the fact that I need a firm mattress and ended up having to sleep on the floor for two nights because the inn not only had none but had no cots either. That said, I found the inn pretty disappointing in other respects as well. The first room I had... More

My husband and I booked last-minute trip the the Vineyard and stayed at Adminral Benbow Inn. The B&B is located a10-minute walk uphill from the Oak Bluffs ferry stop. Although there is a walk/bike path marked on the road, cars pass frequently at fast rates of speed so it doesn't feel like the safest route. Once you get your bearings,... More

We stayed at the inn five times and are looking forward to the next five. The Victorian era inn offers a safe and secure home base for all our island adventures. We have stayed in four of the tastefully decorated seven rooms and found each one fresh, clean and comfortable. Our evenings are always pleasant and restful. We can wind... More

We were at this place for four days and every time we went to our car or to our bicycles we had step around the hose strewn across the driveway and trip over the broken concrete and pass the owner's rusty pickup truck full of trash that wasn't moved during our entire stay. Our room on the ground floor had... More

My Husband and I came to the Vineyard in hopes of a relaxing getaway from our hectic lives. And that's exactly what we got by staying at The Admiral Benbow Inn.

We stayed here for three nights in October. Mary was welcoming and considerate. The Inn is comfortable and the rooms are clean. We had seen comments on Tripadvisor that the Inn was on a busy road - in fact our rooms were on the side of the Inn next to the road and we didn't find that a problem at... More
