How can I get cheap hotels in Nantucket?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Nantucket

  1. If you're looking to travel to Nantucket on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $150. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $211. Staying a short amount of time in Nantucket is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Nantucket, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Nantucket, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Nantucket, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

Which area of Nantucket is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For budget-conscious solo travellers seeking affordable accommodations on Nantucket, finding "cheap hotels" in the traditional sense is challenging, as the island is known for its upscale offerings. However, areas like Nantucket Town and the outskirts of Siasconset might offer more value, particularly if you consider guesthouses, inns with shared amenities, or rooms in private homes.

Nantucket Town, while the island's bustling hub, can occasionally present more affordable options due to its higher concentration of lodging establishments. Solo travellers might find guesthouses or smaller inns here that offer rooms at a lower price point, especially if they are willing to book during the shoulder seasons (late spring or early fall) or on weekdays. Staying in Nantucket Town also provides easy access to the Steamship Authority and Hy-Line ferries, the island's extensive bus system (the Nantucket Regional Transit Authority, or NRTA), and numerous free attractions like the Whaling Museum (free for members, otherwise a fee), historic streets, and scenic harbor walks.

Alternatively, the fringes of Siasconset, often referred to as 'Sconset, might have a few hidden gems in terms of guesthouses or private room rentals that are more budget-friendly than central Nantucket Town. While 'Sconset is a bit more secluded, it offers a tranquil atmosphere and beautiful natural scenery. Solo travellers can enjoy free activities such as walking along the Sconset Bluff Walk with its stunning ocean views and charming rose-covered cottages, or relaxing on the beach.
