The Richard

Have you ever asked for a picture with your hotel host so that you could remember your wonderful time with them? Yeah, me neither. That is, until we stayed here, and we experienced the kind, warm, and world-class hospitality of Ellen. When we arrived, she immediately made us feel welcomed. She ensured that we had a good plan for our visit (she has lived there for many years, and knows everything). But there were so many little things that were above and beyond. A kind note in our room. The way that she frequently made sure we had everything we needed (even when we weren’t at the hotel). The way that she got excited with us about our plans. The fact that she meticulously tested recipes for the breakfast service so that everything was the best that it could be (she even made an experimental

We had a memorable stay at the Richard. Reception staff Kate and Angela have all the expert recommendations for restaurants, shops and activities. And a calm and friendly manager, Ms. Ellen who has all the answers to whatever concern you have. I for one needed 1 extra luggage ( no shop selling one in MV) for all my shopping haul! She never hesitated to offer her own. ||Kudos to Ms. Ellen's staff for making our stay a memorable one.

I had such a wonderful stay at The Richard in Edgartown! From the moment I arrived, the staff’s friendliness made me feel so welcome. The inn has a cozy, inviting atmosphere that feels both stylish and comfortable. One of my favorite touches was the fresh baked goods offered throughout the day—the sweet potato scones were absolutely amazing! The location is also perfect—right in downtown Edgartown with shops and restaurants just steps away, and less than a three-minute walk to the shuttle that takes you directly to Oak Bluffs. It made exploring the island so easy and stress-free. If you’re looking for a warm, charming place to stay with thoughtful details and a truly convenient location, The Richard is a fantastic choice. I can’t wait to return!

I was sent an email asking if I would like to upgrade my room and I entered a bid and never got a response. Bathroom is small and limited space for toiletries. The breakfast was the same every day. Just an upgraded continental breakfast.

The breakfast is amazing, not to mention the afternoon warm & truly delicious cookies. The flowers, sitting area & fire are priceless. The location is amazing - we originally wanted to be closer to the water, but I’m so glad we chose the Richard, because it is very handy for the buses & also shopping, restaurants, etc. The staff is wonderful, helpful, warm but professional. We love this place so much.
