The Menemsha Inn was such a horrible experience that I am compelled to write my first trip advisor review. Our room was disgusting-tiny bathroom with rusted bath drain, peeling plastic tiles, and hand towels parading as bath towels. The room was equally bad. Sticky floors, bedspread with holes, cruddy blanket that was as thin as a sheet, air conditioning that was so noisy that sleep was almost impossible. When I requested another blanket, they sent us something right out of an army/navy store. I wouldn't touch it, that's how disgusting it was. But the worst--on our second day in this dump that masquerades as a hotel, I stood at the shower for 20 minutes waiting for hot water. No such luck. I called the front desk to enquire why I couldn't get hot water for my shower and no one picked up the phone. I had to get dressed, go to the office, wait until the clerk checked in another customer, to find out how to get hot water for a shower. The clerk said, Oh-the boiler broke down. When I asked her why the management didn't inform guests that there was no hot water, she said 'good point'. She then pointed me to the outside shower. The next day, another clerk offered us another room, even though the Inn was at capacity (where was she putting us, on the beach?). This would have meant packing up, and moving our bags ourselves in the 90 degree heat, and unpacking. When I told this story to a friend who has a house in Chilmark, she was not surprised and said that the owners haven't put a dime of maintenance into this place in 20 years. We had no hot water for the two of the four days we stayed at this very expensive dump. To add insult to injury, the management offered to give us ONE complimentary breakfast at their sister hotel. I actually ate breakfast the first morning at this place because when you check in, the check in clerk says 'breakfast will be at the Beach Plum Inn'. Anyone who frequents high end inns knows that if you couch breakfast in these terms, it is included. What they neglect to say is that you will pay a ridiculous sum of money for very mediocre food. Additionally, the Inn is supposed to have coffee available in their canteen. For three of the four days, there was no coffee. To pair a lovely day on the beach with coming back to a disgusting room that may or may not have hot water, surly service, if there is any service at all, is pretty much a vacation ruiner. And to pay extortionist prices for the worst lodging experience in my adult life is highway robbery.
