Charming, but…

Third visit because the location is key, in town with on-site restaurant and beach access. It’s an old building- refurbished with charm, but note that it kept its slanted floors and thin walls. This visit, we noticed repairs were needed throughout- our room in particular had several holes in walls from past shelving. Service was challenging this time- front desk was efficient and friendly, but housekeeping skipped our room and several of us waited fifteen minutes for lobby coffee while the server chatted on the phone nearby. For these prices, one might expect more attention to detail and service, but hopefully these things will be addressed.

Everything was great. Need more beach chairs for guests. To many guests get them early then leave beach leaving nothing for the rest of us who sleep in a bit. Should have a sit down breakfast. Paper thin walls at gothic house. Exceptionally clean though.

A nice place to go. It might be for the younger crowd though, especially the third floor room in the Gothic house, but for just one night and for me, it was fine. the staff gets an A+. I did enjoy my stay.

The hotel’s location can’t be beat. It’s a short walk from the ferry and has plenty of restaurants that are within walking distance. The condition of the hotel however is a little run down. We noticed visible mold throughout the property (on the walls behind the surfboards hanging), there was visible water damage (bulging wallpaper/plaster), and the rooms were very small. Keep in mind that although there is an elevator, this is not a true handicap friendly hotel. Overall, the view from our room was wonderful and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Overall our stay was good. The staff was great. Nice, friendly very accommodating. At first glance the property is really nice. very well appointed. Until you look around and you see it need a serious cleaning and paint refresh. Some porch railings look like they weren't even cleaned before the season began. The pool area is lovely but needs a major cleaning also.

Hotel was in an amazing location, so easily walkable from the ferry and all the main shops/restaurants and bars. They stored our luggage for us until our room was ready (early!) and then when we went to check in our bags had already been brought to our room which was great. We stayed in The Gothic which was a a bit up the street from the main building however I was happier with that because it was definitely more quiet and we were on a ground floor (I'm 6 months pregnant so didn't really want to be walking up and down stairs all day). The only slight negatives was that the ice machine was right outside our room which was loud if people were using it early in the morning, and they do allow non-guests to purchase the beach loungers so there are times when none are available. We loved our stay and would definitely come back!

It was just the right place and location for my family for a quick getaway. The Gothic was very cute and well suited for our short stay and our grown girls loved the bunks. Would have been nice to have some hospitality water bottles, snacks and tax in the room, but still a great 2 bedroom house

We tried to touch base with a manager on multiple occasions prior to leaving the island but were told none were available. Good: The beach property was beautiful - and why we booked at the resort. Bad: Unfortunately, our tv sound did not work despite multiple attempts - which we ultimately overlooked. Thereafter, we went to the pool and people who were not resort guests were there - smoking, drinking full liquor bottles, taking full blown showers in the outdoor showers (shampoo, conditioner, using a razor), and to top it all off - a man (again, not a guest) undressed outside in front of everyone - including children. Again, we tried to overlook this and went to the beach instead. In the middle of our sleep a loud banging on our door startled us awake - twice. It sounded like it was going to break the door open. Eventually, found to be a local by staff who broke into the hotel (and up to the second floor to where our room was. Eventually the culprit was confronted by security (?police) outside of the hotel. I have emailed our concerns multiple times and no one will reply to this day.

This hotel was great for the weekend. The room was clean, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. The location of the hotel itself is in the middle of everything. The main hotel has the restaurant and beach access while most of their rooms are located in what seems to be houses converted into a hotel down the street. The restaurant at the hotel is not worth your time, the food is lackluster and over priced. However the national hotel across the street has a pretty good menu and service. The beach was nice and the attendant was great, just make sure to go early to get your chairs/umbrella they go quick. If you want nice sand clear water and privacy go to mansion beach it’s about 10 mins away from the hotel. Block island was a great weekend getaway with a Caribbean vacation feel without taking a flight.
