I had been trying to get to Block Island for years - always chose another site for no apparent reason. Now, after getting away for a night - I need to make this a regular stop on my travel circuit. The trip was easy on the high-speed was great - 30 minutes. We walked to the Hotel from the ferry... more

I read all the reviews on here for B&Bs on BI before booking at the 1661 Inn. We have never stayed at a B&B before and were looking for a romantic getaway. We stayed in the Staples room and was able to negiotate the price down because our stay was between low and high season. Our room was everything it... more

We stayed in the 1661 house/Ball room. While the view was beautiful, our room was less than desirable. The furniture was outdated (I'm not referring to antiques here) and the bathroom is horrendous! It looked like it was last updated in the 1970s. Our room had no window screens so we were forced to sleep with the windows wide open.... more

This was a typical New England Inn and it was exactly what we expected. The hotel is located just steps from the Ferry in Old Harbor. We stayed in the Palmetto room and it was clean and comfortable. The wine and cheese and champagne breakfast were all served at the 1661, which is about 40 yards down the street. The... more

Right from the start, I knew our 2-night stay in the Alice May Room in Dodge Cottage (part of the Manisses Hotel and 1661 Inn) was going to be a good one. Loreen at the front desk was so nice on the phone...she told me about the new September specials and helped me select a room. Upon arrival in Block... more

I recently read some reviews and was saddened by the negative feedback. My family and I have stayed at the 1661 Inn (including the Dodge Cottage for the past 3 years now and we've had great experiences. We go in the off season when the island is less busy and the staff is always pleasant and helpful and our rooms... more

I thought by booking at what was known to be one of the best hotels on the Block Island I could expect their sister properties to be of the same quality, so I did not hesitate to confirm our reservation. Upon our arrival we were brought to the 1661 Inn to check in and sign the paper work, and then... more

My 18 year old daughter and I stayed here for some "Mom and Me" time before she went off for her first year at college. We loved the look of the place as we drove up-the gardens are lovely. The staff at check-in was not overly solicitious but they weren't rude, and, actually, the more you interacted with them the... more

Just returned from a stay at the 1661 Inn on BI. I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful /charming accommodations. My husband and I stayed in the Alcock room on the first floor that faced Spring Street and had a side view of the ocean from the deck. Even though I also faced the street it was never noisy, and... more

...left in the room we stayed in (Dewey Cottage room 4) and continuing with cleaning off the bird crap from the cushions on the porch chairs - seriously! It is a shame because the Manisses Inn/1661 House and their respective properties (a few cottages nearby) are lovely locations. We stayed at the Dewey Cottage which was a short walk from... more
