We stayed at the Harborside for two nights while on island for a wedding. At over $200 bucks a night, we expected something at least on par with a highway-side chain hotel. We were sorely disappointed. Although Block Island is beautiful and the hotel is conveniently located right across from the ferry dock, the pluses end there. What was described... more

Although the room was small it wasn't uncomfortable. If we stayed longer than two nights though it might have been a little tight. The hotel has a great porch that was just built and has lots of wicker furniture to lounge on. My biggest complaint is probably minor to some. The tv only had three channels and they were all... more

I wasn't impressed with the Harborside but I can't complain since we only paid $159 for two double beds in the middle of the high season. The location is great, across from the ferry and walking distance to Ballard's Beach (great waves!). However, the room was was musty and it looked like there was mold on the bathroom ceiling.

Just got back from spending two nights at the Harborside Inn. Our room, #218 was horrible...it was so small we could hardly find a place to open our suitcase to unpack. Our room was right above the exhaust fan from the restaurant so that was all you heard all night. The mattress was the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept... more

Overall the Harborside Inn is a good hotel and it serves its purpose... you don't go to Block Island to spend all day in your hotel room. The rooms are small but manageable and they do a pretty good job of keeping them clean. A maid did come to my room at about 9:00 one morning and I told her... more

After reading previous reviews, I felt compelled to write about my experience at the Harborside Inn. As a family of four, its always troublesome to find accomodations which are "kid-friendly" but this Inn fit the bill. We were able to reserve a great room with an ocean view, and the large deck allowed for us to spend a great evening... more

First of all, the harborside Inn staff was incredible. They were so friendly and helpful, and very attractive as well! Being a single guy, it was easy to find a room in their Inn, I had just what I needed, a beautiful Ocean view that was steps from the beach. I enjoyed amazing food at the Harbor Grill... I had... more

Let me preface this review by saying that I am from New York City. As such, I am used to small spaces. However, I've never encountered as small a room as I did at the Harborside Inn. Our room did not have even a dresser or shelves so we could put our clothes away. In fact, our sink was in... more

went to block island for the first time for labor day weekend. the harborside did its job. the rooms were small, but comfortable and clean. the staff seemed friendly although we really didn't ask them for much. i would stay there again considering the location was right in town and the rates were reasonable. more
