The best thing about this hotel is the location: directly across from the ferry in Old Harbor. It's also in the heart of Old Harbor. We never spend a lot of time in the room or at the hotel, so it was nice to be able to pop-in, drop purchases off, freshen up and head back out without losing a... More

I'm a little jaded as I used to cover Bermuda for work and also traveled to various locales and have stayed at some top notch places. If your mindset is right, the HS is not too bad. It's cheap. Staff is pretty attentive. Location is great if you are taking the ferry and not flying. My kids had a good... More

My wife and I stayed at this hotel on June 20-21, 2012 and we had a wonderful time. The room was clean, great location and the staff at the hotel is excellent. The food at the hotel's restaurant is wonderful, specially the seafood. Our waiter, Justin, was wonderful. Both my wife and myself would recommend this hotel as an excellent... More

The Harborside Inn is an older inn, very moderately priced with cozy rooms and a fantastic location. We were truly near everything, and the nightly rate was reasonable and comparable in comparison to other, similar options. In general, the staff was nice but not everyone spoke English well. And, my only complaint is that the room should have been cleaned... More

I was a little nervous about staying at the Harborside Inn because of some of the reviews, but I have to say that we had an excellent experience! We had a 3rd floor corner room that looked right out at the harbor- it was beautiful. The Inn is historic- the floors are crooked and it's really like a step back... More

The Harborside is always a good place to stay, where you can expect a clean room, great location and fair price. Nothing on Block Island is fancy, so this is not the place to go if you are looking for resort-style accommodations. This is Block Island . . . at it's best! And the breakfast included in the summer months... More

After reading a few reviews who moaned about this and that, we were pleasantly surprised to find our room cheerful, clean with a fantastic view out to the sea and harbor.. We received a warm welcome and on arrival had lunch at the hotel. Our waiter Justin couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. That's what will keep us coming... More

I have family on Block Island so I NEVER stay at hotels. However, I booked two rooms at the Harborside Labor Day weekend 2011 for a girls' weekend before my wedding. The rooms were clean and organized. The hotel is right in town across from the Block Island ferry, so there is easy access to all beaches, shops, restaurants, bars,... More

This is a basic hotel, but a good deal if you don't plan to spend much time in your room. Pros: The staff were friendly and efficient. The room was very clean. We had a suite with a queen bed and a sofa bed, which worked well for our daughter. The location is ideal - right in the middle of... More
