The poor reviews are quite deserved here. We stayed in on of the apartments and were horrified! We cleaned the room ourselves before unpacking. This was back in the summer of 2006, though I doubt things have changed. The location, however, is quite nice. You can walk to the harbor, restaurants etc.. The owners/innkeepers were horrible! They should be ashamed... more

I don't know where to begin with this place. We were so horrified about everything at this place that at times we just laughed to keep from crying! We got there during a terrible rain storm and couldn't find any staff. Finally we find two young women in a lower room of the main inn, watching TV surrounded by packages... more

I'm just adding my 2 cents worth because I object to some of the opinions that people complaining about the Gothic Inn just don't "get" Block Island.

When we arrived, we had the same experience as another traveler that posted here. No staff member was around and a... more

We loved our time on BI and the Gothic Inn was great. It's not a five star hotel, but it has plenty of charm and was very comforatable. Our room was small but clean; the linens and towels were fine; we had no problems at all with the shared bathrooms which were clean (bring your own soap and shampoo). Breakfast... more

OK, so where should I start? We checked in on Sunday and it was the last time we would see the owners until Wednesday afternoon. The owners do not live on the property, nor does it seem any of the staff. We rented a two bedroom apartment. The screen door on the front door was torn. The windows didn’t shut.... more

I am happy to report that our stay at the Gothic Inn was a a real a Block Island experience. Only those who share in the love for this magical Island would appreciate what I am saying. The innkeepers were very hospitable and helpful. The young women and men that worked there were also very kind and hepful. Our room... more

rustic is cool if you pick it. to stay in a bed and breakfast and have drywall chipping and spider webs in the corners is unacceptable. the furniture is old, old, not antiques. both of our backs and necks are sore from just a really bad, old bed and old pillows. we went to dinner with the door locked. came... more
