Knowing there was no check in desk, I was a bit nervous when I booked the room. Then we put the key in the door and opened it. The room was immaculate, bed linens looked new, 8 bath towels and 4 hand towels, a true ocean view as promised, much larger than other rooms we have stayed in at Block... more

My fiance and I just returned from a beautiful weekend on Block Island. We are planning on getting married there in September, and we went out to do some wedding planning. I had been to BI several times and loved it, but this was my fiance's first time, and I really wanted him to love it as much as I... more

The Water Street Inn is situated almost directly across from the Point Judith ferry in the middle of old harbor which makes for a very convenient place to stay. It is close to all the restaurants and shops of old harbor and within walking distance to the beaches. Apparently associated with the Harborside Inn, one checks in and out a... more

We stayed at the Water Street Inn 10 years ago and had a very possitive experience. The Innkeepers were right downstairs and the rooms were very clean airy and pleasant. Such is no longer the case. We revisited the inn in Aug of '07 and it now seems rundown, dirty and not a place one could feel confident in clean... more

My wife and I were fully aware that going to an island we weren't going to get 5-star amenities. We were going to be content with the hominess of a small inn. Fine. But in the United States of the early part of the 21st century, when one is paying more than $200 a night, is it really too much... more

We visited the Water Street Inn and absolutely loved it! My husband had seen a couple of negative reviews on this website so we thought we should tell our story. We checked in at the main front desk which was two doors down.. One person had voiced a problem with this in their review but when we were booking our... more

We booked a room for 1 night(off season). Unfortunately it was the night before a Nor'easter and most of the tourists were leaving the island as there was no guarantee of a return ferry. We explained this to the manager before we checked in and asked if we could get a refund, or, failing this, credit on a room for... more

Took my husband, who is from a seacoast town on another continent, to Block Island so he could be by the water for his birthday. Block Island is a lovely, lovely escape, but unfortunately our inn did not live up to expectations. I would not recommend staying here, for several reasons, primarily safety, decor, and comfort/service. Safety: there is no... more

Recently I have read the unfavorable review posted on this website and felt that a response was needed. Over the winter we have taken great care in making some renovations at the Water Street Inn that were well needed. We do find however that those comments posted are unfortunatley often posted by the very few unhappy guests rather than those...

The Water Street Inn was in a great location but extremely overpriced. The room was a decent size with a private bath and air conditioning and the bed had a down comforter. Other than that the room was a dump. I saw many other places to stay that were probably cheaper and would have been a bit more charming. more

This is the second time I am attempting to post this review. I don't know what happened the first time around. The first thing that hit us was the we had to check in two buildings away, as there is no lobby or place to sit by a fire, etc. as is usual with an inn. What was on the... more
