“Thanksgiving at 1661”

We had a wonderful time; our room and the view was superb as was the morning breakfast and the mimosas.The animals were an extra treat. Highly recommend 1661 and will definitely stay there on my return to Block Island

“One night stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 25, 2012

I came to Block Island to run in the 5K Turkey Trot and to do some Christmas shopping and stayed at the 1661 Inn in the Deering room. The Inn is very clean, everyone is exceptionally friendly and accommodating. My daughter also got to go and feed the animals across the street with the owners Granddaughter which was very fun. The buffet breakfast was excellent, home cooked food. I would recommend this Inn to anyone who comes to Block Island. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay!

“Great service, great inn, in a jewel of a setting.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012 via mobile

Lovely inn... old style attention to service. Room neat and well lit, décor simple yet elegant. Bed was dreamy, as was breakfast . Room was toasty on arrival and lodger can set thermostat. The complementary brandy is a nice touch .
Staff truly solicitous but not smarmy.
Top flight experience.

“Our October stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

This was our second time at the Inn, and we enjoyed it just as much as our first time. The view is truly spectacular! We stayed in the Draper room, which is beautiful! The Inn is very clean, everyone is accomodating and the free breakfast was great! Can't wait until next time!

“1661 Inn is beautiful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2012

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights this fall, in the Nicholas Ball cottage. We wound up here because the original place he wanted to stay was closed for the season. After this trip, we will never stay anyplace else! The room was huge, with a jacuzzi tub, working fieplace, and large bathroom. It was quiet and clean, and the king size bed was very comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast each morning was very good - the muffins and bread were homemade and delicious! We weren't planning to come back this year, but we enjoyed it so much that we might go back for a long weekend next month. I highly recommend the 1661 Inn!
