It is a nice hotel but the rooms are small. We had a convenience bar outside the room for water, ice, coffee, etc. the bar was practical but noisy as others used it. The staff was cordial but not overly personable. The outside bar was gorgeous! The beach set up is perfect- towels and everything else you need are right there on the beach. They have a foot shower too! The cushions on the outdoor furniture needed a refresh and were very tired and weathered. Lastly, we arrived after Labor Day and through no fault of the hotel, they were losing staff daily and short staffed in general.

So many adjectives could describe the Block Island Beach House - love love loved it! The location to the beach, the beautifully remodeled rooms and bathrooms, the porch and more. Loved our stay on the island, and hope to come back in the future. Two days definitely was not enough island time!

Something just not quite right about BIBH, we get that it’s an old, historic property (and love that) but it needs some attention in many areas. The outside of the hotel is in bad repair, our room window was broken and wouldn’t close properly. Outdoor seating cushions were dirty and some ripped/worn. Some staff were fine, friendly and helpful but a few seemed to have no regard for customers. Free coffee was a nice touch and the breakfast bowl I had was excellent. Did not eat or drink at hotel otherwise. All the stuff for sale seems tacky…For the almost $500 a night cost of a tiny room without an ocean view in the off-season, we will chose another place in the future.

No one working there seemed like they had any experience in hospitality -- they were kind of friendly, but it didn't feel like there was any customer service, also had one of the creekiest most uncomfortable beds I've ever slept in (was actually tilted so far down that I had to switch my head to the other side to get any sleep), and they don't do any maintenance on the beach, so you're surrounded by really smelly washed up seaweed among other things. The food on the island isn't good in general, but the food at this place was decent at least.

Room was tiny. Staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel allowed use of all the amenities while waiting for room to be ready. Restaurant and bar on premise. Complimentary coffee and water available. We thorough enjoyed our stay.

We booked a king size water view room priced at 600.00/night. The room was so tiny that we could not unpack our suitcases. The bathroom was updated but also very small. Very little space to store cosmetics and toiletries as well as to hang towels. The guy who checked us in was not welcoming and frankly could not have been less interested . I would like to compliment the beach attendant who went out of his way to find us chairs and came over several times with water. Every staff member in the hotel should have his work ethic and attention to customer service. We took a walk over to The Gothic, your sister property, and were surprised at how poorly maintained the lawn and entrance area was.
