This was my (maybe) eighth visit to the 1661 and I keep returning because there is nowhere else on the Island I care to be! Not only are the rooms impeccably clean, but the staff is courteous, helpful and friendly. Rita is so sweet and approachable. She is so friendly, my husband is convinced she knows us, though I do my best to convince him we are only two of thousands of visitors a year, she is THAT hospitable! Thank you AGAIN for such a wonderful stay 1661! Can’t wait to return!!❤️ R LaFlamme

This is our 2nd 2 night stay at this beautiful Inn located off the beaten track. The rooms are clean and beautiful. The breakfasts are delicious with ocean views and jazz playing. The innkeepers are kind and donate to local shelters. Listen to the birds on the deck while sipping tea. Highly recommend.

Great, responsive staff, very nice / new building, great location.

Reviewed By nyclayton

We had a great long weekend at the Inn at Spring House in early spring, 2022. We've stayed at many spots on the island, and this is a standout. The building is quite new, and simply but tastefully furnished. There was an odd snafu (unrelated to the property itself) and the staff was very responsive with an upgraded room. The b'fast chef was excellent, and he does double-duty up at the wonderful Barn restaurant.

Ballard's

Ballard’s is a famous resort on its own beach. Ballard’s provides a distinct modern sophisticated design. Our rooms provide all modern amenities including air conditioning and private balconies. Our dining area offers breathtaking ocean views. Our beach offers daily chair and umbrella rentals where you can lounge while servers bring drinks and food to you. ONLY BALLARD’S HAS IT ALL.

Filthy and over priced

Reviewed By Mark H

We visited for a mudslide as the Oar wasn't open. We were given menus without prices (but they mentioned an 18% service charge added so there was no need to tip). The cocktails were served in horrible plastic cups and when we paid the server still presented the option of tipping on top of the 18%! The restrooms were absolutely disgusting. Trash cans overflowing, towels all over the floor and no toilet tissue in the ladies. Go elsewhere!

Don't do it

Dirty. Places of fire hazard. No housekeeping. We asked for a second fan during the Heatwave and they did not have one to give. Nobody cleans the dirty bathroom. There is no longer a restaurant here. Not a bleach bottle in sight.

Dishonest host violating terms

Reviewed By Resnet

I made a reservation at blockislandreservations.com and paid in full. Unfortunately an accident prevented me from making the trip as scheduled. After studying the terms of the reservation, I realized that the reservation, though non-refundable, was changeable subject to a change fee. I called for a change, and the lady on the phone claimed it was not changeable. I had to send over through email a screenshot of the booking page showing the terms, and the lady changed her story and claimed the ”no-change policy” was in a “reminder” email sent after the reservation, which I never received. After some back and forth, the lady had to reluctantly admit the “no-change policy” did not exist at the time of making the reservation. Though the fact was finally clear, the lady showed no intention to resolve the issue in a constructive manner: the only thing she suggested was that I sue in court. While preparing to escalate this for a resolution, I am sharing the experience so that you understand the type of host you will deal with when booking at blockislandreservations.com.
