I loved the acài granola oatmeal and berry bowl breakfast; but my husband, looking for a traditional eggs and toast on a plate was not happy with the 'bowls'. We both loved the beach and being right there and in the old harbor. Unique for BI. It was somewhat unexpected that the hotel was so nice on the beach side. We enjoying relaxing on the loungers and walking the beach. We liked the outdoor bar and grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches. Our room and bathroom were quite comfortable with a big sunny beach view. Staff were friendly and nice. One young woman came out and brought my suitcase up the stairs. I was grateful because I have a bad back. We love small older hotels with charm and this fit the bill there for us.

Nothing

Top floor and ocean views; daily complimentary coffee/tea bar (8am - 11am); cute hotel boutique in lobby; in house & beachside dining morning to night. Beachfront and lovely pool. Morning sunrise views & evening sunsets a bonus. Cheerful, helpful staff. Beachy decor throughout hotel.

No option to open windows for ocean breeze, one window had a screen but broken. If safety is a concern then window guards should be added. No seating area in room other than bed, a chair in room would be ideal. Dim lighting.

I really liked that the Block Island Beach House is a beach front property, it overlooks the ocean. The room we stood in had a partial ocean view, and from our window we were able to see the boats and ferries when they were leaving and coming to the island! The property was very clean, had a gift shop, a restaurant and bar, food and drinks at the restaurant and bar were all very good!

I didn’t like that the room was so small. It was a really nice, clean room, but it was smaller than what I’m used to.

Location was phenomenal. We walked and bikes everywhere and did not take a single taxi.the space to sit and lounge in the front and back of the hotel was great. There was always room for the 5 of us.

The noise in the morning! Our first morning, a family across the hall was continuously allowing their door to slam shut and talking freely throughout the hallway before 8am. That was the worst part of the trip. There was also never enough space at the beach for us to get lounge chairs or to even set up. We walked about a mile down for room. A particular bartender could have been much friendlier. Smiling is a bonus. The pricing is leaps and bounds more expensive than any other stay in the island we’ve done and have been coming for over 15 years.

Amazing location in center of town, charming property right on the beach with good food and drinks. Great ocean view from our room.

Our room was very small- basically just big enough for a king sized bed and on the 4th floor, with no elevator. The stairs are very steep and could be difficult to climb if you have physical limitations, especially carrying any baggage.

From the friendly staff, to the food and drinks and the well thought out design of the spaces and atmosphere, staying in the Gables was a dream come true for our honeymoon. We will be back next year!

There’s nothing to not like about the property. Everything was exceptional from the staff, location, spaces, food and drinks and more! 🤍

Loved the location! Easy access from the ferry, shopping and direct access to the beach. Restaurant was also very good. We enjoyed the back porch bar and the staff provided umbrellas and lounge chairs on the beach. Our room was extremely small but had a beautiful view and the air conditioning was great as it was very warm and humid. Bathroom shower and sink etc also very small.

Housekeeping staff were slow to respond to requests..... room was still not ready at 5 for shower and dinner.

We absolutely fell in love with Block Island! Last year we visited for 1 day, this year we added overnight; next year we would like to add another day. We loved renting bikes to explore the island!

Didn't know/or remember that room access at BIBH was stairs only, but it was ok for us. There weren't a ton of restaurants and bars open, but we do understand that we came in the off season.

BIBH was a perfect location for starters - in town and in the middle of things, but also right on the beach! The porch was an amazing spot for drinks, lunch or coffee in the morning. Rooms were chic, gorgeously decorated and comfortable. Enjoyed it all!

Can’t think of anything!

location! and cool vibe

rooms are soooooooo small!
