Employees were very helpful. One suggestion i have is to provide a microwave at the coffee station or in the cafe.
Also the pool was too hot. It felt like a hot tub , so it was not comfortable to actually swim. A good temperature would be 84-88 degrees F.
We were in room 126. The bed was tilted so that the head end was lower than the foot end. This was uncomfortable. It looked like they tried to fix the problem with books under the bed posts, but it still is not enough. It would also be really helpful to have a small shelf or table on the door side of the bed and more hooks. Overall, it was a very nice place.

Great stay with amazing staff! Had a wardrobe emergency moments before our taxi was coming to take us to a wedding and one of the staff went out of her way to locate some safety pins that saved the day! Everyone we interacted with was so nice and helpful. The location of the hotel also can’t be beat.

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.

Rooms are tiny but nicely appointed. Overpriced for what you get - but pool is nice and has a hip vibe.

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.

The location is excellent and the views from the deck are the best. The bars are very nice too, good Bloody Mary. The room upgrades from the old days now have en suite and wall mounted AC and the pricing reflects that. The king bed fills the small room so there's not much space to get around. For the high price, this is not a luxury hotel but very nice for Block Island. The beach area has a lot of broken glass in the sand, so be careful. It would be nice if the personnel working the beach did a morning inspection and picked up whatever glass they can.

It's a really lovely hotel in a perfect location. The staff is really nice. There is a coffee bar and restaurant on site. I would absolutely stay there again. A little detail that makes a huge difference is the black washcloth in the bathroom for female face washing. It is such a simple thing, but oh so clever! Why do other hotels not do the same? Briliant!

Lovely hotel
Elevated and with thoughtful touches throughout such as an insulated bag and umbrella in the room for use during our stay, lots of filtered water stations, fresh coffee in the mornings, books everywhere, and lots of helpful staff. Great location on the water and walkable from the ferry drop. Use of the umbrellas and fresh towel service were also appreciated.
