The staff was wonderful, so helpful in every way! The complimentary brunch on Mother's Day was wonderful! The Inn is just gorgeous! Only concern was our door to our room really wouldn't lock. You can just push it open without a key. One morning I woke to it ajar. The wind must have opened it.

Not Satisfactory

The room was terrible. There was an overpowering smell of air freshener that permeated the room, including the bedding. During the middle of the night, a panel spontaneously fell off the wall startling us both (see photo). It exposed a void in the wall containing what appeared to be electrical connections that do not meet code. We told the desk clerk at checkout who appeared to be less than concerned about our experience. Given the recent fire on the island, I would think electrical connections like those in the photo would be corrected! The shared bathroom was not very clean and extremely dated. Given the significant fee for the night, we expected a MUCH better experience. We would likely not consider staying at the property again. I will say our friends stayed at the Eureka at the same expense and had a significantly better experience.

Fabulous Inn

Our stay at The 1661 Inn was magical. It is a beautiful place with the most friendly and caring staff. We enjoyed the fabulous breakfast each day and were happy to return after exploring for a glass of wine and wonderful snacks in the afternoon. We hope that we can return for another stay at 1661.

Best Inn on Block Island.

1661 Inn is an excellent venue. Great views of white cliffs, harbor and ocean. Accommodations come with a daily wine and cheese bar. Inn is within walking distance of the town & resturants. Staff is friendly, pleasant and willing to help you enjoy the island and its amenities.

Two nights in Block Island

The location is perfect. Walking distance to the ferry and across the street from a small farm, which is fun to visit. The complimentary wine and cheese at 4pm is a nice way to start the evening.

The 1661 Inn is a perfect place to stay on Block Island. The staff is wonderful, the location is perfect and the breakfast buffet is fresh, delicious and inexpensive. I also enjoyed the complimentary happy hour. I stayed in the Terry room, perfect for one person - might be a little tight for two people. I would definitely stay there on my next visit to Block Island.

Our stay at 1661 was the perfect location for us to attend a wedding, walk into town, visit their farm & animals, enjoy daily wine & nibbles and breakfast coffee & muffins. We also had 2 opportunities to enjoy the breakfast buffet and both mornings had delicious offerings with home-grown veggies & fresh flowers. Our room was very small which is typical of country inns, but everything was new & immaculate with daily towel exchange & fresh flowers. We even had a private patio! Wonderful people& beautiful weather!
