We've stayed here for the last 6 years. It's the friendliest and overall best on the island. The breakfast buffet and wine and cheese in the afternoon are great. We stayed at the rest and liked this the best.

After many years of coming to Block Island, we can honestly say that our stay at the 1661 Inn was not only our worst experience on Block Island, but the worst stay we have ever had in any inn or hotel. There are many comments we could make about the outdated furnishings and the paper-thin walls, but we will cut to the chase instead to tell you ...

It was a beautiful room that was very clean and had a wonderful jacuzzi tub, which was nice for sore muscles or relaxing. The location was very convenient, off to the side of the main strip. The service was ...

beautiful hotel. just investigate the different rooms - trust me, they're different. Some are pretty cramped. All in all, a great experience. Staff was incredible.
