Cute Inn! The staff was very helpful and the location was perfect. Very close to the ferry but off the main road and an animal farm next door. Highly recommend!

Carlos, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

History, modern comfort, pretty!

Probably most central and I think most modern hotel on the island. Public spaces, lobby, gardens are lovely and rooms are well lit, beautifully appointed and very comfy beds. Keep in mind that it is a historic building so bathrooms are tight but mine was bright, updated, CLEAN with great hot water pressure. Good mirrors for makeup etc. mini fridge, mini split ac iron hair dryer everything you’ll need. Only reason not 5 stars is shoulder season restaurant was closed. But coffee and small bar served in lobby. Pretty gardens and porch!!

This hotel was like a warm hug. The staff is so friendly it felt like staying with friends. This was the most unique hotel experience I have ever had. I can’t say enough good things about this place. The accommodations were lovely and they have truly thought about the little details. I would highly recommend a stay here and will definitely be going back again!

Great location, easy walk from ferry in Old Harbor with great dining options within East walking distance. Visiting midweek in early September ( PERFECT weather, less crowds ) made for an ideal 3 day getaway. Like having coffee available in lobby (2 flights down) but a walk to store for breakfast items needed ( hint there's a refrigerator in room so we knew to stick up for second morning) to be lazy!

We love the lobby and the staff. The grounds are beautiful! Our room had a private deck overlooking the rear gardens which are lovely and expansive. Fay went above and beyond to be sure all our needs were met- from very late check out to keeping something frozen for us which was important. We will be back!

Amazing Stay

The hotel staff was beyond amazing since I first booked and contacted them. I was traveling to propose and they helped when I was preparing the trip. The restaurant was unbelievably good, we were happily surprised with the quality of the food. The hotel staff was great enough to decorate the entire room with flowers and champagne at no extra charge after the proposal. The room was very clean with a nice balcony. I hope to return one day, thank you all for providing excellent service and going above and beyond to make our stay something extra special.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a delightful visit to the Manisses last weekend. The rooms were large and modernized with new door locks and other improvements, but the atmosphere of previous times was maintained in the décor of the rooms, and the spacious downstairs area, where there was room to sit down and have a coffee in small, spread -out comfortable couches. Outside, there was a beautiful cosey valley with many widely separate spots with tables and chairs to have a drink or dinner. The host at the desk was a gem- friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. By her keeping our baggage safe before and after our one-night stay, and allowing us to change for swimming, in the bathroom, we made our one night stay into a two-day visit to Block Island, whose main attractions were a short walk or bike ride from the hotel.

The location of the hotel is excellent. It’s an Easy walk to old harbor, the ferry, Ballards beach, shopping, 1661 farm and bicycle rentals. Friendly helpful staff at front desk and in housekeeping. The Hotel lobby is charming and comfortable with self serve coffee and water on hand. There’s also small bar inside the lobby and out on patio in front of the hotel. A perfect place to relax and watch the passersby. I Didn’t love the steep stairs to the third floor (no elevator, which is common in block island) but the room was lovely, had a queen bed and a distant water view. The air conditioning worked great, the bed was comfortable and the room was clean and freshly decorated. The mini bar and snack selection in the room was reasonably priced. I would definitely go back.

Never told us restaurant was closed. Shower did not work properly. No milk for coffee only the little creamers. Very expensive and it is inexcusable that they never told us no restaurant on premises when they advertise that it is open thru September.

Hotel was prime location but building could use some work/upgrades. The biggest issue I had was that there was a farm behind it and every morning from 5am-8am a rooster crowed incessantly..

Would stay again.

A lovely gem walkable to town in one direction and other hotels (especially Spring House where you can cocktail on the lawn) in the other direction. Having a room with a balcony was a plus for gorgeous breezes. But we forewarned, bathrooms are tiny.
