I love staying at this Inn. Its within walking distance to downtown shoppes and restaurants. The breakfast is wonderful and very affordable. I had eggs Benedict with the buffet champagne breakfast and could tell the eggs were farm fresh. We always stay in the suite with the jacuzzi tub. They offer to keep bags until you are leaving and a free shuttle to ferry. I love this property and highly recommend it to couples and families.

A piece of Heaven right here at the 1661 Inn. All staff were helpful, polite and very pleasant. Everything you can imagine for breakfast, and it was all delicious. The view from the deck off of our room was breathtaking. Our champagne and cookies were waiting for us which was a great way to start off our fun time on the Island.
