I had an amazing stay at this inn. Would definitely recommend to anyone considering staying. I stayed in a smaller room and had a shared balcony and shared bathrooms. Definitely worth it in consideration to the location being close to all of the restaurants as well as the gorgeous view. The breakfast was amazing as well as all of the staff being extremely helpful to make sure I was happy and satisfied with my stay. Everything was cleaned very thoroughly as well and I have no complaints in regard to the cleanliness of my room as well as the lobby and dining area.

The 1661 inn was a dream to stay at. I have always wanted to see block island in the winter and we finally made the trip during a freezing January weekend. I’m so glad the inn is open year round to accommodate guests. And while it was only us and one other man staying at the hotel they still offered us all the fanfare including wine and cheese and a beautiful breakfast. The room was gorgeous and the view was incredible. The sheets and towels were so soft, the room was cozy and impeccably clean. I also love that every room is different and unique in its decor! The staff was so friendly and polite. Thank you 1661 inn, we will be back :)

Off season was gorgeous and quiet and the weather and temperature were surprisingly comfortable for hiking. The availability for shopping was nonexisting which was ok for us but there were not many dining choices open on the islandbut we enjoyed what was avaiable. They had a nice continential breakfast and wine and cheese at the inn which we enjoyed. Gluten free breakfast choices were available for choosing which was much appreciated.

I love overlooking the water. The decks are really spacious with great views. The people working there are some of the warmest, nicest people I've ever met.The owner, Rita Draper is always checking in with residents to ask how they're enjoying their stay. Lovely people, lovely place.
Nothing bad to say!

The ceiling in our room was hard to look at. It looked more like employee housing. But we love the property overall, and the bed and bedding were very comfortable.

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.

Love the 1661 and visit almost every year. This year they seemed a little behind on its cleaning on a few days we were there -- but usually it's very good. Wondering if they are having staffing troubles like many places.

An absolutely delightful stay for my family! The inn itself is lovely, our room was spacious and beautiful, breakfast was delicious and you couldn't ask for friendlier or more helpful staff. Easy walk to restaurants, shops, bike rentals. We purposely went in mid-spring for off-season quiet, and The 1661 Inn was the perfect balance of liveliness and relaxation. Visiting the camels and kangaroos at the farm across the street was a delightful bonus!
