Great location, great vibe and staff. However so disappointed when walked into a tiny tiny room. So small it was uncomfortable moving around in and for the price-it was not cheap I was very disappointed. Way over priced.

Liked: Staff & service
Pros: perfect location right on Crescent Beach. Lounge chairs and umbrellas available if you get out there early enough. Staff was nice and responded professionally to every interaction. Cons: Pool? Never told there is one & did not see it. I was in the king with balcony first few nights. Shade Missing off the door so people outside could see you showering. Staff at desk was nice and brought up a temporary shade. The balcony is off the bathroom 👎. Room is extremely small. No room to move about. Rug under the bed filthy and tv did not work. (See video of rug. Still pic of rug is what it looks like in the queen room and what it should look like). Ac ran all night even though it was turned to off. Moved to queen with balcony for last night. This room is so much better. Cleaner. Rug looks normal. I wish I was in the Queen whole time as I feel it is a better value and the balcony is where it should be. It also costs a lot less for a better room. Restaurant: for the amount of money we are paying to stay here there should be waiters. Instead you have to order your food at the bar and seat yourself. No water or soda machine for when bar is closed. They could put one outside on their porch or the gravel patio outside. The hotel doesn’t sell bottled water either. I get it. It’s block island. You are paying for location but if you are going to charge the same price as an exclusive resort in the Caribbean there should be improvements. King with balcony video attached.

The property is in one of the best locations, with a great team of friendly staff, and has some great potential to provide an amazing experience. However there were a slew of issues. Mini fridge didn't work in the room and when asked for a fix it took two days to get a new one, the ice bucket was full of ash from cigarettes, many fruit flies and other flying insects were present in the room, the window had a sign not to open but it was not sealed with no screen allowing more insects to enter. Additionally when I pay for ocean front accomodations I want to be able to open the window to hear the ocean, not having a functioning window was very disappointing. The bed was a full size bed haphazardly propped up on books as the bed frame was compromised, the booking said it was a queen bed. And finally when the do not disturb sign was on the door, taking a snooze, someone aggressively knocked on the door. I was hoping to review with a manager on site but it seemed there were only student staff available and hoping to speak to someone about the quality of stay compared to the substantial pricetag.
