We were assigned a room in The Gables on the 3rd floor. Very steep stairway but our bags were delivered to our room. The room was ridiculously small. One of us had to sit in the bed while the other got showered and dressed. Shower door only opened a quarter of the way before it hit the toilet. Had to turn sideways to walk between the end of the bed and the tv on the wall. Called the front desk this morning to have our bags carried down and let it ring for 15 minutes and no one answered. For a cost of over $1300 for 2 nights, we expected much more. Terribly overpriced!

Initially, we booked the Oceanview King Suit, and a week before we came we were offered an upgrade to the Gables Poolside King Suit, which we took; we were celebrating our honeymoon. When we arrived, we were given the ADA Suite that is positioned on the street, with a window that overlooks the handicap elevator. Apparently there was a water main break up at the Gables location, but still, this was poorly taken care of. The employees have no idea what’s going on, and they also don’t really appear t care. We asked to speak with a manager right away because it’s unacceptable, especially with no notice or explanation as to why they resorted to give us an ADA room… the bed was at our ankles & we had to squat to look into the mirror and brush our teeth…. We didn’t get in touch with a manager until the next afternoon when she decided to come in (we were told by the staff she would be in at 9am, and we had to stand around waiting for her to be told she wouldn’t be in until later). The manager, McKenna, gave us another room, and this one had broken AC unit. We downgraded our room & no discount?We also had a family enter our room one evening because they were given the keys.. The employees treat you as if you’re a bother, if you don’t wanna work and engage with good customer service, go home. I have never written a review before, but this is warranted considering the experience we had. If we ever come back to BI, we definitely will not be staying with Block Island Beach House.

Range of friendliness of staff ..come out to BI every year just " post season"...try different places each time. Spent 2 nts here, spent almost $1000 and we're told that only " regular" coffee was avail, not enough people to make decaf. Stairs need cleaning & painting . Didn't use room cleaners but left a tip anyway ( former inn owner)😢

I told them I had Expedia vip membership and they had no idea what I was talking about. I am also a member of the Lark club but they said bc I booked through Expedia I did not get any benefits. The staff was nice but not at all knowledgeable. The room was supposed to be cleaned but it wasn’t. The outdoor features and free coffee were the best qualities of the property. Just did not seem worth the night room night charge except for location.
