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.

Not worth the cost

We were underwhelmed from the start. We checked in to 3 agents and since we didn’t pre check in they made us do it on our phone instead of checking us in. They seemed very annoyed we hadn’t done pre check in. They also did not explain any of the amenities (that we were being charged $30 per day for)Then we went to our room that we had spent a great deal on. It was in the basement of one of the off site properties, the gothic house. Room was musty smelling and the floors were so uneven - almost seemed like there were tree roots underneath. The AC unit made noises all night that kept us awake. The price is not worth the stay at this hotel. Book something else and just go to the restaurant for lunch and drinks.
