Classic old fashioned Block Island inn. Don’t stay here if you’re expecting luxury. Great location. Good for a brief trip.

No air conditioning or TV. It’s a summer getaway spot you could atleast spend $100-$200 on an AC for your guests to be comfortable while they sleep. Everyone was very nice and everything seems very clean but the lack of basic necessities is disappointing.

Glen was an excellent desk manager. My wife liked the Buffet at 1661 so much she is raving about it to all her friends.Safety: I don't think there is a safer island on the East CoastWalkability: whether you walk or ride a bike everything is within 10 to 20 minutes.
