Have stayed at the 1661 many times and we are always completely satisfied. Staff is terrific and always sees that you have everything you need. Excellent breakfast included with stay. More

Of course, if you're been to Block Island before you know that it truly is another world. That said, the hotel standards are completely different from back on the mainland. I would never tolerate a room with no television or air conditioning elsewhere, but the quaint, back to basics style at the hotel manisses and it's other properties are perfect... More

We stayed at the 1661 Inn. The people are very pleasant and helpful. The champagne buffet breakfast was absolutely wonderful! Lots to choose from and a few different items were available each day. My husband absolutely loved the baked blue fish. This is hard to find, and one of the reasons we chose the Inn. The muffins were also very... More

We found the Inn to be well run and meeting its advertised expectations. The room was interesting and ready for guests (even with a pitcher of ice waiting for us), and the service was entirely satisfactory. The breakfast was a pleasant experience, and included a large salmon lying on a tray in front of a few bottles of champagne. In... More

We stayed in the Tosh at the 1661 Inn. The balcony view is wonderful. This is my second time and my husbands first and he was still surprised with the edibles. We went after Labor Day and the timing was perfect. The rates were better when we called after getting off of the ferry. I can't say enough about the... More

We just returned from Block Island and stayed at the Hotel Manisses in the Antionette room. We love block island and have been there 5 other times but this is the first at this hotel. Pros: Good location. Near shops, restaurants, beaches. Wine and cheese hour at the 1661 Inn has the best views of the ocean. The complimentary breakfast... More

A relaxing Hotel with nice old front porch to people watch! Walk into town. If you appreciate an old historic building with alot of wood work and old stair cases, this is it. The living room was great to socialize.A nice place for couples or well behaved children. We had a small quaint room with queen size bed, overlooking the... More

Almost great. Our room - the William Frederick, was decent, especially compared to some of the other rooms we snuck a peak at during housekeeping. But what was sold to us was the great tub with jets, which was useful on the first night we arrived in a storm... yet the stoppers didn't work and the water kept draining out.... More
