The staff is friendly, the service is excellent. Rita, Mr. Abrams, Elizabeth, Zoraida and the rest of the staff at The 1661 and Manisses take care of everything, no detail is overlooked. Rooms are clean. The champagne breakfast served at the 1661 is out of this world, i advise anyone visiting Block Island to eat at the 1661 for breakfast-... More

My husband and I truly loved our stay in the 1661. I booked to stay one night, called to make sure the correct room went through and date. The woman told me that the room I wanted was a queen size and that the tub wasn't working so she kindly moved us into a more expensive king size room with... More

From the moment you get off the Ferry, you realize you have gone back 120 years in time. Hotel Manisses is staffed mostly by young people from Ukraine and Serbia. They are superb. Breakfast is fabulous. You can eat healthy and also enjoy corned beef hash, baked beans etc. You may wish to wash it down with a mimosa. Also... More

Stayed a week at the Dodge Cottage of the 1661 Inn & Hotel Manisses. Clean, convenient, affordable with full breakfast included. Amazing champagne breakfast with all the fixings to be enjoyed on the enclosed porch or flower lined patio.

I have been visiting my sister in the RI area for the last 30 years from the UK but until the last 2 days I have never been to Block Island. What a mistake wish I had made the short crossing before now as it is a fantastic island to visit. Booked last minute to stay at The Nicholas Cottage... More

We arrived on Block Island in a driving rainstorm. What looked at the start to be a lost couple of days, instead became a precious and cozy experience for my husband and me. Even though we were early (by at least a couple of hours) and our room wasn't ready, the receptionist let us store our luggage in the room... More
