I had a reservation for the Blue Dory on 10/17/09. Unfortunately, the ferry was cancelled due to inclement weather and I had to postpone my stay. It took two phone calls and an e-mail for me to actually speak to someone who could provide the info I needed to re-book. When I finally got a confirmation a week later, I... more

We had a great trip to Block Island, and the Blue Dory was made to order for us. The room was quaint with a very comfortable bed. The room also had air conditioning which is not a given on Block Island. We were in the Avalon room. It had a narrow view of the water from the private small deck... more

This was out first time going to Block Island so we really didn't know what to expect. We had limited choices as to places to stay since we were traveling with our dog. We were given a room in the "Anastasia," which we found out was the guest house to the main house where the manager lives. It was located... more

The Blue Dory Inn is located very close to the down town area. It is very conveniant to the Ferry, the stores and restaurants. The rooms were clean and adequate, actually better than most of the downtown choices. Many of the other inns are really rather sparse. They had a nice breakfast that was served in the basement but if... more

Just came back from a wonderful weekend stay at the Blue Dory Inn. We stayed in the Love's Dream room; which was bright and romantic. We were not expecting a view as the details when we booked did not state one, but we were wonderfully surprised that we had a view of the harbour. The breakfasts were tasty and there... more

The Blue Dory Inn is overpriced for its INFERIOR accommodations. The inn is tired and run down, with an unresponsive manager and proprietor. We just returned from a four weekday night stay and were charged the maximum rate for the Queen Anne’s Lace Room. This was a small third floor attic room with a gabled ceiling that made it impossible... more

Our second trip to BI. Blue Dory is in a quiet location, yet only a few steps away from Water Street shops and restaurants. Our third-floor room had its own AC, not needed in the cool of May but probably nice in mid-summer, under the eaves. You have to have a tolerance for "cute" flowered wallpaper, antique dressers, creaky stairs,... more

The Blue Dory is a lovely seaside inn on the harbor. Perfect location as it sits right around the bend from the main street so it' s a bit quieter and yet an easy 5 minute walk from the ferry and therefore no need for a car. I research all my vacations ad nauseum so can tell you from experience... more

no amenity overlooked. What a great stay I had at the Blue Dory! For comfort, location, *bang for buck* -- I'm a believer! The linens, the toilet articles, the "happy hour" (and BI Barnacles!), the *breakfast* -- all top notch. Need a beach towel or beach chair, iron or hair-dryer, suggestion for dining or a beautiful walk? Yours for the... more
