Old Town Inn

Wow, this place is truly a gem! So glad I stumbled upon it. While it's not exactly in town, it has so many other benefits. To start, the rooms are large and beautifully decorated/newly renovated. We loved the contemporary/beach decor. Thankfully, it's NOT a stuffy Victorian B & B. We were so comfortable there from the start. The common spaces were bright, tasteful and spacious. We loved the outdoor fire pit (there are actually 2), gazebo, the corn hole games, delicious breakfasts out on the deck overlooking the expansive yard, stargazing from the Adirondack chairs, the list goes on and on. Neal was such a wonderful host, too! Ok, so the location...it's much more quiet than it would be staying in town. There's ample parking, and many of the guests bring their cars. We brought our bicycles instead, and loved that we embarked on this super fun adventure. We're in our late 50's and are pretty good cyclists, so it was a perfect choice. Contrary to popular belief, Block Island isn't flat, so if you're thinking of tooling around on a rental bike, maybe you should rethink that plan. However, it's only about mile walk to town and there are plenty of cabs (Ubers, maybe?) to take you to wherever you want to go. In fact, even though we had our bikes, we walked to town for dinner each night (didn't want to drink and pedal). I truly hope that we'll return to Block Island again. We had never been there, and it was absolutely lovely. We would definitely plan to stay at the Old Town Inn again!

We stayed here for a very fun girls’ weekend. The Inn is in a lovely historic building but the accommodations were bright (lots of windows), spacious, and very modern! My room (#10) had lovely views from every window—even the bathroom! The property is beautiful and common areas are roomy and comfortable. The Inn’s location is terrific—close to everything but also peaceful. We hiked, saw seals, went into town, drank and ate to excess, laughed a lot, and had a ball! I hope to be back!
