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

We loved every moment of our stay. It was my husband's birthday and we chose this Inn because of it's beautiful view. We'll be back for the wonderful atmosphere, superb service and good food. Thank you, 1661.

The 1661 Inn & Hotel Manisses has been most accomodating every time I've visited the island. The rooms have great amenities with a central location and pleasant staff. Thanks 1661!! I was delayed due to business and 1661 allowed me to book another room! They were very gracious and gave me a nice room with a wonderful view. The staff... 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

Breath-taking views, well manicured property, clean rooms....... a perfect vacation on the Block. Breakfast was wonderful, the gathering in the aft for snacks and beverage was a bonus. Very peaceful and I would not hesitate to go back.

I stayed with my young adult children for 2 nights - the location was great and the breakfast was terrific, the cheese and nibbles in the late afternoon was perfect! The rooms were hot - no AC - no television in our rooms but there are no complaints regarding that ! Awesome hotel - will definitely book again.
