I am planning an overnight on block island. I have read all the hotel and inn reviews and although the comments are often favorable, the pictures do not get me very excited.
What is THE BEST accomodation there?
Luxury Accomodations: Do they exist on Block Island
Maybe the Manisses? That strikes me as probably the fanciest hotel on Island. Though there are some high end B%26amp;Bs like the Rose Farm Inn, which gets consistently good reviews.
But BI isn%26#39;t about luxury. It%26#39;s about being laid back. Service on Block Island is far more casual than attentive, and it%26#39;s a place with a lot more old ceiling fans than air conditioners.

My husband and I stay on BI quite often. There really is not a big hotel on the island as probably your thinking. There are many small B %26amp; B%26#39;s. When we stay there we always stay at the 1661 Inn or the Hotel Manisses. They are owned by the same owner. They are both older buildings, but they are charming and elegant in my opinion. The 1661 has quite a few rooms with ocean view, wrap around deck, fireplaces and jacuzzis. I don%26#39;t know if they accept one night reservations in the high season.
Also, the Manisses has an excellent restaurant with a great chef. If you get a chance, eat dinner there. If your looking for a lighter meal, try The Oar in New Harbor. Great lobster salad sandwiches!
