10/10 Exceptional

The aesthetics and cleanliness of the hotel and outside beach bar were great. Private, quiet pool area that was nicely maintained. Perfect location- just a short walk from the ferry port and close to restaurants and shopping. Would go back to the Block Island Beach House in a heartbeat!
Julia, 2-night trip

Would stay here at the Block Island beach house without hesitation again
Charles, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was kind and helpful and the room and property were nicely kept. Our bed was a bit uncomfortable and it was a bit challenging to unlock our door at first, but otherwise we had a great time and would go back again.
Christopher, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful property that’s located right by the Block Island Ferry — you can be at the beach in < 10 minutes, drink in hand! Really cute space and incredibly accessible. Good drinks and decent food as well.

Updated, clean and convenient
Ryan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Range of friendliness of staff ..come out to BI every year just " post season"...try different places each time. Spent 2 nts here, spent almost $1000 and we're told that only " regular" coffee was avail, not enough people to make decaf. Stairs need cleaning & painting . Didn't use room cleaners but left a tip anyway ( former inn owner)😢

Aleksander, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Anniversary stay

Location was great, beach chairs/umbrella service and prime seating area with bar and food right there along with views from room were the best thing about this place. Climbing 4 flights of stairs to get to my room in 90 degrees with no ac on first floor or in hallways/stairways was the worst. And the room was tight, felt a little closed in.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The rooms were small but comfortable, the air conditioning worked great, tv was good. 5 minute walk from the ferry which was convenient. Hotel staff was friendly. We unfortunately were awakened three times during our stay by teenagers banging on our door and running down the fire escape stairs to get away. Food at the Surf was great but we didn’t enjoy dining on paper plates with plastic forks. Overall a nice time we spent our days at Ballard’s beach as the water and sand was cleaner.
Sean, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

I told them I had Expedia vip membership and they had no idea what I was talking about. I am also a member of the Lark club but they said bc I booked through Expedia I did not get any benefits. The staff was nice but not at all knowledgeable. The room was supposed to be cleaned but it wasn’t. The outdoor features and free coffee were the best qualities of the property. Just did not seem worth the night room night charge except for location.

Great location and the bed was incredibly comfortable
Michael, 1-night trip

This is the place to stay on the Block

We are regular travelers to BI and have always loved the Surf Hotel (BI BH) but never stayed until this time. Everything about the service exceeded expectations. Our room was ready, the online check in expedited our process. The room was immaculate, fabulous shower (which you can almost never say on the Block) - super friendly bartenders, and the guy setting up beach side umbrellas and chairs was incredible in 96 degree heat. The food was great, the check out was super easy- we will always come back.
Kathleen, 2-night trip

This is our third time staying there. We were in one of the satellite buildings. Room looked newly renovated and clean. Space was very small, however, even for two people wit
Darren, 2-night trip

This hotel is in a perfect location from the ferry landing, the beach, shops and nearby restaurants. We loved our stay.
John Louis, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff is amazing. Dedicated to its customers. Shout out to Christi on how she handled our stay. She deserves a promotion. Ryam GM did great as well. Tish and Georgiana at the front desk were friendly, clam, and supportive. We got the wrong room assigned by Expedia, and BIBH had to fix it and well they did the best job they could....however Expedia messed up.
Greg, 1-night trip

2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. Friendly staff. Nice lobby. Bar/restaurant had a great view. Comfortable bed. Staircase was a challenge with luggage. Coffee availability on our floor was not as promised. Size of room (small) made it hard to get in or out of door.
