This is a beautiful place to stay on Block Island. The room (while a bit tiny) was well-appointed with modern facilities and products and all comforts. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the The Atlantic restaurant is excellent.

Great view well kept property. Nice place to sit outside have a cocktail and look out over the water. Boasts a high quality restaurant yet did not put out coffee in the morning or have in room coffee service despite the nearest location was fifteen minutes away For avg price of 400 plus per night cannot even put out coffee and a continental breakfast for guests. Please cheap.

This property is stunning. One of the statement places on the island. The staff is very courteous and accommodating. We had an issue with our room, they upgraded us for one of the most beautiful rooms, no questions asked!

Over all it was a good and clean place. However, keep it mind there are no elevators and fridage and microwave in the rooms. We booked a suite. It was extremely tight space.

Due to the Atlantic Inn not being able to accommodate guests for safety reasons, we were upgraded to their Sister hotel, The Rose Farm Inn which was lovely. We loved the Jacuzzi in our room. The communication was terrific.

Wonderful BI getaway
Lovely relaxing stay at a classic BI hotel. Really enjoyed the on-site dining for dinner, sunset views, and the ability to walk into town or the beach. Would stay again.

Very little aid to a first time visitor to block island. No mention of beach towels; had to ask specifically for key and room number when it wasn't offered after we checked in. Music in bar started at 5am on a Tuesday morning and no one was around to turn it off. Could be heard for hours in our room with no one around to open up the bar and turn it off. No accommodation or apology given. No food or coffee around. Better to stay across the street at Spring House Hotel where you could find a breakfast sandwich and coffee. Beautiful space for drinks on the lawn but that doesn't make up for the very, very laid back nature of everyone who works here.
