The Best Place for a Winter Getaway
The 1661 inn was a dream to stay at. I have always wanted to see block island in the winter and we finally made the trip during a freezing January weekend. I’m so glad the inn is open year round to accommodate guests. And while it was only us and one other man staying at the hotel they still offered us all the fanfare including wine and cheese and a beautiful breakfast. The room was gorgeous and the view was incredible. The sheets and towels were so soft, the room was cozy and impeccably clean. I also love that every room is different and unique in its decor! The staff was so friendly and polite. Thank you 1661 inn, we will be back :)

Off season was gorgeous and quiet and the weather and temperature were surprisingly comfortable for hiking. The availability for shopping was nonexisting which was ok for us but there were not many dining choices open on the islandbut we enjoyed what was avaiable. They had a nice continential breakfast and wine and cheese at the inn which we enjoyed. Gluten free breakfast choices were available for choosing which was much appreciated.

Great place, but slipping a bit.
Love the 1661 and visit almost every year. This year they seemed a little behind on its cleaning on a few days we were there -- but usually it's very good. Wondering if they are having staffing troubles like many places.
