First off I'm not a very fussy person, but I wouldn't stay at The Spring House again. We had a standard room with ocean view. However, the windows were SO small that it really wasn't much of a view. Again, I'm just stating the obvious and didnt really care because we were not here to spend our time in the... More

On the one hand, it's a grand old hotel with all of the charm of one, and made even more appealing by it's superb location. Easy walk from the ferry but more importantly, situated on a hilltop overlooking the ocean with unobstructed views...beautiful. The grounds are made extra enjoyable by the row of perfectly placed adirondack chairs so you can... More

The Spring House Hotel is the Oldest on the Island, however, its recent renovation has resulted in rooms that are: comfortable in size, must and dust free, bathrooms that are spacious for the Island, and flat panel TVs. The Management is "BI friendly" and the staff are SUPER. They went out of their way to load/unload heavy luggage from our... More

This is my second time coming to the Spring House Hotel. My boyfriend and I came here for the first weekend in October. I love staying here!! My parents stayed here when they were first married too!!! It is the oldest hotel on the island and all I can say is the history here is so incredible. You walk into... More

Six of us stayed in Bristol guest house. There was NO hot water the whole time we were there! We repeatedly told them and and they came once to attempt to fix it and then just stopped coming. Manager was difficult to get a hold of and rude and unaccommodating when finally did return calls. This place is expensive and... More

For such a beautiful hotel on the outside I don't understand why they don't make the rooms a little nicer. Better beds & bedding would make all the difference and make it feel luxurious yet with the same old cham. Stayed in the main house (which is also where I stayed in 2007) and then the annex another night (had... More

I agree with all of the negative reviews, I've stayed here twice. The first time I chalked up my discontent to a very loud and drunk wedding. The second stay was more quiet but the hotel room was tired, dated, not very clean--with a bed that should have been replaced long ago. My room was on the third floor--no water... More

I stayed at the Spring House Hotel this past weekend because I was attending a wedding and reception at the hotel. I had never been to Block Island before and had no idea what to expect. The Spring House is a very beautiful turn of century (19th century) hotel with magnificent views of the ocean from its hillside perch. It... More

I've been going to Block Island for years and have always stayed at a different place. If you've never been to BI you should know there are no 5 star hotels, however there are some very charming places. Also, only a very few have air conditioning. Block Island is charming but can only be reached by boat or plane. So... More

My wife and I try to get to the Springhouse each summer. We love it there. This summer we spent 3 nights in the Annex house. I am sorry to report that it didn't live up to the mainhouse. The Annex house is the "red-headed step child" to the main house, but it could be great. We had a room... More
