We signed onto a package deal for 2 nights midweek and a fishing charter. The hotel was exactly what we expected - an old, Rhode Island seaside hotel, complete with uneven floors, creaky doors, and narrow staircases. We have stayed at most of the island hotels, and find this charming. Our room was directly across from the ferry dock and... More

The Harborside Inn was the perfect accomadation for us. The room was very clean and filled with sunlight. Bathroom looked like it had been recently renovated. The housekeepers did a great job as well and got us everything we asked for. The girls at the front desk were also very pleasant and check in was a breeze! My favorite part... More

The Harborside is a charming victorian inn with recently updated rooms. The location is amazing, you get off the ferry and within minutes you are at the wrap around deck and within minutes to the beach, shops and restaurants. The staff was fabulous and very helpful. We found our stay to be enjoyable and relaxing and look forward to staying... More

Nice hotel, lovely, helpful staff, room was traditional but we felt it was spacious and the wood everywhere was nice. HOWEVER it was boiling hot at night and we had no aircon, only a tiny fan, so we had to have the windows open, so we could hear everything from outside. Also, there was no overhead lights only 2 lamps,... More

My husband and I have been staying at the Harborside Inn for the last six years. Just recently the rooms have been adorably updated with new linens and exposed wood ceilings. The location is fantastic, directly in the middle of town with only a short walk to the beach. The mid week specials are fantastic, there is no better place... More

We stayed in the Harborside last weekend, in August, and paid $280/night including tax for three nights for me, my wife and two girls, ages 10 and 13. The hotel is conveniently located in front of the ferry, the only problem being that when you sit on the lovely wooden porch area the diesel fumes smell sometimes wafts onto your... More

We travel to Block Island for a mini vacation (two days, one night) with our two daughters, one under 2 and one over 10. While it is a very short walk from the Pt. Judith ferry to the Inn, I recommend bringing a wagon or something to lug your stuff if you have a lot like we did; cooler, beach... More

I would not suggest this hotel for anyone that is looking for a clean, bright place to stay. The rooms are tiny, no real lighting( dim lamps) beds are small and not real comfortable. The bathroom is tiny---no spot to place a toiletries bag, no blow dryer, no iron, no fridge, no alarm clock. There was a tv that was... More

My boyfriend and I recently went to the Harborside Inn for a romantic getaway weekend. We were told "not to worry" by the woman who we spoke to on the phone. "The ocean breeze will make up for having no air conditioning. You won't even be able to tell that there's no air conditioning." Is what she told us. WRONG!... More
