I just can't believe it! The Innkeeper called to tell me that the reservation that had been accepted months ago was being cancelled even though they had deposited our check at that time. His excuse was that he had booked a wedding for the same weekend and that he needed all of the rooms for the family and guests of... More

I must beg to differ with the writer who criticized the owner for his bad behavior. Our Cape Cod cycling group has stayed at the Atlantic Inn twice and plans to visit there again in the future. That's because the owner and staff couldn't not be more accommodating to provide for our comfort and needs. It's true that bikes are... More

First negative review I have ever taken the time to submit. Came to Block Island to race in their annual triathlon. After spending the first night in the inn the owner follows my family up to our room & starts yelling at me because house cleaning noticed my Tri bike in the second bedroom (tires up). I explained that the... More

While it is long overdue, a recent conversation with a guest of my September 2010 wedding reminded me that a review of The Atlantic Inn is worth my time, no matter how long ago the event took place. Minutes after my now husband and I announced our engagement to family and friends on Thanksgiving 2008; the question arose "Where do... More

Attended Wedding during a September "Wedding Weekend." Weather was great as were the views from the front porch. The Inn lived up to its reputation for excellent Restaurant ammenities (Bill Clinton, 1997). Unfortunately, the rooms, especially those on the third floor are HORRIBLE! They are small, musty, dusty and give an attic-like atmosphere. The windows are tiny so there is... More

Everythijng about the Atlantic was perfect. I was a bit reluctant because of some of the reviews here, but my girlfriend has been coming to Block Island over the years and had always wanted to stay at the Atlantic. We were able to secure a room here on Labor Day weekend, and were glad we did. We were in room... More

Rooms on Block are difficult. Very few have air conditioning, but most of the time, it's not needed. That said, we needed it!!! The ceiling fan couldn't help, just blew warm air around. (Room 11 has no cross ventilation) Our room was small, but clean. Quaint, vintage decor that was 10 minutes from being too dated. Didn't love the older,... More

While I had a great trip to Block Island, the Atlantic Inn did nothing to add to this experience. Prior to arriving my main concerns were the size of the room, the lack of air conditioning and no television. Not even one of these things was problematic. The room was small but we were able to manage dealing with it... More

This was the second time in two years that our bicycle club booked the Atlantic Inn for a May trip of 20+ folks traveling from Harwich and Chatham, MA. We rebooked after the first time because the management offered us a wonderful package and were flexible with our requests. The food was superb, beds more than comfortable and the Inn... More

This place was one of the worst stays I've ever had anywhere. The hotel owners were rude, and left trumped up charges on our bill, after we ate in the restaurant. The room was tiny and musty. Block Island should have an island seal, with a hand outstretched, and a fistful of money laid in the palm. What a ripoff.... More
