I've stayed here twice mainly because it is dog friendly, I was surprised to see it got such terrible reviews. Yes it's a bit warn, but in general clean and a good location minutes from the beach etc. You can also see the water from the rooms I've stayed in. As far as the no AC thing, I don't think... More

First off, Block Island is such a wonderful place in itself that I do not think it matters where you shack up…just as long as you’re there. My husband and I chose the Gothic Inn, mainly because it was within our price range and dog-friendly. However, we got much more than we thought. We stayed in one of the four... More

It's the people that make the place...the owner Ben, the Innkeeper Cindy and the House keeper Ceyonie all went out of their way to be sure we had everything we needed. Everything's well worn, but very clean. Breakfast from hardboiled eggs to finely chopped Mellon and yogurt. We'll be back. More

The Gothic Inn was recommended to us by friends as being a peaceful and relaxing place to stay. After reading the past reviews I was a little nervous but booked anyway. Figured for a weekend trip it would be ok as most of the day would be spent at the beach or sightseeing. We were very pleasantly surprised. It a... More

If the rate for these rooms was under $100 a night, I'd say you get what you pay for. The owners obviously can't or won't put any money into rugs, mattresses, furniture, screens for the windows, etc. I can't believe I paid what I did to stay here - and we were in one of the less expensive rooms. The... More

I read some of the other reviews and felt I had to share mine. We (two couples) stood in Apt #11. We found it pretty clean and the maid even hurried cleaning it so we could get in early. Cindy was very nice and accomodating. As far as the noise, well anyone who frequents Block Island knows it is a... More

Unfortunately, we were kept awake both nights by the carousers until 2:00 am or so. The odors from the pizza place dumpster next door wafted our way, and that wasn't too pleasant, either. The breakfast was great as well as the views from the porch. I suppose if you come to the island to go out and party at night... More

I found the location and outdoor shower fabulous! When I booked this location I was looking for a place not too far from the ferry and wouldn't need a vehicle to get around and enjoy the town, beach etc... I got exactly what I was told by Cindy the Innkeeper Manager. I feel she represented the Gothic very well to... More
