We can hardly understand what others were commenting on in these reviews. The Spring House is an old Grand Hotel with the ambiance and character of one. We loved the veranda for drinks and relaxation in the evening and then in the morning for breakfast, with the sun rising over the ocean. The views are the best on the island,... more

Unfortunately most of the poor reviews are correct. The hotel is in desperate need of renovations. We did not spend the night at the Spring House. Our room was in unsatisfactory condition, dirty with an unpleasant odor. We asked to switch to another room and were told that would not be possible. I was on vacation and did not want... more

I was planning on visiting this hotel as a birthday gift from a friend this August. When we arrived at the dock to take the ferry over I was told by the ticket office that the ferry may not be running because Hurricane Bill was causing 25ft swells...and it woud not be safe to travel to Block Island.

My husband and I stayed at the Spring House for our first visit to Block Island, and we could not have picked a more beautiful place. The hotel was wonderful, and the veranda with its ocean views was the best! We enjoyed cocktails on the outside bar -- great bartender!!!

Our room was on the second floor, directly over the bar. When we returned to the hotel after eating... more

This was one of the very worst places we have ever visited. The rooms are tiny, no A/C , no TV, no amenities, and $280/night with a two night minimum. The staff is unpleasant, surly, and breakfast buiffet minimal- don't be 1 minute late for breakfast, because they close the doors. We went home after the first night - rather... more

I have never been treated with such disregard anywhere.Overpriced, and though physically beautiful,inattentive staff and indifference toward satisfaction. more

Our first trip to Block Island was 4th of July weekend, 2009. We found Spring House to be an impressive, elegant hotel, with an amazing location and view. Our room was clean and handsomely furnished, perhaps very recently renovated. Some of the reviews mentioned noise from the bar, but honestly even on Thursday night, Martini Night, we could barely hear... more

Yes, there ia a great view from this hotel and the location is very good. Block Island is a great place to visit. That said..... We flew a private plane into the island for an anticipated weekend We wanted to stay at the best place on the island, but ended up at the worst....We should have taken the hint with... more
