Spring House Hotel

Amazing a**osphere around the hotels properties. The restaurant and live entertainment were super cool. The staff in the restaurant were very attentive. The guest and people stopping by for lunch or drinks and dinner were very friendly and so were their kids. The check in process was a little disturbing as since I checked in with my wife and my kids were staying at Ballards with grandma and I brought them up with me to the restaurant, the check in person after checking in blocked my keys as she thought that I was thinking of stuffing 5 kids into a couples only room and I was asked to show proof the rest of the family had a place to stay elsewhere in block island. I am glad this happened away from my lovely wife as I would be completely embarrassed that I was thought of in this manner. After I calmly repeated that my wife and I will be staying in the room and showed proof that my kids were staying at Ballards the person unblocked my keys and apologized. I guess one should not take their family up there if you are checking into a couples room as this front desk may think one is going to bring kids into a couples only room. Aside from this ugly misunderstanding I loved the place.

The Spring House Staff was very nice, but would not bend for customer satisfaction. I visited the hotel the year before and decided to make this a yearly trip. My husband tested positive the day before we were to leave to go to Spring House this year. I listened to my doctor and my husband quarantined for 5 days. I thought it was best not spread the virus. I lost $800 and they would not give me even a partial refund. After many calls and a promise for a gift card, which I never got, I sent a letter to the owners thinking they may be of some help. Not so much. I thought if I got a partial refund, I would go again next year, but not the case. I nor my friends or family will visit the hotel again!

Wednesday evening dinner in the main dining room started off well with tasty cocktails of Paper Plane and Ruby Red Lemonade. However, once the glasses were empty, nobody came by to see if we wanted seconds. The New England Chowder delivered creamy broth, soft potatoes , and ample clams. A Wellness Salad was selected as an entree, and while it was fresh, the overall size, and particularly the amount of the added protein, was disappointing. The other entree was swordfish, which was ample in size, had tasty vegetables surrounding it, and was anointed with a delicious bluer blanc sauce. However, the center was not thoroughly cooked. We skipped dessert….in part because nobody came by to inquire whether we were interested in dessert. Service (with Sarah D), as suggested by comments above, was lacking…never came by to see how our meals were, and we had to flag down someone in order to get the bill. Whether this issue is house wide, or limited to our server we can’t say, but can only present our experience.

This is a beautiful hotel that has been updated but retains its vintage charm. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the rooms are well-appointed. I would not want to stay anywhere else on Block Island.

First time visiting Block Island. My husband and and I loved the Spring House, especially our dinner at the Barn- we had a fillet that was better than the Capital Grille! Hang out on the chairs and have a drink and a snack while listening to live entertainment (mellow) or take a walk down the road to Ballard’s a fun venue with live bands. Looking forward to our next trip here.

We made a reservation online for a room that slept 4 with an ocean view. While we were on the ferry, we received a call that the room was not available. After several phone calls, we finally did receive the room that we booked, but it was a stressful start. Later that day, our daughter's bike was stolen from the property. The management was dismissive when I reported it and laughed that this happens all of the time on Block island. They do not have signage at the bike racks or cameras, so beware

My husband and I enjoyed celebrating his 50th birthday weekend at The Spring House hotel. We stayed on a Friday and Saturday night and it was quite busy. We arrived early so they checked our bag while we set out to explore the island. The staff was very friendly and eager to answer our questions about what to see and do. Their enthusiasm demonstrated their love of the Block. The cocktails at the inside bar were interesting and expertly crafted, but don't order a mudslide here - try one of their specialty cocktails like the Sicilian Lemonade or Spring House Ricky! Both are divine. We were sadly not able to enjoy a drink on the lawn in their famous Adirondack chairs, they were always full. I wish they'd add some more, there was plenty of room. The room was small, but clean and comfortable. All you need for a good night's rest after walking all day, but not a place you'd want to hang out in for long. The view is not what I'd necessarily boast as ocean view. Yes, you could glimpse the ocean from the small dormer window. Still, it is one of the more luxurious hotels on Block Island. The views from the wrap-around porch are nothing short of stunning. We did not have a chance to eat at the barn, but did dine at the restaurant inside the Spring House, as well as on the porch. The food was delicious, clearly made with the freshest ingredients. The margarita pizza was hands down the best I've ever had, and I'm from the New Haven area so I've had some good pies. There is some beautiful artwork on display throughout the property, worth taking a few moments to look at. Overall, it was a lovely stay.

Family summer vacation yearly, we will book again next summer. Been staying onBlock Island for 30 years and loved it at the Spring House.

We try to celebrate our anniversary on Block Island every August with at least a toast or dinner at Spring House and a stay on occasion..for # 42 we have a charming ocean view room and had dinner in The Barn for first time. Very impressed w staff at both- & shout out to beautiful Armonique who was everywhere making sure everything perfect at reception then at Barn during dinner. A special place indeed ...Thank you, all!
