We enjoyed eating our breakfast out on the front porch and people watching. Great location. Our room was disappointing...the dresser drawers were stuck and hard to open and close, the cable TV was only basic channels, and the bathroom was very small and dated...shower water would go cold which was not good. ##### Kelly Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa 30 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities For the age of the hotel, it was very well maintained and very clean. The staff was all very friendly and accommodating. The hotel itself was very accommodating with storing bags until our checkin time and then the day or departure as well as providing beach towels. There was life music every night in the back patio area. It is loud until 10:00-10:30 but we did not mind it as we heard it from our room and enjoyed it. Great location on the island- amazing food and drinks at the restaurant and bars downstairs. We will be back! ##### Melissa Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert 8 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Wish I could have stayed longer… Charming hotel. Love the history. Staff is extremely nice and welcoming. Enjoyed quietly reading a book by the fire pits. I happened to stay in a room that was above the furnace, I guess? So my “Comfort “ rating would have been higher, but my room was pretty hot - even with the window propped open. Not a huge deal tho. Really loved my first trip to BI and my stay at The National. Will definitely be back. Thanks again to the staff! ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Peter 24 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Historic hotel in great location The National is a great place to stay. Super location, very friendly and helpful staff, and very historic. The historic part is something you should understand before booking -- the hotel dates from the late 1800s, so the rooms are not like a modern hotel -- they are not as big or luxurious. But they are fine, especially because on Block Island you don't want to spend lots of time in your room anyway. The other possible thing to expect is some noise. The windows are not soundproof, and there are gatherings in the evening below the rooms. ##### Peter Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### donna 1 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Bar was well stocked.
