Ashley House

Right in the middle of everything clean, quiet and safe.

Would have greatly appreciated closer parking

Loved the location, close to shops and ferries.

Rita and her staff Were always :-) the property was gorgeous

Located above a bakery with excellent coffee & breakfast items.  Key pick up is located a quarter mile away.

Despite it’s location in a busy part of town, the room was quiet and very comfortable. The room was clean, with all of the creature comforts, and air conditioned! Staff were courteous and accommodating.

Beautiful island to relax, walk, hike, bike and eat. Ashley House, a part of 1616 Inn properties had very Friendly and very clean and great spot in center of little town so walking to restaurants, shops were easy.

We had such a great stay. Nothing bad about it.

We stayed in the christina room. Sizable room and bathroom, very clean, didnt hear a peep from the restaurant/bakery downstairs or anything from the street. Comfortable bed.  Hotel is located right in the middle of everything. Walk to the beach, harbor, restaurants. perfect spot.

Clean room, spacious, bed was very comfortable. Central location near everything. Will definitely stay again.

We have been to Block Island many times by sailboat, private plane and ferry in the past but not for the past 17 years. It is a great place to visit and the Ashley House is on an excellent location for access to the ferry, town, restaurants, beach, etc. The rooms were big and nice. The cost was high but competitive with other properties for our dates. There is a door on each end of the building to get up to the rooms. One end has a combination lock and the door other end has no lock. The stairways up to the rooms are dark at night (I brought my flashlight with me when we went out).These two items need to be addressed.There is an Ice bucket in the room but no machine. Wandered around outside under the second level rooms and determined one establishment had the ice. A little info on the tv remote would also have been nice. Two instead of one chair in the room would have been good.  No internet access so you have to go to the affiliated hotel (1661 Inn) or the library was suggested. In this day and age internet access should be available even if for a fee.I have traveled over 2 million air miles and obviously stayed in many hotels so I have some comparisons and I think a few small changes would make this place a 5 star experience.

My husband and I, and two other couples, just spent the past two nights at The Ashley.  Rooms and bathrooms were lovely.  We stayed in the Alicia room.  Very pretty.  I had read that there were noise issues with the bakery below, but we did not hear any noise whatsoever.  Upon checkin, we were given four coupons (1 for each night for each of us) to receive a complimentary coffee/juice and pastry, or receive $3.00 off breakfast.  

One complaint........we had seen workers in the hallway and had given one of them some money and asked if he would bring us some ice. He said he would.   Never saw him again and did not receive the ice.  :(  Not a big deal, but if he did  not want to get it, he should not have taken the money.

I have also read that the beds were uncomfortable.  I have a rod in my back and had no issues WHATSOEVER.  My husband, on the other hand, could sleep on a rock if he had to.  Bed was very comfortable.

We both agreed when we decide to stay again on the island, we will definitely stay here.  Thank you for the lovely accommodations!!!

Lovely place to stay!

We stayed in the Christina Room and it was perfect for us.  The room was so pretty, victorian like.  The bed was very comfortable and the A/C cranked!!  It was extremely  humid the weekend we were there so having A/C was a must.  The Ashley House is centrally located to all and the bakery downstairs was great for breakfast (they gave us discount coupons upon check-in).  I didn't hear any noise from the bakery in the morning, but maybe it was because our room was located in the middle of the hotel.  I highly recommend the Christina Room if you plan on booking the Ashley House.  It felt like home away from home!

Comfy Cozy

This was our third time staying in the Ashley House.  It is so convenient to the ferry and all that Water Street has to offer.  We stayed in the Alicia room this time, and it was my favorite room yet.  The neighbors played loud music for bit, but by 9:30 it was off.  The bakery downstairs is awesome, with a vast variety of pastry and coffee in the mornings, and ice cream available at night.  The restaurant attached to the bakery has great food as well.  We usually go and spend a couple of nights on BI every summer, and this is the only place that I look at to stay.

Haven't been disappointed yet

This is one of many times I've stayed at the Ashley House.  I've been a Block Island tourist since the early 1970's ( I was a kid then on the family boat).   Once I started to stay at Block as an adult and later with my wife in one of the B&B's or old time hotels, cleanliness, up to date accommodations, roomy rooms (some were stupidly small), AC, TV, were not always available and it can still be that way there.  

The Ashley House, each time I've stayed there, is uniquely clean, private, up to date shower, double sinks, roominess, tv, ac, and even a refrigerator were all present.
Aldo's Bakery is right below and you can breakfast in the morning as you step out.
I know the Block well.  I know its overpriced, especially the food but the island is as beautiful as there is on the entire east coast, period.  The staff at the Ashley is the best.
Our room was always properly cleansed and best of all is the $100 bill left on my ready made bed pillow that the maid found in our room and returned it!  That's class....
If you want to stay out of the Island proper (which is beautiful) then maybe the Ashley is not for you since its right in the center of town.  But we never had a problem with noisy neighbors and the restaurant closes around ten pm, Bakery at 11pm and at that time the island almost completely closes for there night.  

Many hotels at the Block can be "musky" as my wife often says, the Ashley inside is clean with up to date rooms which is a must when staying on Block Island.  Last August we were there for ten days.

Great Location and Clean

All was great except broken blinds with no curtains. Definitely need black out curtains. Doorknob was fidgety so key had to be manipulated to open. Also our second key didn’t even belong to that room. Overall we enjoyed the comfort and convenience of the locale of the hotel.

Will stay here again

television was poorhad issue with key was handled adequatelyshower doors were confusing and annoying

Wasn’t happy that there was no WiFi available in the room. Also, to walk to another hotel got our keys wasn’t appealing either. The room itself is lovely and conveniently located.
