Block Island National Wildlife Refuge Vacations from $154

days b/f our stay, I asked via email to checkin 1/2 hour early and was told this won’t be a problem. When I arrived the man at the desk said to check in early I have to pay 35$. Ive stayed at many hotels and was never charged to check in early.Plus I wasn’t told there was a charge when I requested it via email.But, when the woman arrived at the front desk, she was very kind, and apologetic.We had to really rush to get to our reservation since we weren’t able to check in early. She explained that because it was NYE they didn’t have staff to clean the room, so they have to charge for the accommodation.to make up for this, she allowed us to check out an hour later the next day Which was very helpful.Since hotels make you check in so late nowadays and check out so early. When I was young, you paid for 23 hours at a hotel.Anyway, it was very helpful to be able to stay the extra hour. They really should advertise on their site that they charge $35, even if it’s only certain occasions. I’m just really lucky that our reservation was at 3:30 not 3, otherwise we would’ve missed it (w/ no refund) because we had our dogs and we had to leave them in the hotel room before we left. I also asked if the dog fee could be waived since there’s no breakfast due to renovations and he said they already lowered the price b/c of this, which wasn’t true since I booked the regular price a mo b/f the email was sent that there’d be no breakfast. Pros:only 15$ dog fee,clean,quiet,good location.

Shelly was wonderful. Excellent beds, lovely place. Perfect suite for our New Years’ party. We will be back!

Had trouble maintaining a consistent temperature in the apartment. Had to keep raising the temperature.

Great location. The only negative was a very noisy heating system which at times was overwhelming. Clean and nice view.

Beautiful property and amenities. Beyond courteous staff. Amazing experience!
