What guests think

At Champlin's Marina & Resort, guests praise the scenic harbor setting, friendly staff, and a wide range of family-friendly amenities like the pool, bikes, kayaks, and a complimentary shuttle, though some mention noise, damp rooms, and mixed dining quality.

Recently remodeled rooms and views of Great Salt Pond stand out for many. On-site bars, a cafe, and a marina vibe add convenience and fun, but several reviews cite overpriced stays, inconsistent housekeeping, and occasional maintenance or safety issues. Expect a lively, family-oriented resort experience with plenty to do and a quieter location away from town.

All of the amenities were great ! Loved the oool and the kayaks! The staff was very friendly , especially a housekeeping man in the pool area ! We could have used another chair in the room and better lighting. It was a bit noisy from the upstairs guests … All in all we were pleasantly surprised and will definitely stay again!

Spent a cold early season night at Champlin's. Everything you need is on the property, but you'll want to head into town or rent bikes to explore the island. Bike and scooter rental is available on site and there is a convenient shuttle between town that runs every 30 minutes. Would definitely stay there again.

We had such an amazing trip here! Our friends docked their boat at the marina, and we got a room for the weekend. We all have kids, so it was super convenient to have the pool, small beach area, breakfast, coffee, food, drinks, playground all in one area. Love the renovations !

Wow we come to Block every year and have never stayed here before. I read some of the reviews and was a little nervous. I’m so glad I chose to make my own opinion and boy do I have one. We got there early and were planning on leaving our things. Our room was ready and we were so excited. Our room was above the pool nice king bed. Decorated very nice with a nautical theme and everything looked new. Great bathroom and great tv. We didn’t even know about the shuttle until we got to the resort. Everyone was so friendly. Loved the pool and bar and the mudslides. The bar at the end of the marina was so fun. For dinner we took the path to the blue Oar. In the morning we paddle boarded. Everything and everyone was so nice. We can’t wait to come back next year.

The property is overpriced. We had a very simple room that looked like a motel room, not a resort one. Receptionist said the hotel was overbooked, there was no room for us and we were asked to wait. After 30 minutes wait we were giving a room and told that we got upgrade, which was not true. The room looked exactly like in the picture and we didn’t get a better view for the example. So I don’t think we got any upgrade. We specifically asked for housekeeping service during our stay, but nobody came to change towels or move trash. I was unlucky to experience rudeness of a waiter in the hotel restaurant. The guy was definitely tired in the evening and had an outburst for no reason. Water in the swimming pool was muddy even in the morning. All these things all together composed an unpleasant experience.

Good things: Staff is great. Raphael on transportation was so helpful. Like that "Ivy" texted me throughout stay. Perfect property. Immaculate. Negative things: Pool was over run with 8 boys playing football in pool. Rough housing. I git hit 2x a little girl around 3 y.o. was hit once. Next time football hit me, I threw it out of pool. I was trying to relax..Also pool loungers were all taken so had to put my belongings in pile on ground to use pool. Towels were hit or miss. Room towels were only 2 large towels to room so if you showered after pool, you had a wet towel for evening shower.

Overall the property is nice but for what they charge, there are many things lacking. Pros Beautiful views Fun vibe A few decent options for food/drinks Access to pool, paddle boards, kayaks and bikes Convenient shuttle to town/ferry Friendly staff Cons Room was damp. Even with a dehumidifer running, bedding and towels felt damp the whole time (3 nights) we were there. Thin walls/very little sound proofing - we could hear noise from every room around us (walking, water running, talking etc.) We had a issue with ants in our room and it took several hours and multiple trips to the front desk to get someone to come to the room to address it. Room had a refrigerator but no microwave, or coffee machine.

We had a wonderful time on Block Island. The hotel was very nice. My only complaint was our room. The room smelled very musty which made our clothing and the bedding damp. We didn't complain to switch rooms as we were only there for one night. In hind-sight we should have because the bed and pillows were very damp to sleep on. Would definitely come back to this hotel, just a different room. I love the location and car service at Champlins.

Dangerous hotel. I injured my leg walking of a grassy field next to my room. They left underground pipe that is 8in wide and a foot deep without a cover. The staff didn't even apologize. They told us that they don't recommend guests to walk on a field close to the boundary of the property. "Close to the boundary?"- that is the where the hotel is. "Don't recommend?"- they never told us that. There are many people walking on grassy fields, especially since all rooms are pet friendly and people walk their dogs. When we told them they need to close the hole the staff knew where they were. We didn't need to show them. It turns there was another one. They resolve it by putting a cone next to it. We later saw missing bridge slats where one can also easily hurt themselves. Avoid the hotel. Don't be fooled by a newly renovated room. They were pressure-washing trash bins and storing construction materials and booze right in front of our hotel rooms.

The Staff was exceptional!! Loreen, Swan, Patty, Luke, and Elba friendly accommodated our many requests for special drinks, dessert, dinner, and even instructions and scoring on Corn Hole!. If it hadn't been as windy, we would have really enjoyed taking out the Kayaks! So much to do and enjoy! The remodeled rooms were bright and clean. The king size bed was particularly comfortable! The setting was absolutely beautiful and nicely tucked away from downtown ferry area. Though one could walk to town or take the shuttle bus. Already looking forward to returning!

The staff were all friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and neat. The free shuttle to Old Harbor was a real plus! The hotel should have a coffee pot in the room or at least in the lobby, and also offer a continental breakfast. It was inconvenient to go to the cafe on property and pay for grab and go options. The restaurant on property had little options, no dinner rolls or bread available with dinners, and no dessert menu. It was in an inconvenient location and hard to find where to enter the restaurant. Also, it was inconvenient to have to make reservations when you’re a guest at their hotel.

I definitely would steer clear in busier mos if lots of children everywhere isn’t your thing bc it is very family friendly (but we visited early June before school is out.) they have a little playground, an ice cream shop, games etc. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

This is a great property! Updated, yet true to Block Island heritage. I hesitate to call them staff, because the people who work here feel more like friends. They embody the term hospitality! Take an early morning yoga class or enjoy an A other waterfront activity with Jen, or enjoy a Champlin’s Mudslide at the other Jen’s bar on the docks until 1am. Don’t forget to see Swan in the cafe for coffee or to hear about her service in the US Military and her plans for the future! I am so happy I decided to spend my 50th birthday at Champlin’s! I will be back!!!
