The property owner was amazing--texted me places to have dinner, advised me not to worry about a car on the island (very good advice!), and coordinated everything seemlessly for my late check-in. Wonderful support and a calm and beautiful spot. Thank you so much!

Block Island in the Fall is magical and the view from the backyard was magnificent. Check in was very quick and easy. Room was lovely with a comfortable bed and a small balcony. Great location - walking distance to town.

This was my first visit to Block Island and this property was one of the highlights of the trip. It was cute, clean, had gorgeous views and staff was welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised at the morning breakfast and enjoyed it while I took in the view! I enjoy walking so a huge perk for me was the walks I could get in to go shopping and sightseeing. Taxis were quick though if that's not a preference.

Payne hotel

We had a great time at the Panye hotel. Staff is very friendly. Room was very clean. Great location. Centrally located on the island. Everything is within walking distance. But a bike is highly recommend to get to places fast so you can see more of the island. The donuts at breakfast are amazing. Homemade!!!!

This location was ideal half way between our ferry and town. The breakfast was enough to hold us till lunch. The snacks either donuts or cookies left out was a nice treat.

The perfect spot away from town. Quiet with an excellent view. Suite 9 has a huge bed and a private jacuzzi. Cleanliness is off the charts as is the service, really can’t ask for more. Quick walk to Yellow Kittens and Winfield’s but far enough away to avoid the noise. Already reserved for next year… this is the place, look no further. For the car guys - safe parking so you can bring your car without worry.

Magical/CLEAN/DREAM

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect since I had never been to Block Island but my fiancé has and told me just fyi all the inns are just older..etc. Coming into the inn it was so beautifully done, so much character every which way you turned, and the breakfast in the morning was so quaint like something out of a movie. The ROOM was incredible! We got the suite (room 9) the largest room they had and let me tell you it was LARGE! The room was so clean and the whole place smelled so clean (I am very OCD so I notice those things) but even my fiancé mentioned how clean it smelled there! The bed was insanely comfortable I can’t even begin to tell you. We have stayed a lot of places and this bed by far took the cake! I’ve never slept better! Whole place was magical and I would 100% return and stay at Payne’s again! **pics are blurry bc all I got was a video so I screenshot what I could.

Charming place in New Harbor

We enjoyed our visit to this clean, solid, accommodating inn. Lovely hosts run a charming place with a laid back vibe for a welcoming stay. Great spot with water views but it’s a mile walk or cab ride from Old Harbor ferry. (No Uber) Decent breakfast.
