8/10 Very good

Nice venue for a quick get away from the hustle & bustle of life. Even though almost all rooms were occupied, the inn didn't feel crowded.

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.
Jeanne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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 is our second year in a row staying in room 9. Very spacious and comfortable. A little noisy with some work going on but overall a nice place to stay. The Paynes Killer Donuts are excellent.

Very Pleasant Stay

Inviting place. Room was very clean and nice looking. Service was great and friendly.
Jeremy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

old school charm with few amenities

The hotel staff was excellent and very attentive which added to the charm of this hotel. The breakfast buffet was delicious and the views were wonderful. The downside was they only had a portable A/C which did not cool the room off at all and you couldn't leave it on when using the hair dryer. The beds were also not very comfortable.

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.

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!

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.

I love the quietness of the area and the options for a view of the new harbor and sunset of the inn. Great place to grab breakfast and sit on the porch with coffee in the morning.
