Block Island National Wildlife Refuge, Rhode Island hotel rooms at the Independent

"The property was well maintained and attractive, but the entrance to the hotel could have been more evidence. Signage would help. Can't beat the location right across the road from the ocean!"

"Exceptional service from all staff and just an all-around beautiful property with thoughtful special touches like water and chocolates offered in the evening. We have been staying at the sister property for over a decade and decided to try Hotel Maria this year instead. What an exceptional experience and that comes at no surprise. The Bellone family creates a unique stay with their clean rooms, delightful staff, etc. We especially loved the partial ocean view, the Nespresso machine in the room, the Sunset Club rooftop bar and of course the delicious restaurant. The complimentary snack pantry was a fabulous amenity, also. Thank you for a wonderful place to create another special summer family vacation memory! "

"Autumn was amazing at check in. Very willing to help with any request. Gave us a tour of the property. We would definitely come back!! Great location. "

"Quiet & close to everything but away from all the congestion. Pool was refreshing & enjoyed the fireplace."

"It's not fancy, but it has everything we need for a quick beach getaway. I come every year with my daughter. We love the easy access to the beach, the bar right on the beach, and everyone is so friendly. "

"We loved the property so much! It had a beautiful waterfront view and lovely landscaping-made our stay very enjoyable and relaxing. The staff were extremely helpful as well. "
