We found this hotel via Tripadvisor. Very happy to report this is a great hotel. We were very happy with this pleasant surprise. As some of the other comments have noted it can be a bit $$, but we paid $170/night which, in June the summer season, isn't really too crazy. It's right on the Lake Erie, all rooms have... More

The rooms are expansive & I appreciated the little screened in balcony, one heated pool, and especially, the location. Walkable to town, bars, shops, & restaurants. Away from what I would call the "spring break" type hotels -- younger crowd, noisy. No notable amenities.

Called and they had a cancellation. Almost $ 300.00 a nite. Clean room. Close to the jet docks. Orher than the price is no complaints. Really a pretty good resort. Pack alcohol in your suitcase as all other bags and coolers will be searched. Restaurant is good with fair prices. I would stay again no problem.

Have stayed at 3 different hotels on the island and this place is by far the best one to stay at if you are traveling with family or not interested in rowdy shenanigans. Yes, they will search your cooler, they clearly state no alcohol to be brought in...they have a really cool tiki bar and I think that the no... More

Don't usually write review, but felt I should because we were almost detered from this hotel by the negative reviews. Service was great from the time we walked in. The room was comfy and the view was great. Paid $129 a night which is the average for lesser quality in the bay. Overall a great stay and we will be... More

While this hotel was in a fairly good location it was very overpriced for the quality of the rooms. The staff was not oriented towards customer satisfaction at all. They were extremely strict on their policies and very unwilling to accommodate the changing plans of our group. It seemed as though the employees were out to make our trip unenjoyable... More

On Sunday May 26th we decided to take a Day trip to put in bay. We didn't plan on staying in a hotel because we figured it would be a little more expensive and that we would have a hard time finding one. As we passed this hotel they had a flashing sign that said rooms available. We stopped in... More

To start they searched our cooler at arrival. The room is ok with all low end furnishings. The TV is a 21 inch Sharp with what seemed like 6 stations, at least they didn't give us a black and white. Then they searched me again with a small cooler over my shoulder with crackers in it. the Gestapo guarding the... More

Hotel was nice and the pools looked wonderful (too cold this time of year to swim, but they had the lights on in the pools in the evening). The hotel bar was a very nice place to hang out. Beautiful view of the lake from our balcony room. Hotel rooms were your average hotel room, but clean, and bathroom was... More

Hands down, this is the best hotel on Put-in-Bay! We've been visiting the island for the past 6 years and have stayed at many hotels but we just LOVE this one the best! My girlfriends and I spent the weekend in just a 2 queen room. The room was just above your average hotel room but is more spacious and... More
