No place to take my dog to bathroom. No vending machines. No staff at front desk, had to call and wait for someone. Jackie, who did come was friendly. Wasn’t told they had breakfast in the morning, check out time, pool and hot tub hours. Not really walking distance from Main Street, they did have golf cart rentals on site. Rooms were clean

Employees very nice, pool area was very clean, if you can’t do stairs make sure you ask for 1st floor Ths was totally my fault and for it being Labor Day Weekend they where very nice being able to change my room.
We had Jackie signing us in and she is very good and what she does. One thing I didn’t care for was the music playing by the pool, it was pretty raunchy rap.

Group of 4 stayed the weekend before Labor Day. We got there early and our room was ready so we checked in. It was $10 a night per vehicle for parking. Upon arrival to our room, the bathroom smelled like an ash tray which we reported

The location was nice. The light was broken and I had to remove bulb to turn off and the shower head mad a loud noise and the toilet never stopped running.

Met, and made friends on island staying at other resorts, and ours was definitely the best choice for us! The staff is so friendly and accomodating. The other guests staying we encountered were welcoming & great fun as well. LOVED the indoor outdoor pool! Only one on the island!! My favorite part, and what makes this the best choice, ithe resort is tucked in a quiet little nook, a few blocks from town, and around the bend from the Put In Bay Winery. So you can have some time after a fun night of partying to relax and unwind, before heading out again. Best of both worlds! Already looking forward to next year! No other place I want to stay!

We booked this property because we were told they were a "sister" property to the Resort and Convention Hotel and that we could transfer over if a room opened (our friends were at the Resort). A room opened and the manager refused to let us. The property is really run down, no elevator, no amenities. Should be $150/nite max, we paid $350/nite. Staff was excellent-- Dawn especially. Room was clean. A/C barely sufficient. Beds were terrible. Bathroom tiny and run down. Plenty of hot water. Quiet for a crazy town. 5 minute walk to downtown.

Had a wonderful stay. It was nice and quiet if your looking for a place to unwind after leaving the busy downtown area. We really enjoyed the amenities such as the swimming pool,jacuzzi and poolside bar. Great experience overall. Would definitely come back again!

It was an ok stay. The toilet had not been cleaned and the towel rack broke. No breakfast just coffee.

I was very pleased with the friendly and helpful staff. The location was a bit further from the downtown area than expected. Great pool area. Very limited breakfast choices.

Will never stay here again! Failed to tell us the new golf cart parking rules so got a $35 parking ticket. Night clerk banged on our door threatening to call thepolice if we didnt let him in. He accused us of having stolen i-pods in our room. Which we didnt have. I would not open the door I told him I didnt have the ipods. He left to call police. I called the police muself because i didnt trust the guy banging on my door. It was a nightmare being accused of a false accusation.

Rooms are clean and bed was very comfortable. The staff was very friendly ! The pool chairs at the pool need replaced . Many were broken . The outdoor pool area could use some sprucing up.

Service was just bad

This hotel has a great location and a nice pool. But it needs major updates in the rooms. Beds were very uncomfortable in the 3 queen rooms. Carpet stained from years of use. Bathrooms were small and outdated. Also pool lounge chairs were so worn and broken. People working were very polite and helpful. Monday and Tuesday pool bar is closed. Very limited continental breakfast on weekdays. No coffee maker in room. From my understanding some rooms are getting updated during winter but my room was not one of them. You can rent a golf cart from the hotel which was convenient.

Our tv had no signal the whole time we were there, we ran out of toilet paper after one night, the beds were beyond uncomfortable. It wouldn’t have been too bad if it was a way lower price

Room was clean. We had our pups with us so it was nice to have them with us. Staff was friendly.

It is very expensive and is a bare bones hotel, but there is a pool and pool bar. It’s really close to downtown Put in Bay, so once you are parked, you don’t need to move your car.

Upon arriving at the room I noticed the bedspread was stained so I got a replacement and that was also stained. The spreads should be thrown in the garbage.The room was damp so the sheets felt damp. There was no luggage rack so we had to put our luggage on the floor. The pool was extremely small and was cloudy and dirty Scheduled to stay two nights but left after one because we didn’t want to stay any longer. Expedia listed the hotel as Good but should have been rated as Fair.Will not trust Expedia reviews in the future.

Loved it!! Very friendly, Colin was a fabulous bartender and the area was nice - the big plus was the OSU decor!

The staff of the property was arrogant and was not helpful, website also shares incorrect details. I encountered the staff who was doing double shift/duty. On this property she was pumped/worked up and on other property she was nice, I don't know why. It mentions that this property offers breakfast but there was nothing good in terms of breakfast.
3.0
The location to the city center was good. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was very small and way overpriced priced for what you get. You pay for the room and you have to pay to park your car in their own lot.

A great place to stay. The front desk staff were awesome. Great location.

We enjoyed out stay a lot. It was a last minute trip and staff was very accommodating and kind.The room was very clean and sufficient for our needs.One thing we were perplexed about is that hotels.com gave us a price quote but then the resort tacked on another $18 and could not give sufficient explanation as to why
2.0
First, the property is listed as “Lakefront”, This property is NOWHERE near the lake. The property states breakfast as an amenity. We were there for 3 days and there was NEVER food. There was two coffee pots, and a juice machine (orange and apple) On day one there was a tea bag but no water. The hotel has no lights in the parking lot and it is pitch black. There is no staff in the hotel after 10pm and the bathroom was so bad, we showered at the bathroom house located in Put-In-Bay.

We picked this place because they advertised an indoor pool which was VERY important to our grandkids. When we arrived we were told this pool was closed because it was off season since it was connected to the outdoor pool. We assumed an indoor pool was all season. The breakfast was subpar. The staff were friendly.
