We came mid week before the busy season so the room prices were probably lower than normal. We got…read morea jacuzzi room and it came with what they said was a queen sized bed but it was more like a full sized bed. The bed was incredibly hard and we had to ask for extra pillows. The jacuzzi in the room was actually very nice and was separate from the bathtub in the bathroom. The jets were a bit loud When we checked in, we were told the Coffee was 24 hours a day but on Friday morning it wasn't and my friend had to wait an hour and a half for hot coffee. They also offer what they call a continental breakfast on weekdays, which was bagels, waffles you pop in the toaster, oranges, yogurt, bags of instant oatmeal and juice. I guess it's better than nothing, but we decided to get breakfast elsewhere. The cost to rent a golf cart was quite expensive (maybe it's that way on the whole island). $79 for a full day and $97 for overnight. If this was the only option I might come here again. Otherwise, nah!!

Listen up, brothas and sistas, cause I'm about to lay the heavy truth on you. I laid down my cold,…read morehard green to get that high-roller prestige expecting a slick in-room jacuzzi where I could catch a private groove. But the damn thing was stone-cold broken! Just a stagnant tub of nothing taking up space. To make it a real horror show, these creepy-crawly bugs be parading around the pad like they own the block. dig it, it was a total drag. Then I cruise on down to breakfast, and they be serving expired yogurt and straight-up moldy, fuzzy oranges. That ain't just bad vibes, that's a biological hit! Serving up that sour funk is downright cold blooded. So I take my beef to the cats working the front desk an I be expecting them to handle bidness. But these jive-turkeys didn't give a solid damn! They just stood there looking spaced out completely unfazed and lacking any kind of soul. They were totally checked out. didn't care one bit about the scam they be running. This whole joint is a low-down, trick-ass operation. Do yourself a solid and keep on stepping past this heavy trip!

My wife and I stayed at the Islander Inn for our anniversary; we had a great time on the island,…read morebut this hotel was lackluster. It was just before "Christmas in July"; we got the room at a discount (likely because they realized how crowded and noisy it would be). Once we got settled into the room before bed, we realized that the sheets were messy (seemed to have fecal matter on them), and when we asked to have them replaced we were told that they were too short-staffed to take care of the problem immediately. Once they arrived, we went through a series of attempts by staff to find the correct size of sheets, after which we were informed that they didn't actually have queen-sized fitted sheets. In order to not sleep directly on the mattress (ick!) I had to rig several regular sheets around the mattress. So, in summery: -Overpriced -Noisy -Dirty pools -Dirty sheets -Understaffed -Under-equipped staff

Warning to anyone with accessibility or handicap needs: Avoid this hotel. We booked a room…read moredetailing my handicap needs, but they made it clear the rooms they had would work as they were the same room minus the handrail in bathroom and they had no accessible rooms available, but that they'd give us the closest room. Upon seeing the hotel and room in person, it was very clear the room would not work. We immediately advised them of this within 5 minutes of check in. They held our $428.61 payment hostage and refused a refund so we could afford to get a more suitable room. The standard room they forced us into was completely unsafe and dirty--the bed was too high, the floors were slippery and the chair was heavily soiled and too low for me to be able to get in and out of it. The staff refused to provide safe alternative seating, offering only an unstable patio chair or metal folding chair. Due to these non-compliant conditions, I suffered a physical fall near the bed and injury, which is now documented by my doctor. To make matters worse, 24 hours after checking out, the hotel maliciously charged my credit card an extra $250 and $200 for fake 'mattress damage'--despite the fact that I used my own personal allergy and mattress protectors throughout the stay. This is a predatory, unsafe establishment that financially penalizes disabled guests who speak up. The ADA/U.S. Dept of Justice, and the Ohio Attorney General have all been formally notified. IF YOU HAVE HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE AT THIS HOTEL, PLEASE FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL AND ADA.GOV. THEY NOW HAVE ACTIVE FILES OPEN AGAINST THE ISLANDER INN FOR THESE EXACT PRACTICES, AND YOUR REVIEWS AND EXPERIENCES WILL HELP HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.

First the positives. Excellent location. Great views of…read moreLake Erie from every room. Convenient parking. Nice (but tiny) shampoo, conditioner and lotion containers in bathroom. Comfortable beds (though high). The two pools and a large spa pool were nice, with many lounge chairs, and extra towels available in the lobby. Now the negatives. - When they say "check-in at 4 pm", they MEAN 4 pm. We arrived at 3:45 and they wouldn't check us in until EXACTLY 4 pm. - Room wasn't perfectly clean - carpet dusty, some dirt around the edges in the bathroom. - We were there three nights. Room was never cleaned nor towels replaced. - Some photos on VRBO showed microwave/small refrigerator and coffee maker. There were none. - No breakfast available. No complimentary coffee. There was a small bar in the lobby with coffee to purchase. - Room air conditioner was noisy. - Automatic night lighting on all room balconies could not be turned off, so we had to have the drapes fully closed to sleep. - Loud music was broadcast all afternoon and evening. We were on second floor and could hear even inside our room. We were told the music was required "for the Tiki Bar". - The room's balcony was screened, but at least twice a day birds got in underneath the balcony side adjoining room walls. After 20 or so minutes the birds got out the same way on their own. - No phone in the room and we had a hard time finding the front desk phone number anyway. Finally just had to go down to the front desk when we needed something.

DO NOT STAY HERE! The pictures are very deceiving. The patio view was completely covered by dirt…read moreand bugs! Between the dirty screen and there being no overhead lighting the room was extremely dark. There were only 2 small desk lamps. The worst part of the stay was there absolutely no hot water! We had two small children and my kids were hysterically crying, unable to warm up after swimming. A nightmare! There's no phone in the room to get ahold of anyone. I called on my cell the following morning and was transferred to a maintenance man. He was maybe the rudest person I've ever dealt with in my entire life. He told me I was lying and refused to give me his name and hung the phone up on me! There are lots of options on the island. Don't let this one be a part of it!

Amazing stay. Clean, safe, chill and great location. From…read morethe beautiful color of the cottages to the birds chirping and flying around everyone and everything was perfect.

This provides quietness at night.

Stopped by here for a fun little pool day. It was packed full of people. I'm not sure when the best…read moretime is to arrive but we got there shortly after noon and it was standing room only. There were no chairs left and barely any room to stand. The DJ was good. There was quite a variety of music. Not really my vibe but everyone seemed to be happy and enjoying a few songs here and there. The drinks were great. The bartender in the pool was great. Very attentive and friendly. Like most popular places the drinks were expensive and the big "O" drink was all ice, but it was nice to carey around. It seemed like there was enough staff to keep up with the demand of the crowd. Security made regular rounds and was very friendly. It was a nice day overall. There was a booty shaking contest, a belly flop contest and a wet t-shirt contest that never actually happened. I'm old but it was fun to spend a day at the pool drinking and cheering on strangers. I do wish there was a better layout on the upper deck. People tend to line up along the side to people watch and it makes it a tight fit when it's time to go get a drink from the bar upstairs. The upper deck didnt have any umbrellas for shade. I understand that most people would go up there and sunbathe but with the amount of people taking up all the space downstairs it would have been a nice break to sit in a shaded area for a moment. Also there was no food and that kind of stinks. I realize it's better to keep drunk people from trashing the place but it would have been nice to be able to order snacks that we could have eaten off to the side. I'm not a hard-core partier but I enjoyed being able to go hang out during the day and have a good time.

First of all, finding the place was a joke and finding parking was even worse. The staff is…read moreclueless when asked anything. I booked an exterior room because I brought my puppy and they gave me an interior but blamed it on Expedia for the room I was assigned. They corrected it and gave me an exterior room that was not very clean. We found trash under the bed. The toilet felt like it would fall through at any moment and water on the floor when we first walked in. The bed is the most uncomfortable bed I have ever attempted to sleep in. We didn't get any sleep due to rude drunk people yelling outside our room and the people above us jumping around from 1:30am to 3am. As well as loud bumping music playing until 3am from another property close by.. If you want a constant party atmosphere, this is 100% your type of place. We will not be back.

Check in was easy, and the girl at the front desk was very friendly. We got there around 1:00, and we were able to get right into our room. The pool was perfect for what we wanted, and we were the only ones out there for the two hours we used it. I liked the location because it was out of the main drag, but with a golf cart easy to access everything we wanted. We all would stay here again. I am surprised by the negative reviews. All of us that stayed here can be pretty critical about food, lodging, etc. We were happy with the Bay Lodging Resort.

We kayak and canoe and love the fact that we can launch from our campsite. The marina is also nice and has docks that can be rented cheaply for paddle craft. This year, we had a beautiful and spacious site right on the river. I literally woke up and could see the river right outside our bedroom window. Wonderful! The staff is friendly and helpful and the campground is quiet, especially during the week. They have WiFi now and this year started an online reservation system, so you can pick your own site. The only drawback is that there's no sewer hookup for overnight campers, but this is made up by the very reasonable rates and the perfect location. If you kayak, you need to try this campground.

The beer was served cold, so no complains about that. The staff was friendly, but unorganized. They have an indoor and outdoor bar, along with a pool and hot tub. The bathrooms are disgusting and all parts of the outdoor bar/patio/deck area are poorly maintained and dirty. The indoor section is better, but not by much.
