The staff were unbelievably kind & was quick to offer suggestions regarding food places or where to pick up an item that you may have forgotten. My only recommendation is that they need to boost their WiFi signal. Late at night, when trying to watch a movie on my phone, the signal was BAD. This is my only recommendation. Stay here. You’ll have a great time! Guaranteed!

This was our first time here and first time in the area. Absolutely lovely place! Right on lake Eerie with a small swimming beach access, several pools including a very kid friendly one right outside the door with view of the lake. There is also beautiful little cottages to stay on which we will try next time, but the resort itself was fantastic too. The beds were a little hard, which is just a personal preference and cell phone signal was very spotty. TV was available but very limited amount of channels, if that matters to anyone and lost signal quite a lot. Also, the front desk only has someone there until 7pm. We had a toilet clogged and were unable to get ahold of the after hours staff we were told to call, but ended up fixing it ourselves pretty easily. No fridge in the room, which might also be personal preference but something we are just used to with our stays. The location is stunning, yet only a short drive away from dining options and shopping. We are planning on staying here again for our next trip.

Loves this hotel and its location. Great to be able to get to kelleys island ferry easily. Staff is friendly and rooms are clean. The decor is a little outdated and beds are not very comfortable. But the amenities and cleanliness makes up for it. Love the pool area and cottages to rent

Positive - Very clean facility and rooms were clean. Family Friendly. Negative - Most of the staff was not very friendly, rarely made eye contact. However, they did respond if we had questions. A few were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to converse with the families. Negative - The pillows were all flat, recommend getting better quality. Smoking was allowed in all pool areas.
The pools were very clean with nice chairs and tables with umbrellas.
Having two pools close together for younger kids and older kids is family oriented.

I feel this place is put together very well. The staff were really great. The only thing I would add to this property is to provide a golf cart for guests to use on the property. I have pulmonary fibroids and I use oxygen. I was not able to go to the big pool or the beach

Great hotel on Marblehead

What a cool place to stay for a couple or with a family. The hotel was nice with many activities within the resort. The beds were a little squeaky (could hear ours plus people above us) and could hear kids running in the hallway but didn’t bother us too much. All employees were friendly and accommodating when we asked to stay one more night & not move rooms the day before the 4th of July. I would definitely stay here again.
