Island House Hotel

I thought our room had a nice view, as it was the lake view king. I loved the location, as it was close enough downtown to see it whenever we wanted but didn’t have to endure the craziness. And the baggage porters taking our things to and from the ferry was a nice bonus. The server at Ice House restaurant was amazing. Wish I had gotten her name because she was superb with our toddlers and her service. The Molton Brown toiletries were a nice surprise. We went for July 4th and could see fireworks from both ends of the island from our room.

The staff was fine but it felt like we were bothering them when we needed something. The room floor was kind of gross, our toddlers were covered in black filth on their clothes from crawling on the floors. (However the bed and furniture seemed clean. The bathroom was also clean.) The WiFi was awful. There was no convenient way to get our stroller up from the ground level to the lobby level. People would leave their empty beverage containers in random common areas and hours later they were still there. (During the day, not overnight.)

Location was excellent

Room was oddly shaped no closet

Very small bathroom.

Food was fabulous
