"Excellent"

8.0

The hotel was very nice a bit out of date and a little expensive, but it was on an island, the staff was great and let my family who was camping use the pool. Since it was the only choice on Kelly’s Island I would stay agian.

"Don’t do it"

4.0

For what we paid what a disappointment. Pool and hot tub closed by the health department. Pool loungers worn out. A little money needs to be invested in this place. No one came to clean our room and stock fresh supplies. Unfriendly staff . We won’t be back.

"Gone downhill"

4.0

Location is always great.

This place needs a lot of work. We had been coming here for years and a new owner took over a few years back. The owner increase the rates so high that it was nearly as if it cost the same as going to Europe. We finally could go this year at a semi-affordable price and were disgusted by the facilities. The pool was falling apart and dirty, the hallways were covered in bird poop, the front desk staff had to clear our drains like they were maintenance staff and the rooms had not had a single update. The worst was the landscaping. Ut used to be beautiful and it was nowhere near what it should even be at baseline. This place used to be a gem and now it’s a gross run down hotel. It needs addressed and hopefully more people speak up. The new owner obviously doesn’t realize what he has done to this place as locals depend on its occupancy and it has rooms available all the time - that was never the case back in the day.

"The pool was shut down by the Health Department weeks before my booking."

5.0

The room was very nice and clean. Parking and location were excellent.

The staff was friendly, but not helpful, especially with regard to the pool. First, at check-in I learned that I had paid way above market for the room. Second, when we arrived, there was a big red sign at the front desk that the pool was closed down by the Erie County Health Department. We did see the pool and it had lots of algae - even some blue-green algae (dangerous!), that must have accumulated over many weeks. The ONLY reason we rented there was because of the pool.

"Needs work, staffing and updates"

4.0

This place was such a disappointment. We have stayed here for years, but first time since new ownership. The pool is DISGUSTING, and has not been cleaned or updated for years. They are insanely understaffed. The girl at the front desk also cleans the rooms, is maintenance and groundskeeper. The landscaping is atrocious, and this is so sad as it used to be gorgeous. The price of this room is double what is used to be a few years back, which I thought meant some great updates and service. It was really sad as this was a complete gem back in the day. Please do something to make property what is used to be and give it the updates is desperately needs. This place and the staff here need support.
