Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The rooms were clean and modern. The pillows were comfortable, and the shower was nice. Our room did not have an iron or a coffee maker. Front desk did not explain the amenities such as snacks or coffee when we checked in. They seemed very poorly staffed. Even when we asked for a clothes iron, it was never brought up. Private beach access was advertised, but they did not have an on-site private beach. The extent of scenery was the lake across the street. Our room looked out into the parking lot. The closest public beach was an 8-minute drive away. That would have been okay if we weren't expecting an on-site beach, as advertised. Also, the hotel restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, which was not what we expected.

The hotel was modern and clean. Nice view of the lake from property. The pool and fire pits were cool. Disappointed the hotel restaurant/bar and outside bar were closed both days we were there without any notification prior to booking a non refundable trip.

Excellent!! The only place to stay in Marblehead

Location was great for a walk to the lighthouse. Restaurant on site is top tier. Host was friendly and even installed a new tv in the room when ours stopped working! Thank you !! Very clean and Safe. Lots of little touches that show this is a 10/10 property.

The bed wasn’t comfortable. It was too low & had no box springs, only a mattress on a frame. Our mattress seemed worn. Everything else at this hotel was excellent.

Great Location and Modern Vibe

Great location right on the lake; cool decor with a modern vibe; nice restaurant, patio, and pool. Check-in wasn't smooth, view from our first floor room was terrible, and bathroom was tiny...but I would still go again! It's one minute from the Marblehead Lighthouse and just 5 minutes from the ferry to Kelleys Island. Ask for a room on the second or third floor if you'd like to be able to look out of your window and not see a car just a few feet away.

We stayed here 3 nights.This place did not have a very clean room. The bathroom sink had a leak. The beds were horrible, cheap mattresses, like a futon. The POOL, where my kids wanted to swim, was disgustingly dirty, so cloudy it was like mucky pond water. One front desk worker was kind and helpful. The other with dark hair was a rude snob and unprofessional. They were so CHEAP they had gross toilet paper snd gave you NO EXTRA. I literally saw multiple guests having to go get extra toilet paper. Then, they were OUT of clean towels when I went to get more. This place looks better in pictures. Not impressive.
