Put-in-bay is a nice little getaway

It’s a fun place! Had a DJ most days. Was supposed to have one on Sunday, Aug 31, but he didn’t show up. No microwaves in rooms, no elevators. The bartender, Dylan, at the swim up bar was friendly and fun. If you rent a golf cart from the hotel, it has to be returned by 9pm, so I suggest you rent it from somewhere else(plus it’s cheaper). I had already paid for my stay through a 3rd party app, but when I got to the hotel, they charged me again. I said I wasn’t going to argue and I’ll figure it out later, another clerk decided he wanted to argue with me, I had again stated I wasn’t arguing after traveling 5 hours, because I didn’t want it to ruin my holiday weekend. (again, I wasn’t upset, I said I’d figure it out later) and he stated it was Expedia’s fault, which isn’t even who I booked with? I did get it worked out once I got home. Overall, it was a nice place. Not sure I’d book here again due to the no elevator situation and having to carry all your stuff up stairs. Also, you can’t take your own alcohol to the pool, and of course their drinks are overpriced

Unfortunately it ended up being “Detroit night “ while we were there. Which was ridiculous. Roads were blocked off downtown and stores shut down. Everyone just spend the evening in their rooms. A waste of what could have been a fun evening evening. Thank goodness we didn’t have kids with us. They would have gotten quite an “education “

Our stay was a great one, so close to many restaurants and live entertainment. The pool was nice, had a great time meeting new people. All the staff members were friendly and helpful. I would recommend this place, especially if you like a fun and party atmosphere.

Cleanliness was excellent but only on gate open during the day at the whole facility. We stayed on the 2nd floor and you could hear everything from the 3rd floor that was going on even people just walking down the hall. Also sounded like they were moving furniture so nit alit if sleep and we were there early in the week. Beds were really comfy tho.

It was clean and had a nice location. It was nice that we could also rent a golf cart from the front desk at a lower price than most rental places on the island. I think vending machines on the property would be nice for after hour drinks and snacks.

We had a wonderful experience at the Islander Inn. I was initially uncertain after reading some older reviews, but I’m very glad I paid attention to the more recent ones, which reflect the positive changes under the new ownership. The owners are actively involved onsite, which is evident in the level of care and attention given to the property. The rooms and common areas were exceptionally clean, and the staff—from the front desk to the poolside bartenders—were consistently welcoming, attentive, and professional. The atmosphere throughout the hotel felt inviting and well-maintained. The pool bar was another highlight; the drinks were excellent and generously prepared. Overall, the Islander Inn exceeded our expectations, and it will be our preferred place to stay whenever we visit Put-in-Bay.
