When we first arrived we didn't like the smell of the place, it was funky, I guess that's what happens when the building is by the lake. The beds aren't very good. But there isn't any other hotels close by and we did end up enjoying the stay. ( P.S. Go to the Galley restaurant in town if you want... More

I attempted to make a reservation for my family. When I mentioned I had a service (medical alert) dog, the owner, Joe, refused to confirm my reservation, without documentation that my SD is a service dog. There is no such certification available and not required by the ADA. I told him it was against the law. His reply, "Get a... More

We stayed two days here to explore the peninsula and go to Kelley's Island on our way back home from New York. With a few exceptions there was a genuine lack of common courtesy in the whole town, including this old hotel. The lack of newness and comfort at the hotel could have been balanced by friendly service, but it... More

The place is very nice for the area. It is not a 5 star hotel nor is it a "resort" with all the amenities. It is a very nice place to stay in this area. Most places around here are filthy dumps and this is one of the best places in town to stay. The people are very kind and... More

Wanted to visit Marblehead and take a trip to Kelleys Island with my family this past weekend. I choose this hotel despite negative reviews. It was a mistake! The front desk employees are not very friendly. My husband asked about the Kelleys Island Ferry and the clerk said he didn't know anything and said there was a brochure - really... More

This was the first time staying at the hotel, I found the room and the hotel to be very clean. The Staff was very nice and helpful. I go over to PIB 3-4 times a year, I have now found a hotel I will be staying at each trip!

Special room rates and day after wedding breakfast were arranged with this hotel one year ago. Now 2 weeks before the wedding, we cannot have the breakfast there nor the rooms that have already been booked. Hotel owner says rooms are now booked to a convention. Even room reservations that were given a confirmation number no longer have rooms. One... More

A wonderful view of Lake Erie, can walk across the road to the lake. Rooms a very clean. Nice pool. The bar makes you feel like you are at Cheers, Where everyone knows your name! They have a separate facility where you can have a company meetings, small weddings, or anytime of party.

If your looking for a place to stay in Marblehead, and believe me, there are few choices, The Lighthouse Resort in Marblehead, for us, was the perfect choice. It is situated right on the shore of Lake Erie and is just a short drive from the Millers Ferry to Put-In-Bay and even closer to the Kelly's Island Ferry. We have... More

Very clean, excellent staff. The staff went out of their way to make it a great trip for my wife and I on our anniversary. Very close to Put-in-bay and about 15 minutes from Cedar Point.
