Was excited to go to Put In Bay, but when reservations made, not told 1 day would be charged. Although it states on Islander Inn website, doesn't say on SOOH or OSMA site. Was specific when made reseravtion that was making reservation on behalf of third party and different card would be used at check in and was not told... more

When other people ask me about my trip, I respond, I was Alice in Wonderland. From the moment, we got on the Miller Ferry in Port Clinton, to Dan the Man's taxi van, to the Islander Inn, to the clubs, to hearing Mustang Sally Band, all I say is perfect! The people, especially the young students the Islander employs are... more

paid 300$ a night to stay in a room that as mentioned before me was less than clean, staff at hotel itself are rude as they can get (no really i hope they don't try any harder to be discourteous, i have never seen resort staff so absolutely unprofessional.)and when several of my group asked the front desk clerk "why... more

If you're looking for somewhere to have the BEST TIME, I would stay at The Islander Inn. Everything fun happens at The Islander! They have two Swimup Bars, "The Dizzy Lizard" & "Splash". Both have awesome free entertainment. For land lovers that like to stay dry, I would suggest "Flaming Skull". It's a life size pirate ship bar that sits... more

I have previously stayed at the Commodore (old & new buildings) as well as the PIB Resort & Conference Center. This is the best so far. It is a little pricey compared to some of the other hotels but considering this is a vacation spot that is very seasonal & they have to make all their money in 6 months,... more

We stayed here in August for a girls only weekend. We arrived to the hotel at 1:45pm on a Friday afternoon. We were told we could not check in any earlier than 3pm, no exceptions. They do have a very unsecure room off the lobby to put your luggage, so we took the risk and left our stuff there and... more

The Grand Islander is NOT grand by any stretch. We paid an enormous daily rate for a rat hole. There was broken furniture, curtains half hung on the rods, poor room lighting, and absolutely rags for what was intended to be bath towels. When pulling the sheet back to retire, we found a bug between the sheets that my husband... more

I've been going to PIB for over 15 years. We go several times every year and I've stayed at most all of the properties on the island. The Islander is my favorite place to stay when I go with the girls because it has the best pool scene and the rooms are nice too... but we don't go to PIB... more

Loved it!

AHHHH, Grand Islander Hotel - good memories, in the heart of downtown Put-In-Bay w/ the world's largest swim-up bar:)) This was my first time that I stayed in Put-In-Bay downtown, and I must say, it surely did exceed my expectations. There are a lot of things to do during the day, like Crystal Cave, Butterfly House, Winery, Chocolate Museum, Perry's... more

I have heard so many bad things about this hotel that it kind of made scared to go there after I booked it but we went anyway for Christmas in July and guess what? It was fantastic! We have been going to the bay for about 5 years now and this is the first year that we loved our room... more
