We loved the room with three queens and the view was fabulous!! We are definitely re-booking before end of summer. They even accommodated storing our electric bikes!!! So nice staff!
The “only” annoying thing was a loud noise from pool filter nonstop….was hard to tolerate with the beautiful setting 🙁
The hotel is right on the lake with pool and lake views from every room. It’s clean, has friendly staff, & everything you need. Great location. My kids loved it. Will be back!
The resort was easy to find and the employees at the front desk were knowledgeable and informative to what was going on the island (an island race with road closures). The cleanliness of the room was lacking with a wet stain on the bathroom floor and crumbs being left on the bedroom floor as well. The mattress was older having indents left from previous guests.
The upstairs bed pillow had hairs on it and a bottle cap in the sheets. Hottub was just warm and dirty. No jets running little kids in it splashing no policy for that Very hard to reach someone regarding anything. Smelled like puke behind steps and our room key did not work the 2nd day but nobody in office to tell
Basic property in a nice location. This is a two- story motel style lodging. I'm not sure what resort refers to. There is a hot tub and pool that weren't open because it was before season. It has a small deck on the lake across the street. This is an older, dates property that's well maintained with nice grounds. Onsite staff is minimal. You'll have to call an offsite call center for most things. It is the only motel style lodging on the island.
The first room we had booked was not cleaned. They did give us another room. The TV didn’t work, the bathroom door was difficult to close and the seemed like it could have been cleaned better. I expected for 2 nights so much more for $700
We loved our stay. Our hotel room was PERFECT in every way. The water was across the street and we enjoyed sitting in the adirondack chairs watching the waves. I would definitely recommend Kelleys Island Venture Resort to friends and family.
I love everything about this place, the view, accessibility to near by restaurants, rooms were huge, and the most important and awesome thing was the best sunset views I have ever saw is just 30 meters away from my room

Disliked: Amenities
Property showing it's age. Upkeep lacking. Not even basic amenities, no Kleenex, bar soap awful. Decor poor. Have stayed multiple times in the past but would not return. No one available on property at night if there is a problem.
We enjoyed our resort room so much that we booked an extra night‼️Our room was very large and comfortable and our view was perfect. Management was extra nice and accommodating from check in to check out. We look forward to staying here again.
