Well kept. Two pools a play area for kids and a small beach. Spacious outdoor lawn areas and a great peer and dock to enjoy. Marblehead is close by for shopping or a ferry ride to the islands. Great place for families!

Grounds are great. Rooms are awful.
Grounds are great which is what supports the two stars overall. The rooms in the hotel are dated, extremely musty, and the pillows are super thin and limited. Approached the manager (or owner?), Chris, regarding the musty smell and he was incredibly dismissive and disrespectful. Will not return.

Fairly updated, nice place. Bayside view was main draw for us. Underwhelmed with the breakfast...cereal, fruit, yogurt, coffee, juice, mini rolls/donuts, bread for toast, oatmeal packets. Grounds were nice for kids. Ideal if have a boat/jet ski. "microwave/fridge available upon request" failed to mention $20/night fee. Only public ice machine was down and had to get from front desk that rationed. Only drink machine had to be unplugged to recycle to work, ate money and was out of the first 3 choices. Staff was pleasant and courteous but seemed burdened with management constraints/environment.

Room was clean, view was great. Only thing missing was these rooms do not have a refrigerator. Other than that, it was a great place to stay.

The continental breakfast could have added proteins and more options than just finger pastries and cereal. Also they only had one ice machine in the whole place which didn’t work. The room and staff were nice and would stay agin but would improve the facility more if they have better breakfast choices and more ice machines available.

The web site said they had 3 pools, I counted 2 and a small kiddie pool. The pool close to Lake Erie needed to be cleaned and swept out, also the water was low, it really needed filled up. The hot tub was more of a swimming pool, it was constantly occupied by people who just wanted to use it as a warm pool without the jets on, usually 10 people at a time. So if you wanted to use it, you had to WAIT until the group decided to leave. The room and hallway had a strange smell to it. The tub filled up when you took a shower, so the next person had to wait until the tub emptied. It seemed to me like a retirement home or if you didn’t have children this wasn’t the place for you. The mattress was a little on the springy side, and not firm at all. The pillows were like pan cakes, could have used more than 2. All in all if you didn’t have a boat or were not related to anyone else staying there, I would NOT recommend this place for a weekend getaway. No restaurant on the grounds either. Only one place to eat near by. Much needed attention needs to be done to this place.

Would never stay there again.
It was a very old had low ceilings. The rooms make you feel confined. Will never stay there again.
