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.

Seemed to be the most popular hotel, rooms were clean but lacking the coffee maker, microwave combo most places have. Coffee can be had in the lobby which can be quite a long walk. Beds comfy, staff very friendly and sweet every time! Our favorite go-to on PutInBay!

Stay was good. The hotel room at which we were placed was a little more noisy than expected but otherwise good. During our visit the pool music beat was noticeable in our room from 10:30 am-9:00 pm
