The hotel was modern and clean. Nice view of the lake from property. The pool and fire pits were cool. Disappointed the hotel restaurant/bar and outside bar were closed both days we were there without any notification prior to booking a non refundable trip.

Excellent!! The only place to stay in Marblehead

Location was great for a walk to the lighthouse. Restaurant on site is top tier. Host was friendly and even installed a new tv in the room when ours stopped working! Thank you !! Very clean and Safe. Lots of little touches that show this is a 10/10 property.

The bed wasn’t comfortable. It was too low & had no box springs, only a mattress on a frame. Our mattress seemed worn. Everything else at this hotel was excellent.

Great Location and Modern Vibe

Great location right on the lake; cool decor with a modern vibe; nice restaurant, patio, and pool. Check-in wasn't smooth, view from our first floor room was terrible, and bathroom was tiny...but I would still go again! It's one minute from the Marblehead Lighthouse and just 5 minutes from the ferry to Kelleys Island. Ask for a room on the second or third floor if you'd like to be able to look out of your window and not see a car just a few feet away.

We stayed here 3 nights.This place did not have a very clean room. The bathroom sink had a leak. The beds were horrible, cheap mattresses, like a futon. The POOL, where my kids wanted to swim, was disgustingly dirty, so cloudy it was like mucky pond water. One front desk worker was kind and helpful. The other with dark hair was a rude snob and unprofessional. They were so CHEAP they had gross toilet paper snd gave you NO EXTRA. I literally saw multiple guests having to go get extra toilet paper. Then, they were OUT of clean towels when I went to get more. This place looks better in pictures. Not impressive.

Everyone was very friendly. It is a very nice hotel. It has been redone and we had stayed at the lighthouse several times and it had got really bad. It is so nice that someone took the time at a beautiful location to make it a pleasant place to stay. For us the bed comfort although the mattress is great it is very low to the floor and would like a foundation under the mattress. As far as food options it would have been nice if we had been told or if it was on their website that you need to make reservations to eat. I know you are under a learning curve just opening this year and we need to offer more items on the menu. Like some baked potatoes or mashed potatoes some sort of pasta everyone doesn't like seafood. What we had was very good, except the chips not crazy about those. Other than that we had a very good time. Oh and we took a walk and found the courtyard and seen all the things that was available of which no one mentioned or where to get the equipment to play ping pong, or pickleball or whatever else is available and don't know where to get the code to get in the door. So we just sat and watched around one of the fire pits. They are very nice and it won't be great as it gets closer to fall.
