Great place, very clean and close to the main street

Reviewed By Rhonda S

We stayed here for three nights in July 2021 with two other couples. This place was very clean and quiet. It is close to the main street in town and walkable to most everything. The owner was very friendly and accommodating to any request that we had. They also have golf carts that you can rent. Will definitely make this our go-to place when in Put in Bay!

Customers have been returning year after year with the Barlows being the only group that has never missed a summer with us in 13 years. Although the ladies from Michigan and Ohio are a close second, you know who you are! Due to continual expansion, we have become know as the "Village Within The Village". Our facilities can accommodate two guests in the lodge rooms or bungalows, six visitors in the island suites and up to ten vacationers in our town houses or original house.

This is the most charming room! The bed is super comfy. The room is quiet and SO clean. The kitchenette is very handy. When you are in the room, you feel like you are in the secluded bedroom of a big ol' family house! The hosts are cordial and prompt to respond to inquiries.

CREDIT CARD HACKED TWICE and BE AWARE …..NO REFUNDS!! Past reviews are accurate.

Reviewed By BertbonAls

The credit card that was used to book the reservation got hacked, and after getting a new credit card, the new card was also hacked after making the final payment at hotel. We were suppose to stay at the resort Friday & Saturday, but due to bad weather we found out at 8:00am Friday morning that the only boat going to the island was the Miller Ferry which also cancelled trips to PIB after 11:30am. That left us with no options to take a boat in the afternoon for our 4:00 check-in time. Called resort for a refund, we were told no refund because a boat made trips to the island. We talked to others that had reservations at other hotels on the island and they were able to get refunds. We did make it to the resort on Saturday, the resort advertised it was Spring Fling week and they would be serving dinner and drinks on Friday and Saturday and send-off breakfast on Sunday. Dinner was cold, buns were hard, drinks were limited to the number of tickets we were given at check-in and there was NO breakfast on Sunday.

Pool was not open as stated over the phone prior to my reservation. When approaching the front desk to inquire about a discount on an extra day when the pool would be open they threw me out. I slept on the ground in the cold. It was my birthday. Scuzzy staff. Horrible pillows. Pizza not good.

The Anchor Inn Boutique Hotel

The Anchor Inn Boutique Hotel is a quirky, one-of-a-kind hotel, with light-hearted, mildly rebellious room details and a designer décor. With only 9 guest rooms and a 2-bedroom cottage, we are small and intimate in size. A luxury hotel, we are intentionally not “stuffy”. We stand out from the crowd because we challenge the common 'party island' beliefs. Our guests enjoy a quiet and classy place to stay that's close to everything. You won't find a “party hotel” here. We pride ourselves on providing a quiet, secure, residential location without the party - the kind of place where you go to enjoy a nap, a good book, the company of friends, drinks on the patio and the beauty of an island sunset. Our casually elegant rooms are the sweet spot of the hotel. Each guest room or suite has been thoughtfully designed with handpicked elements and furnishings, a touch of whimsy and all the comforts of home. Our rooms are appointed with the finest bed linens on a super plush but firm king bed, and four pillows of your choice (feather, soft, firm, or foam.) Your room is complete with French doors leading to your own private balcony. The en-suite bathrooms feature an oversized rain-head shower, plush towels, towel warmers and a full line of luxury amenities and toiletries. Robes and slippers are provided to help make your stay more comfortable. Our signature brunch is served buffet style every morning from 8:30-10:30. Brunch is filled with options. We always serve an egg dish and breakfast meats, including a non-pork option. To add to our usual breakfast items, you might find some sweet items, like stuffed French toast or bread pudding. Along with meat and cheese trays, and assorted salads there is a yogurt and cereal station. Top your brunch off with fruit, juices and freshly ground coffee. Be sure to let us know if you have any special food needs and we’ll do our best to accommodate them. Our staff is friendly, fun and always professional. We say hello, pay attention to the details, and will resolve any guest issues with prompt attention. We will go out of our way to help you enjoy your stay. Let us give you a warm WELCOME to Put-in-Bay's only boutique hotel!

Islander Inn

The Islander Inn is Put-in-Bay's first and largest Caribbean style resort. We have 115 rooms surrounding 4 swimming pools including a large heated pool, conversation pool with a waterfall, 30 person jacuzzi as well as our swim-up-bar pool. The Islander Inn also features the island's original swim-up bar, The Dizzy Lizard. The Dizzy has 9 seats in the water and and seats on land. This is the bar that changed how afternoons were spent on Put in Bay. At the back of our courtyard sits Crash Landings, a bar with an airplane crashed into the top of it. Both of these are open from mid May through mid September, weather permitting. Located between the Islander Inn and our sister hotel, the Grand Islander, sits Put-in-Bay's #1 afternoon hotspot Splash! Splash is the World's Largest Swim-up Bar. We have 97 bar seats in the water and 120 chaise lounge chairs outside of the pool for sunbathing. With live entertainment on the weekends and plenty of other fun during the week, Splash is definitely the place to cool off and have a cold drink with your best friends. Overlooking Splash is The Flaming Skull. The Skull is a full scale pirate ship that sits next to Splash. Guests can walk up on the deck and watch out over the pool while having a drink at the 80 seat bar. Get your picture taken with the captain so your friends will believe you when you say you were on a pirate ship on Put-in-Bay. We are located right in the heart of downtown Put-in-Bay and are within walking distance to most of the major attractions. Should you want to explore the island a little more, we do have golf carts available for rent at our Front Desk with some of the lowest rates on the island. You can rent a cart for a couple hours or go all day if you want.

Wouldn’t even give it one star but I don’t have a choice.

Should have listened to the negative reviews. We booked this place because it was close to everything and for the swim up bar. That never opened while we stayed !! They used the excuse that all the Bartenders were working the concert that took place Wednesday and Thursday. Friday it still wasn’t open because “ no staff “. Pools were filthy anyways. We asked when they were cleaning them and they said we don’t know. We were told just too bad go to the pool next door. If I wanted to go to the pool next door we would of booked the one next door. Staff was very argumentative. Our golf cart was also stolen. And relocated to Miller ferry. When I asked if they had cameras they said not in the parking lot … yet they do and point directly to the ground. Come to find out from the place we rented it from the owner of the islander in ( Tim ) is famous for stealing them. The lobby also closed at 3pm because they claim no staff. Zero room service. All around this place is absolutely filthy as seen in the few photos I took.

Based on the reviews, we were expecting a dump...but the room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the shower was hot (and drained just fine)! The location was great too. The hallways did smell musty, but that is expected with being on the island. We will definitely be back!
