The Islander Inn

What guests think

At The Islander Inn, guests praise the lakeside setting and easy access to nearby restaurants, while feedback on cleanliness and operations is mixed, with some spotless rooms and smooth self check in contrasted by maintenance lapses and code issues.

Rooms are often described as cute, comfortable, and island themed, with some featuring kitchenettes and even private hot tubs. However, several reviews cite inconsistent housekeeping, grounds that need attention, limited parking, and trouble reaching staff when keyless entry fails. Expect a scenic, low-key stay near food and the lake, but with service and maintenance that can vary.

Room was fine, clean, quaint and easy check in. Could not figure out how Spectrum worked. When you click the Spectrum app it would ask for a password. 2 remotes, one TV and cable box, you should leave instructions. Had to watch Roku TV! No ice until the morning we checked out and the only firewood I could find was some burnt pieces in the pits. For $250/night could have been better!

Ice build-up (2" ) in the freezer so door would not close, we were asked to unplug and pull out. Sauna was leaking in rainwater. No ice - told to punch in code to open ice box - no lock and no ice, told to go across street to restaurant and ask for bag of ice. Grounds not kept up. Air conditioner/heater full of dust and debris.

The owners must have submitted the positive ratings themselves because there is no way one could call this property clean or well maintained. It is dirty, dingy, poorly equipped, near zero communication from management. They lied about a free breakfast, the restaurant wasn’t open. It did have a bed and a shower, so I had to give it one star. Make sure you have slippers because you wouldn’t want to put your bare feet on the floor.

The room had not been cleaned before we arrived. I hope at least the sheets had been changed. Upon arrival we had a dirty towel and robe in the bathroom, no toilet paper, and no soap in the soap dispenser. I asked the guy cleaning next door for supplies. Later when I went to make coffee, I found old coffee and grounds in the pot. The robe that was hanging up had many stains on it and there was so much dust behind the television.

Reception was closed and there was a contact number written on a white board. I receieved a text about a code to access my room, and when I entered the room, it was clean but over powered by a cinnamon smell. I had to air out the room. Contacted reception by the number provided and connected to a switch board number which was not local. I receieved a text saying they switched my room, and provided with a new access code. The room stilll smelled and aired it out. I will not stay at this "inn" and wpuld not recommend it.

Hotel is GREAT... Has some throwback looking items in it giving it a fun feel.... beds were very good, but the AC does blow on you which i personally dont like, but i did love how cold it was able to get the room as i sleep best in a cold room under warm covers. Rooms were VERY CLEAN which my wife and I loved... restaurants around the hotel were good food and we could take left overs all because our hotel had a fridge and a microwave. Very enjoyable stay.... Only issues were minor... bushes not trimmed so couldnt walk on all of the sidewalk because of that, and the road in front of the hotel is a bit rough. I would absolutely go there again and still give it a 4.7 / 5 if not a little higher....

A good value. Comfortable, clean , good beds, towels, good wifi. Quaint and welcoming decor. Looks much better on the inside- a little weathered on the outside, but don’t let that put you off. It was surprisingly quiet situated next to the road, too. We had a wonderful dinner next door at Bonfire”. There are two other more casual dining options across the street on the lake, too. A good stay.

I didn\'t have any interaction with staff. The place had a funky smell and my shoes stuck to the floor. The building seemed to have been built "back in the day" and seemed on the verge of various things going to need replacing. The water line had air in it and spurted from the faucet in fits and starts. I don\'t know if the unit i was in had pets previously, but the couch has seen better days. I hesitated to sit on it. My overall take on it was that it is not clean.More like what might be considered fancy camping in the 1960s.

Pros- beautiful area, easy parking, comfy bed Cons- no hot water, I had to turn on the water to get the toilet working, no water at bathroom sink ( I couldn’t figure out where to turn it on-unlike the toilet), kitchen sink didn’t drain, coffee pot was dirty, floor needed swept in the whole unit. It seemed like no one had stayed in the room in a long time, and it was just kind of neglected.

The view of Flathead Lake was beautiful from The Raven Bar and Grill back patio. There is no water/beach access so if that is something that the traveler desires they must drive to another location. The room was quiet even though the Inn is located on a 2 lane road that can get busy. Check in was smooth, we didn't see or interact with any staff or service personnel.

The hotel room felt more like a personalized space with warm feel to it. Only suggestion would be to add curtains on the front windows to block the car’s headlights and another layer of security on the front door. Staying as a single person I did not feel as safe. It had plenty of little touches and lots of towels. Didn’t need soap or hair soap. Great restaurant next door. Will definitely stay again!!

Automatic locking system failed us. Was able to enter the code giving and it worked once. Fortunately my spouse was inside when I tested lock mechanism by touching the lock button and from there on the code would not allow it to unlock. We were not able to leave to enjoy a nearby restaurant for food and drinks, only if we packed everything by in the vehicle and leave the room unlocked. The individual that was there monitoring the establishment was an idiot that was no help. Number at the so called desk area was called but no responding. The room was comfortable and cozy for a night stay. I hope someone contacts whom ever owns this place to inform them of our issue so it doesn’t happen to someone else moving forward

We never received any information about checking in. No email, text,phone call. When we arrived there was no one in the office, no information about who to contact or how posted anywhere. Went to the bar across the hyway. They said try the next bar down the street she is usually there. found her at the bar. sounded put out about helping us said you got a email . Told never received any checking in information. Never got anything from the hotel. Big sigh ok so looked up our information on her phone and told me how to get into our room. Then I told there's another couple over by the office sitting in the 95 degrees heat for a while waiting for help also. She ask me for there name . I don't know what there name is just that they have been waiting for quite awhile for someone to show up. Then she sighed guess I better go over there. Tried email the owner from the info sheet later not a good email address . The good thing is the room is very nice ,clean and comfortable. The outside needs a good lawn care job and trash pickup.

They had a power outage so we had to call for the key code. They answered the second time we called. There is no one on site. The sprinklers were running in the morning, soaking the cars and the sidewalks right in front of the hotel. We called and asked them to shut them off so we went to get soaked when we were loading our car and no one answered. We had to wait for them to shut off.
