What guests think
At Bayshore Resort At Put-In-Bay, reviewers consistently praise the lakefront views, screened-in balconies, walkable location near downtown, and lively pool area with a tiki bar, while many also note friendly staff that often enhance their stay.
Recurring drawbacks include a lack of in-room basics like mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffee makers, plus no complimentary breakfast. Cleanliness and maintenance feedback is mixed, with some rooms called spotless while others report cobwebs, moldy showers, musty odors, small outdated TVs, or issues such as broken ice/vending machines and occasionally weak hot water. Expect scenic, resort-style outdoor spaces and a convenient base, but simpler rooms and amenities than the price might suggest.

Facilities
Pools and a hot tub by the lake, plus a tiki bar and occasional food stand, are frequent highlights. However, guests report recurring outages for ice and vending machines, variable hours or seasonal closures, and on-site golf cart rentals that can feel pricey.

This was our first trip and it did not disappoint!! Highs in the 60’s in August forced us into the hot tub only but it was plenty big enough to accommodate. The view is amazing!! The entire resort is cashless so keep that in mind. Also, the burger shack in the front closes whenever they feel like it so even if you were told 8 they could close at 7!

Check in is at 4pm and we had to wait for our room to be cleaned. We were sitting in the lobby and they never let us know if the room was ready. We had to keep going up to them and ask if it was ready yet. When we finally got into our room, we didn't have any towels. We asked twice for towels and they said that they were still being washed. The third time that we asked for towels, they finally gave us some. There is no free coffee and no free breakfast. Ice machines on each floor was not working or coming out slow.

What you pay per night, is not worth what you get. When we got there, i needed some water. All of the vending machines were broken, there was a sign at the desk saying, we will be back. Had to leave the property to find a bottle of water. Then our ive maker on our floor did not work. Not very clean and no customer service

The tiki bar and food shack weren’t open as advertised. The ice machine was out of order. They charged for coffee. The room smelled of mold and mildew. There was visible mold in the bathroom and the grout needs to be scrubbed. In the bright side the pool was clean and heated and the staff was friendly!

Our room needed repairs & updating. Bathroom was rough and not cleaned well before our stay (layer of hair and lint on ice bucket, hairs in the shower, moldy shower curtain, toilet had black stains in it, floor wasn’t clean, finger prints on toilet handle, etc.) Needed serious updating: missing grout, loose tiles, peeling laminate on shelves, etc. Our room didn’t even have a box of tissues. Mirrors were smudged, trash on our porch too. Housekeeping hung out in a room a few doors down for most of the day and never serviced our room during our stay. This place has potential if they would just do the bare minimum to keep up with basic cleanliness and maintenance. The view from our screened in porch was great, the pool area looked well kept and it was close enough to the action we could walk there, but it was quiet enough to get a good night’s sleep. We won’t be back.

Room on the first floor. Had a terrace with a patio set. There was a dirty towel in One of the chairs and we had just arrived. the toilet had not been properly scrubbed. The patio door had spider webs and spiders hanging from it. Room had a musty odor. Hard to be comfortable in a bed when the room doesn’t smell fresh. Just not up to the standard we are accustomed to. Way over priced for the amount charged.

The room had tons of cobwebs. Had to get the manager to bring staff to clean it. The ice machine AND vending machine on the first floor were out of order. But the views were spectacular. It’s frustrating because the manager tried rationalizing the cobwebs, when the cobwebs had dust. These scenic hotels think they can get away with not cleaning rooms correctly because they’re on a waterfront property. It really ruins the experience. Service was great, but due to cleanliness and inconveniences, it’s a 3 star from me.

It is a great place to stay. It's a great location and the view is amazing. I hope the hotel decided to remodel sometime soon. They do not have refrigerators, microwaves, or coffee pots in the room. The TV is also extremely small. We flipped on the TV in the morning as we were getting ready and it was hard to see from the bed. We did enjoy the view and the balcony.

Our stay was great. They can’t help it if parents don’t teach their kids to be considerate of others in the pool or rooms. Beds were comfortable. Everything was clean. Bathrooms and showers have not been updated and need some work.TV was a small as a computer monitor. As others noted, there is no mini fridge, coffee maker or microwave, which is really behind the times, especially at these prices. You have to go downstairs to the coffee shop and actually pay four dollars for a cup of coffee. It just seems so ridiculous. Just get some coffee makers and put them in the room for goodness sake or have a self serve kiosk. Really just seems like another money grab. Great views, close to town. We would stay here again.

Also when we wanted to use the hot tub and jets were not turning on and again asked the front desk for assistance and said she would have maintenance help us and again no one ever showed. Beautiful hotel just poor customer service.

The views were amazing and we rented a golf cart from them which was very convenient. Yes we were there in the off season but what a great place with very nice facilities. We lived the lake views and screened in balcony. The room was big and clean. We hope to stay again!

The view was beautiful. The swimming options were nice. However, the bathroom floor was dirty. The toilet kept running. We had holes in our blankets. No manager was ever found. We have emailed manager Nick several times and zero responses. We were on a time limit so while there we texted the number we were given to reach Nick and zero communication back and we went downstairs to reach a manager which we were told was Nick and he was nowhere to be found. For how expensive it was and for us to have to pay an additional 100$ for an "early" check in..... this was a rip off in my eyes. There was also paint hanging off the walls. Loud music late at night. Halls and elevator smelled like marijuana.

The front desk staff are super nice and helpful. I ask the cleaning lady to clean our room and empty the trash…she dropped towels off. Our trashcans were overflowing and they did not empty the trash. Would not make bed. The elevator carpet looked like someone may have vomited on it a time or two. It definitely needs some TLC.

Overall, this was a good stay. The room was comfortable & clean. The staff was great. My keycard stopped working. I thought it just needed a battery change.The night clerk picked my lock at midnight. She was very nice & apologetic. But then after that, my keycard kept demagnetizing over & over again. I had to go to the desk up to 8 times to get a new key over & over again. The manager & the desk clerk told me I would get $50 off for the 4 nights I stayed. Well, in the end that didn't happened. I was lied to. I never got mad which I probably should have-then I might have gotten my discount. I had a good stay but just not coming through with a promise is just not right. Do better Bayshore.

Greatly exceeded my expectations. Not fancy but has everything you need to really feel like you are at a resort even though you are only on Lake Erie. Beds are so soft. Balcony overlooking Lake Erie is a nice touch Nice little coffee shop. Great tiki bar with amazing bartenders. Rent golf cars right on premises. So close to downtown you could easily walk it unless you want to explore. Then get a cart. Great family weekend getaway with older teenagers. We all had a blast.

Our room had a great view of the lake and pools. Not a far walk to downtown. Would stay again!

Dining
On-site options center on a tiki bar and a burger or food stand, with coffee available for purchase; some praise the burgers. Several note limited hours, higher prices, and no complimentary breakfast or in-room coffee.

This was our first trip and it did not disappoint!! Highs in the 60’s in August forced us into the hot tub only but it was plenty big enough to accommodate. The view is amazing!! The entire resort is cashless so keep that in mind. Also, the burger shack in the front closes whenever they feel like it so even if you were told 8 they could close at 7!

Check in is at 4pm and we had to wait for our room to be cleaned. We were sitting in the lobby and they never let us know if the room was ready. We had to keep going up to them and ask if it was ready yet. When we finally got into our room, we didn't have any towels. We asked twice for towels and they said that they were still being washed. The third time that we asked for towels, they finally gave us some. There is no free coffee and no free breakfast. Ice machines on each floor was not working or coming out slow.

Rooms were pretty average,beds and pillows were comfortable. Pool area is nice,loved the tiki bar but could use additional staffing sometimes the wait was over 30 min. The Burgers from the little shack out front were amazing!

I have stayed at this hotel many times over the years. I always loved it there. The staff is great. However, since it has been under new ownership it seems that they don't even provide the basic comforts that a nice hotel should have. No continental breakfast and the restaurant on premises is closed. There was no coffee maker in the room. You had to go into the lobby and pay at least 3.50 or more for a cup of coffee. The drinks at the Tiki bar were very expensive. No fridge or microwave in the room either. The ice machines and pop machines were out of order on both floors. There were no bath mats in either room that we booked. For such a nice hotel in a beautiful location it seemed like there should have been at least basic amenities. It seems like it is just all about the money now.

The tiki bar and food shack weren’t open as advertised. The ice machine was out of order. They charged for coffee. The room smelled of mold and mildew. There was visible mold in the bathroom and the grout needs to be scrubbed. In the bright side the pool was clean and heated and the staff was friendly!

The lake view from our room was amazing. The hotel location is great, short walk to downtown. Pools are great and the Tiki bar is fun.But there are things that good hotels do for their customers that Bayshore doesn't seem to care about, just little amenities. Number one the rooms just lack comforts. no coffee in the rooms.(you can buy it in the lobby at certain times) no microwave, refrigerator, iron or ironing board. Most hotels today offer breakfast, Not this one, there's not even a snack machine. As far as cleanliness there was black mold in the shower and I originally thought the grout in the bathroom was black until I saw the tile under the sink where it's off white. Overall I enjoyed the island but I think if we ever go back we would pick a diffrerent hotel.

First hotel I've stayed at that doesn't give you in room coffee. There's a little coffee place downstairs that the charge you for the coffee but it's not staffed, so you have to wait. Thankfully I took my own pillow cause the ones there stink!

Great staff, enjoyed the pool (very clean), wish you had more food options on site. Golf Cart prices are a little high (should be a discount if you are staying at the hotel).

We love PIB. Last minute trip, and always wanted to try Bayshore. A great experience, and looking forward to staying again.

I went for one night to enjoy Oktoberfest on the island. Definitely nicer place on PIB. We were right on the lake and saw the two pools and huge hot tub. I didn't even think about a swimsuit because it's October, but it was still open and people were using the hot tub. I think they shut it down for the season the next day. Property was clean, the rooms were larger than expected. The bathroom had a walk-in shower, no tub, but also very large. It was a nice find!
