What guests think
At Islander Inn, guests highlight a walkable location and multiple pools with a lively swim-up bar scene, while feedback often notes clean rooms and friendly staff but also loud daytime music and occasional service or maintenance hiccups.
Some note operational limits such as occasional pool bar or hot tub closures in the shoulder season, wristband access rules, paid parking, early golf cart return times, and the lack of an elevator. Room feedback mentions noise from pool music reaching some rooms, compact or dated layouts, TVs that are not smart or malfunction, loud or weak AC, and few in room extras like coffee makers or microwaves. Overall, expect a lively, social, party focused stay close to downtown rather than a quiet, full service resort.

Facilities
Multiple pools with a swim up bar and DJs create a lively scene; some report loud music and occasional off season or maintenance closures of the hot tub or bars. Onsite golf carts are convenient but must be returned by 9pm, parking is paid, and wristbands are required for access.

The hotel is just a few blocks from the Jet ferry at the edge of the entertainment district. Friendly staff and great pools including a swim up bar and lazy river. We had a great afternoon at the pool. Room was as expected. It has a refrigerator but no microwave. I could see it gettin noisy on the weekend. Music at the pool all day into the evening but quiet at night. We would stay there again if we come back to Put In Bay.

Great place to stay, the only annoying thing was the band that we had to put on for the whole duration of our stay, it doesn't make sense to me why that is necessary, and the only way we can remove the band is to cut it, so that means outside the hotel and also inside our rooms, we had to keep the band on, which was not pleasing at all for better duration of 2 days, giving a card which can use to enter the premises just like there is a card for the room would be the better option, anything but that Band pleaseee lol

Standard room and amenities, overall nice, you get what you pay for. There was fairly loud music being played at the pool but it was only on from morning until around 8 so sleeping was fine. Convenient location but you do have to pay for parking at the hotel.

It’s a fun place! Had a DJ most days. Was supposed to have one on Sunday, Aug 31, but he didn’t show up. No microwaves in rooms, no elevators. The bartender, Dylan, at the swim up bar was friendly and fun. If you rent a golf cart from the hotel, it has to be returned by 9pm, so I suggest you rent it from somewhere else(plus it’s cheaper). I had already paid for my stay through a 3rd party app, but when I got to the hotel, they charged me again. I said I wasn’t going to argue and I’ll figure it out later, another clerk decided he wanted to argue with me, I had again stated I wasn’t arguing after traveling 5 hours, because I didn’t want it to ruin my holiday weekend. (again, I wasn’t upset, I said I’d figure it out later) and he stated it was Expedia’s fault, which isn’t even who I booked with? I did get it worked out once I got home. Overall, it was a nice place. Not sure I’d book here again due to the no elevator situation and having to carry all your stuff up stairs. Also, you can’t take your own alcohol to the pool, and of course their drinks are overpriced

The swim up bar was nice. If you are going with a family, I think during the week would be better. On the weekend, there were a lot of young drunk people. But it would be nice for a family due to pool options.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Initially, we encountered a non-working elevator and had to lug our bags to the third floor. But, it was working again when we checked out. Renting a golf cart on site was very convenient but having to turn it in by 9:00 pm was not great, especially on the 4th with fireworks not ending until after 10:00. It was nice to have multiple pools available. Our room was clean and comfortable. Cleaning and general property staff were very friendly and eager to help. We will consider staying again when we are in PIB.

Quiet at night. Daytime, the music is super loud, pool is not for only guests staying at hotel and is not relaxing due to the amount of people. Golf carts rented at this hotel have to be returned by 9pm. First time staying at this hotel, much better options on the island.

We were very disappointed in this hotel stay. Even though it looks like they are updating their rooms, the old rooms were very dirty. Food left in the refrigerator; lip balm left on the floor. Dirty carpet that looked like it was never vacuumed because of all the of bugs in the corners. We had three people and there was not enough room for all of us. The beds were right up against the walls. You had to turn sideways to get out of the beds. The vending machines were not labeled correctly. We picked 7up and got Dr Pepper. Lastly the hot tub was so extremely hot you couldn't sit in it.

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.

No soap at all in the bathroom when we checked in and I went to the housekeeping room and asked for some, the lady was very rude. Later that night we notice a lot of gnats in our room flying around. After killing about 10 of them we kept the light on in the bathroom to get them to go in there when we went to bed. The next morning we reported it and housekeeping came to clean them up but we said they needed to be sprayed because there were many alive flying around. They called maintenance and he came and sprayed around the door outside and vacuumed up what he could. There is a gap between the door to outside where they can get in so more came in. We left to go to the pool and when he left he did not secure our door. We came back to the door ajar. Our room on day 2, was not cleaned at all as it was as the same as we left it. We didn't complain as we had not used the towels yet. We had to again leave the bathroom light on all night to attract the gnats where in the morning there were several in there again. While we were gone the housekeeping staff had been in as they did leave bathroom amenities and new towels but there was no cleaning done. I let management know and their only reply was this was their policy and the door was put on a list to be fixed. The hotel allows anyone to use the pools with out staying there so what was I paying for. Lastly our toilet stopped working and I was handed a plunger to fix it myself while 3 people were standing behind the front desk.

The DJ’s, bars and pools really made the price worth it for our stay. This hotel was in a really great area where every place we wanted to go to was a short walk. One thing that our group didn’t enjoy were the beds. When I booked our stay and got the receipts at the end of our stay we were told queen size beds in each room, but they were only full size beds. Made it hard for a good nights sleep. Also wish there was some more room to hang our wet suits and towels. Would still recommend this place to stay

Nice property, lots of pools. Needs updated just a little, did not have smart TVs and was unable to watch football. At night the only entrance is through a back gate in an alley that is dark. A well lit up area would be nice. Overall was nice. A few more amenities would be great. We had a good time!

The bartender, Dylan, at the swim up bar was friendly and fun. If you rent a golf cart from the hotel, it has to be returned by 9pm, so I suggest you rent it from somewhere else(plus it’s cheaper). I had already paid for my stay through a 3rd party app, but when I got to the hotel, they charged me again. I said I wasn’t going to argue and I’ll figure it out later, another clerk decided he wanted to argue with me, I had again stated I wasn’t arguing after traveling 5 hours, because I didn’t want it to ruin my holiday weekend. (again, I wasn’t upset, I said I’d figure it out later) and he stated it was Expedia’s fault, which isn’t even who I booked with? I did get it worked out once I got home. Overall, it was a nice place. Not sure I’d book here again due to the no elevator situation and having to carry all your stuff up stairs. Also, you can’t take your own alcohol to the pool, and of course their drinks are overpriced

No soap at all in the bathroom when we checked in and I went to the housekeeping room and asked for some, the lady was very rude. Later that night we notice a lot of gnats in our room flying around. After killing about 10 of them we kept the light on in the bathroom to get them to go in there when we went to bed. The next morning we reported it and housekeeping came to clean them up but we said they needed to be sprayed because there were many alive flying around. They called maintenance and he came and sprayed around the door outside and vacuumed up what he could. There is a gap between the door to outside where they can get in so more came in. We left to go to the pool and when he left he did not secure our door. We came back to the door ajar. Our room on day 2, was not cleaned at all as it was as the same as we left it. We didn't complain as we had not used the towels yet. We had to again leave the bathroom light on all night to attract the gnats where in the morning there were several in there again. While we were gone the housekeeping staff had been in as they did leave bathroom amenities and new towels but there was no cleaning done. I let management know and their only reply was this was their policy and the door was put on a list to be fixed. The hotel allows anyone to use the pools with out staying there so what was I paying for. Lastly our toilet stopped working and I was handed a plunger to fix it myself while 3 people were standing behind the front desk.

Reservations were constantly being changed. I requested first floor and they assured me by email it would be and when I checked in, it wasn't. They double booked us into someone else room then booking the golf cart kept getting messed up and I had to call 4 x to get it straightened out and in the end, it was still a mess.

The hotel is just a few blocks from the Jet ferry at the edge of the entertainment district. Friendly staff and great pools including a swim up bar and lazy river. We had a great afternoon at the pool. Room was as expected. It has a refrigerator but no microwave. I could see it gettin noisy on the weekend. Music at the pool all day into the evening but quiet at night. We would stay there again if we come back to Put In Bay.

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.

Did enjoy our stay overall but swimup bar was not open and we didn't know that until we checked in. Rooms were clean and staff was very friendly and accommodating. We tried relaxing in the hot tub but there were small children splashing and jumping in from the sides when they should have been in the pool to do that!

Super clean room and friendly staff. The room had adequate amenities and appeared more recently remodeled. My only issue is the lack of a coffee maker. And the free coffee in the lobby was watered down and disgusting but no big deal.

The room was clean with a nice balcony. The main lobby is clean and nice looking. The staff is wonderful. The pool area is excellent and so fun!! Just noting that there is no coffee maker or microwave in the room. No phone or clock either. The bathroom definitely needs hooks or a place for towels. Those aren't deal breakers because it's such a fun atmosphere. Also know that you have to pay $20 a day for parking. Other places are free but the location of this hotel is worth it. It's close to everything you need in walking distance. We loved it so much we already booked for July 2027. We met so many wonderful people and the vibe is just right. You won't be disappointed staying here.
