To start they searched our cooler at arrival. The room is ok with all low end furnishings. The TV is a 21 inch Sharp with what seemed like 6 stations, at least they didn't give us a black and white. Then they searched me again with a small cooler over my shoulder with crackers in it. the Gestapo guarding the... More

Hotel was nice and the pools looked wonderful (too cold this time of year to swim, but they had the lights on in the pools in the evening). The hotel bar was a very nice place to hang out. Beautiful view of the lake from our balcony room. Hotel rooms were your average hotel room, but clean, and bathroom was... More

Hands down, this is the best hotel on Put-in-Bay! We've been visiting the island for the past 6 years and have stayed at many hotels but we just LOVE this one the best! My girlfriends and I spent the weekend in just a 2 queen room. The room was just above your average hotel room but is more spacious and... More

Wow! I am very upset with this resort! My parents had reservations at the hotel for two nights. However, my mother's father passed away suddenly the day before their reservations. We called the hotel management staff and they would not work with us to re-schedule their reservations. Its not like we were asking for a refund, we just wanted to... More

Put-In-Bay is sorely in need of high-end or luxury accomodations. The Bayshore is better than most and I wouldn't consider it a resort. It is an average hotel with average furnishings/decor in the rooms. What sets it apart is it's proximity on the lakefront, rooms with lakeview and the large screened in patios. I stayed in a third floor room... More

Just outside of downtown. Not as crazy as the other hotels. The classiest hotel at Put-In-Bay. All rooms have balconies that overlook 2 lakefront heated pools a Jacuzzi and then Lake Erie. It’s a beautiful sight…It’s the newest hotel on the island. They have a Lakefront pool bar, and a restaurant that’s pretty good. If you’re a young adult though... More

The BayShore Resort is one of the most expensive (if not the most expensive) hotel on Put-In-Bay. At almost $300 per night, perhaps its hefty price tag is designed to keep out the younger, wilder crowd. If so, mission accomplished. The crowd there was definitely in the over-30 category. The rooms look like very standard low budget hotel. Nothing special,... More

stayed here with my family this june 2012 and we had a fabulous time. reasonable golf cart rental and friendly staff. If you are able to its actually a short walk to downtown. Also next to it is a cute little ice cream/breakfast place. Stay was also reasonably priced. View from the room was beautiful. Will def stay here again.

First of, the rooms are not that great - very pricey and just regular rooms! Almost $300 a night is not worth it at all...great views but that's about it. They are very rude and felt like we were kids and had a sitter all day/night long! We rented a room for 2 nights for a vball tournament.... yes, only... More

I will start by saying that this is not a resort, it's a hotel. This hotel is in a GREAT location. Right on the water. Every room has a good view. The rooms are basic, nothing fancy. For $300 a night I expected a little more, but they were clean and pretty large.The bottom floors have a walk out patio... More
