We arrived to check in at 3:45 and there was not a soul in the office for us to check in. Then when we went to check out a day early, because the entire island was pretty much closed for the season. We checked out at 7:15, again, not a sole in the office and the lights were all out and doors locked. We left our key cards in the room and left. Hope they realized we checked out on Saturday and don't charge us extra days. It said to drop the keys off in the office upon checking out, but that is kind of hard to do when the office is closed and locked. We definitely won't be back!

Being on Lake Erie is very nice. Kelleys island is quaint and well worth a visit. Interior is in need of updates and new carpeting. Lighting is very poor, especially around the pool. Understaffed. Bicycles used to be available here and bugs used to be swept from the exterior by former owner of property.

The room had an odor which we noticed right away. Then the toilet bowl definitely had not been cleaned for a while. The carpeting had so many stains so should be replaced or scrubbed. The pool had a black ring around the bottom and needs to be addressed. The island had a scheduled power outage from 4am til 12pm and there was no back up generator to run lights or air conditioning. We therefore could not shower in the morning.

On arrival our room wasn't ready due to the fact of only 1 person working. She had it ready in about 20 minutes though. The exterior needs a good power wash. Room size was great. Bed was harder than I would like.

I wouldn't know because I canceled at 10 AM because my fiancé became ill. Didn't get to see the room called the hotel to cancel and they still sent me messages as if I were going to be there.

The Venture Resort has a great location, comfortable rooms and a nice pool and hot tub, and we’ve stayed here a number of times over the years. However, over the past two years there’s been a noticeable decline in the upkeep of the grounds, the building exterior and the hotub and pool. The building exterior, stairwells and balcony chairs were covered in bugs, the once lovely grounds looked neglected, the large pool area had very worn furnishings with only one umbrella and the pool and hot tub were quite dirty. It was sad to see this once beautiful property looking so run down. On the flip side, the Venture Resort still has it’s great location, our room was very clean and the staff was helpful and friendly.

We loved the room with three queens and the view was fabulous!! We are definitely re-booking before end of summer. They even accommodated storing our electric bikes!!! So nice staff! The “only” annoying thing was a loud noise from pool filter nonstop….was hard to tolerate with the beautiful setting 🙁

The resort was easy to find and the employees at the front desk were knowledgeable and informative to what was going on the island (an island race with road closures). The cleanliness of the room was lacking with a wet stain on the bathroom floor and crumbs being left on the bedroom floor as well. The mattress was older having indents left from previous guests.

Eh not great
The upstairs bed pillow had hairs on it and a bottle cap in the sheets. Hottub was just warm and dirty. No jets running little kids in it splashing no policy for that Very hard to reach someone regarding anything. Smelled like puke behind steps and our room key did not work the 2nd day but nobody in office to tell

Basic property in a nice location. This is a two- story motel style lodging. I'm not sure what resort refers to. There is a hot tub and pool that weren't open because it was before season. It has a small deck on the lake across the street. This is an older, dates property that's well maintained with nice grounds. Onsite staff is minimal. You'll have to call an offsite call center for most things. It is the only motel style lodging on the island.

The first room we had booked was not cleaned. They did give us another room. The TV didn’t work, the bathroom door was difficult to close and the seemed like it could have been cleaned better. I expected for 2 nights so much more for $700

We loved our stay. Our hotel room was PERFECT in every way. The water was across the street and we enjoyed sitting in the adirondack chairs watching the waves. I would definitely recommend Kelleys Island Venture Resort to friends and family.
