Island Location Benefits

Located 0.5 miles from Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial and 1 miles from South Bass Island Lighthouse. Toledo Express Airport is 62 miles away, and the hotel provides access to island attractions including a historic 1917 Herschel carousel, one of the last operational merry-go-rounds in the country.

“This hotel sits at a sweet spot on Put-in-Bay; it's a quick walk to both the lively downtown and the quieter attractions like the caves and winery. I particularly appreciate that you can rent golf carts right at the hotel, which is perfect for zipping around the island. While some may find certain aspects needing updates, the location and service are truly stand out.”
