Kelleys Island Venture Resort

The room was great! Plenty of space for us on one side and our kids on the other. The pool needs some work done on it. The view are spectacular! Great location.

We have been staying each summer at the Venture Resort for years! About two years ago, it was sold to another owner and since then, it has not been the same. Although the rooms were still nice and clean this year, the pool was not! The pool needs to be maintained better. In addition, there were so many cobwebs around the pool chairs, tables, and on our balcony. Needs some major power washing. We want this place to keep its charm- it's always been so beautiful. But it needs more attention.

As far as the rooms go they're not bad clean except a few cob webs in the corner of the living room. As far as the hot tub goes the filters were so full that the pump couldn't suck anything else out of the hot tub so it was nasty. Only one of the message ports in the hot tub had any pressure to it and the water was barely warm. The pool itself is way to small for as many rooms that this hotel has.

We were there a little off season, so the pool wasn't open and it was pretty quiet there. Our room looked like it was brand new and it was a two story room with three beds. Everything was clean and enjoyed our stay. The staff was pleasant and very helpful. Most of the restaurants are a little bit of a walk away, so if you don't mind a 1/2 mile walk to get to shopping and restaurants, then you better plan on renting a golf cart. There is not a ton to do on the island, so if you are looking for a place to chill and relax, then this is the place.

Dead bugs all over the bed and headboard upon check in. Marvin was the only one working, so couldn’t get anyone to change the bedding. We had to change it ourselves. Pool was dirty, “hot” tub was gross and cold.

I’ve stayed here several times. Since this is the only non-BNB hotel on the island worth staying at, and it’s clean, I can’t really balk at the prices. That being said, there should be more included with the price of the rooms - for example, the previous owners provided free bicycles. The room seemed mostly clean and I wasn’t worried about bugs. The front desk was friendly enough, they must be struggling to find cleaning help because they do not automatically change out your linens or trash. Be prepared to pay if you want early check-in. The online reservation system isn’t great - once you “book” your room, it’s not confirmed yet, you have to wait for Arraiva to email you (several hours later) and then you have to go back into their site and provide your credit card info again. Only then do you get a reservation confirmation email. There is no warning about this when you initially book your room, so you could miss that 2nd step if you’re not on top of your email.
