“A little pricey but overall quite pleasant”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

My traveling partner and I were looking for a convenient base from which to explore Put-in-Bay and Marblehead, Ohio. The Victorian Inn was definitely convenient, comfortable, and clean - but be aware that it sits on a busy highway. This is a practical and pleasant place to stay, not a charming, cozy lakeside cottage some might expect from the photo and street address. We really liked the innkeeper Ann who greeted us with a cheerful disposition, gave us good traveling advice, and fed us a hearty down-home breakfast of sausage, eggs, and blueberry pancakes. Our room was spacious and clean, but the bathroom lacked some of the amenities we have come to expect from bed and breakfasts. No blow drier, no shampoo or conditioner - just two bottles of Dial hand soap. Ann gives a discount if you use cash instead of credit, which we did. Overall, we thought the place a bit pricey considering its fairly low-frills ambience, but we liked it nonetheless.

Room Tip: If a little traffic noise bothers you, request a room facing the back yard.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your stay. Over the 17 years we have operated our B&B we have found the majority of our guest prefer to bring their own brand of body baths and hair supplies. ( so many new products to choose from) with very few request for hair dryers. Our inn always have a supply of any toiletry from toothbrushes to shaving cream along with hair dryers, iron and ironing board if needed.

In our coffee area we always have fresh fruit, snacks, coffee and tea at any time for those late night hunger attacks. For all the ladies that like to shop, there is a boutique to enjoy without leaving the premises.

Six great restaurants in the area offer our guest a 10% discount: Mon Ami, Island House Grill, Crabby Joe"s, Crow's Nest , Cleets and The Islander Grill.



We appriciate your comments.

“Great Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

For us, this B&B was a mixture of good and average. We liked the location for the nearness to Lakeside, but the busy road out front was noisy. Our room was the smaller one facing the busy street. Other people may have had larger rooms and the quieter part of the Inn. While we liked having a nice array of breakfast items -- blueberry bread, boiled eggs and fruit, we thought the actual breakfast could have been better. Our breakfast for 2 days was fried eggs, hash browns and sausage and one day we got pancakes. Most B&B's offer stuffed french toast or more "gourmet" breakfasts.
Accomodating and helpful .. Yes, I would agree with other reviewers that our hostess was accomodating. I remembered my hair dryer and I think if I hadn't and had asked her to borrow one, she would have done it. She also had good ideas for lunch.
Wi-fi .... spotty at best. It works, but then the connection would drop; then it would work again for 5 minutes, then drop.
Bring cash or check ...This B&B will take your credit card, but charge you more to cover the fees.
Cleanliness .. yes, one day we went down for breakfast and when we returned, our room was already replenished with towels, bed made, and ready to go!

Room Tip: Stay away from rooms in the front of the house. There were other rooms on the first floor, near the...

I'm sorry you did not thoroughly enjoy your stay at the Victorian Inn. We strive to deliver outstanding hospitality to everyone who stays with us. To help us do so, we ask that guest notify us if there is anything we can do to make their stay more comfortable.
We work very hard to maintain our "curb apparence" and never hide the fact that we are located on a main road.
While we have not received other comments about the size of the room, we will certainly make sure that there is sufficient space. Guest wanting a change of scenery can enjoy our great room. The great room is furnished with comfortable chairs, wood-burning fire place, and a large-screen television.
Off of the great room is a handicap ramp for our guest that are in a wheelchair or have trouble walking with two other guest rooms located in the rear. All of our guest room have cable television in their room. If any of our guest would like to watch televison late at night in the great room area, we ask if they would please keep the volume down and have never asked people to keep quiet.
We currently offer both buffet and a hot plated breakfast to our guests. Guest will find the buffet chock-full of fresh fruit, assorted yogurts, cereal, hard-boiled eggs, and pastry with a variety of coffees, teas, and creamers. The hot breakfast varies by day and include such delicacies as Apple Danish French Toast and savory casseroles." Request are welcome"
A wireless router was installed for our guest with laptops since we have cable for our internet. Sorry for the spotty connection and we will be doing an upgrade.
We have NEVER charged more for use of a credit card for payment but had decided this year to give a discount if payment was made in cash or check . Our rates have not changed in five years. and we plan to keep them the same again next year.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about your stay, we appreciate your comments.
