10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Victorian Inn for a long weekend; we traveled to Marblehead to go to the Marblehead Lighthouse (which is amazing) and to spend a day at Kelleys Island. The Victorian Inn was the perfect location as the Lighthouse was only a 5-minute drive and the Ferry to Kelleys Island was only a 9-minute drive. We stayed in the Unique Marker Hideaway Room #3. The Room was beautiful and extremely clean!! Cleanliness is one of the most important things to me when I stay somewhere. The Victorian Inn is one of the cleanest places I've ever stayed! The bed was comfortable and the bathroom fully stocked with plush towels, hairdryer and toiletries. The bathroom was very clean everything was spotless! It was a hot weekend and the air conditioning in the room worked great and kept us cool. The entire Inn was clean and so comfortable. The gathering room had the most comfortable recliners and couches. We relaxed in the recliners after a long day. The grounds surrounding the Inn are so beautiful. The flowers and yard were well maintained. We loved watching the hummingbirds! The cook, Kelly was so welcoming and her breakfast was delicious. She gave us recommendations for things to do during our stay. The owner Shelly was wonderful to work with. She answered questions we had before we booked the room and contacted us the day we arrived to make sure our room was perfect and we had everything we needed. Our experience at the Victorian Inn was wonderful from booking to checking out!! We highly recommend staying in this beautiful Inn!! Thank you, Shelly, for a great experience! Kelly and your cleaning crew are the best!!"
