Loves this hotel and its location. Great to be able to get to kelleys island ferry easily. Staff is friendly and rooms are clean. The decor is a little outdated and beds are not very comfortable. But the amenities and cleanliness makes up for it. Love the pool area and cottages to rent

A nice kid friendly place. Hotel room is not made for comfort. Blankets are itchy. Pillows are flat, and the air conditioner is loud. Shower squeaks. Breakfast was good, and my granddaughter enjoyed the pool. A bit overpriced

South Beach has a lot to offer, especially for families. We enjoyed the walk to the pier and two gazebos, but you could also swim in the pool or let kids play in the very nice play area. The breakfast was as expected for a continental breakfast. The dining area is large, a beautifully decorated with wooden tables and beach memorabilia, unlike lodging from the chains--often small, no character, and with the news blaring. The staff was very helpful and gracious. I felt it was a good value. They do charge a $38 resort fee, and although we didn't use it, that seemed fair. There was a nautical/beach theme throughout, which I enjoyed.
