My husband stays here every year for fishing. It might be a little older, but it's a great place to stay on the lake. It's within walking distance to everything you need.

Stay here several years ago and it was a nightmare, but decided to try again and was pleasantly surprised. A bit outdated, but comfortable. If you’re going to Port Clinton for a fishing trip, highly recommend staying here. Choose a waterfront room. View is beautiful.

Good place for value

Reasonably priced basic hotel for an overnight trip. Waterfront room was decently clean and had good air circulation. Check in and check out process was very quick.

This is a very old motel it was clean. It had no heat and it was a cold night the heater refused to work. The mattress was so worn down it was bowed. The bed had no top sheet so we had to sleep against the blanket ok at home not in a hotel. The front desk computer kept coming up with a rate that was 1 1/2 times the rate I was told thru hotels. When I questioned the math she just kept saying it’s what the computer said. Never at this hotel again

Dirty room

Room was very dusty. The microwave was disgusting. The bathroom was clean. This is an older hotel and I'm sure seasonal but could have been cleaned better.

The staff were very helpful. Although it's on the water, you can't fish which a place on the water you would think that's an option..also having a porch to sit on but you have to walk around the hotel to do so. Beds not the most comfortable.
