Just an older hotel. Clean but nothing fancy. Wished for a coffee pot in the room. Lots of cobwebs around the windows- could use a good cleaning. For the price and location, I would do it again!

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 A bit outdated, but comfortable.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.

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.

The staff was very nice and it was in a great location for easy access to the Jet Express. The beds were hard as a rock, the TV barely worked, there was no additional lock on the door, and there were crumbs and dirt around the bed still when we checked in.
