Hotel overview

Set directly on the waterfront in Port Clinton, this 3-star resort offers a laid-back atmosphere ideal for travelers seeking relaxed lakeside lodging. Rooms are casual and budget-friendly, all equipped with free Wi-Fi and essentials for a comfortable stay. The private beach invites guests to unwind by Lake Erie, while the on-site lakeside restaurant serves fresh, local fare just steps from the rooms.

The property appeals to families and pet owners thanks to its kid-friendly policies and pet accommodations. Though lacking air conditioning and a pool, the resort makes up for it with natural surroundings and cozy, clean accommodations that have been tastefully updated. The building’s quieter side features balconies with views of the lake, promoting peaceful moments and afternoon sun.

Close to regional attractions like the African Safari Wildlife Park and Port Clinton Lighthouse, the location serves as an excellent base for outdoor activities. While some guests noted noise from upstairs neighbors, the overall experience tends toward a relaxing, beachside escape with easy access to local dining and amenities.

“I was a bit worried with some of the reviews. But I think this place was awesome. Its so beachy and cute. Loved the jacuzzi tub. Everything was clean. The beach front was beautiful and quiet. I enjoyed being able to walk over to Docks restaurant. Had Everything you could need in a room.”

“We enjoyed our stay so much. It was a nice little spot right off the lake with its own little beach and restaurant next door. It's not a 5 star resort but we enjoyed it very much. The rooms were cute can tell the place was older but they decorated it nicely. Room was clean we had a nice jacuzzi tub that we warmed up in after a day at the beach, with mini refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. No iron or ironing board but they provided a hair dryer. The only issue was we were on the first floor and the ppl upstairs we could hear all their walking, jumping and running (they has kids) so would suggest if you can do 1 flight of stairs ask to stay on the 2nd floor. We couldn't hear the neighbors on either side but upstairs we definitely could hear them. It was really a nice weekend get away.”

“We loved staying here! It was such a nice view and room. We loved sitting on the balcony just enjoying the view.”

“It's a pretty cool place to stay; right on the beach and across from Dock's. Definitely a good place to stay for a couple of days during the summer. The only problem is that it is very small and prone to being reserved for weddings so you may not get to stay here if you aren't proactive about it, but the Commodore Perry is across the street is always there if you can't stay here.”
