It was a really cool and historic place to stay. It was very clean , had fluffy towels and enjoyed our drink at the bar and breakfast was delicious in the morning.
This was one of the most interesting places I have stayed. Every room has a unique personality and there is so much to see. There is a huge game room in the basement (pool table, etc.). The staff was great! I highly recommend the Steele Mansion.
Very interesting and lovely Inn. The rooms are each different and interesting. Bathroom was very clean and large. We stayed in the Fernery room and the theme was so cute! Comfy bed, great stay!
After several stays at this beautiful mansion, we would never consider any other lodging in the Painesville area. Immaculately clean, friendly staff that go above and beyond to meet and exceed expectations, and a great location just down the block from a beautiful walking path. Thank you Steele Mansion for ANOTHER great experience!!!
I loved every moment of my stay at the Steele Mansion. Everything was immaculately cleaned. The staff was incredibly kind, helpful and ready to assist. The complimentary breakfast was delicious with many options. I will definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone wanting a unique experience filled with ease and comfort.
Beautiful property lovingly restored, immaculately clean, wonderful staff, dog friendly, nice bar, great breakfast included in the price. Highly recommend to anyone passing through Painesville Ohio.
The bedrooms had been fixed beatifully and very properly taken care of, for when we came. They had many games downstairs, like chess and other boardgames. They had a good selection for breakfeast in the morning when you wake up..
