Best part is location. On the river with the river bar. Walking distance to jet express and beach. VERY expensive for outdated rooms and bathrooms. We paid for location and the Bait House river bar

Loved the water front view and location, lots of stuff within walking distance. The room could have been cleaner. Bathroom/shower was tiny. Hot water lasted all of 5 minutes. Minimal breakfast selection (packaged muffins/donuts)

The room was clean but it was room basic, there was a bucket for ice in the room but there were no cups in the bedroom or the bathroom. The bed was comfortable. I was told breakfast was donuts and coffee and since I saw a donut shop around the corner I was looking forward to a homemade donut. I was quite surprised to find the offerings consisted of store bought packaged donuts and pastries - mine had an expiration date of 4/6/26 and today's date is 4/22/26

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 A bit outdated, but comfortable.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.
