The check in time is a little late (3 to 4pm), but they will let you go on the beach to wait, which was lovely. There's also a beach front restaurant right next door. Wonderful stay, friendly staff!

I was there off season, but it was quiet and clean. The Lake Erie beach view was beautiful and the property was kept very well. There are places to eat within walking distance and the ferry to the islands is just a walk away.
