No window blinds or curtains, whirlpool tub was filthy dirty with mold and mildew all over it. Hotel clerk was rude and inconsiderate, very unprofessional. Offered us another room for same price miles away from location, mind you we were staying there for the lake view and whirlpool tub for 2. Other location was miles from lake, so what exactly was we paying for? I would recommend that no one stays here!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This place smelled horrible (like animal urine) as soon as you walked in the door to the building. We got to our room and there were burns all over the tables, boogers on the wall. The bathroom floors were not mopped and you could see the dirt on the floors, the tub had mold around the seals. The pool was cloudy. The only thing this place has in a view if you go outside. Pictures on this are very deceiving. I would recommend going down the street somewhere else.

Wasn't a fan of this hotel. I will never stay there again. Very run down. The carpet in the hallway was wet. Spelled smelled musty and mildewish very outdated. Wi-Fi did not work either. I was very disappointed with that. Went to the front desk and you have to call a number because there's never anybody at the front desk

I only stayed there over night. My room was filled with small ants. I told the person behind the desk when I checked out and he just shrugged his shoulders. It seemed like he didn’t care. So why should I care about going back there again!

We have stayed here 3 times now and always loved this place! This 2 day trip changed that! Room wasn’t vacuumed, hair dryer didn’t work, roach in room, microwave didn’t work, no shelf in fridge that should have had one, complained to front desk and was told sorry nothing we can do! Will never go to this hotel again! I could have been ok with the inconvenient things if they would have done ANYTHING to make it right! They barely wanted to say sorry. Awful customer service

Port Clinton Fishing Adventure

A group of us came to port Clinton for a 2 day fishing adventure. I coordinated the trip for my 3 friends and me. I’ve stayed at the Quality in years past. This will probably be my last. The staff is excellent. The location is much desired. The condition of the building needs great attention. The rooms have an unwelcoming odor and the interior hallway needs repairs. Choice needs to put some money into this structure before it collapses.

The hotel is very dated… we booked a king suite and we were very disappointed with the overall look and smell of the room. The carpets were very old and felt terrible on our bare feet, the window seals had mold, the ac filters looked like they had never been cleaned, the bathtub had hair in it, the chairs and the couch cushions were stained and the bed smelt like an old attic. The continental breakfast consisted of a faulty waffle maker that only one side worked, eggs and frozen sausage. The parking lot was tight but manageable. The staff was nice and friendly though and the view from our room of the lake was pretty cool. Overall, I would not stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay.

Loved the location. Pool/deck area is right on the lake. Rooms were nice and quiet. Next to an ice cream shop (the banana split was so good and the small is really big) also next door to a sea food restaurant and Big boys restaurant.
