"I spent two days at this hotel in Port Clinton, Ohio, and it was one of the best hotel stays I've had in a long time. The room was spotless, with beautiful water views and wildlife. Breakfast was very good as well. What truly stood out was Holly. She went above and beyond her duties and made my stay extra special with her kindness and care. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel."

"Nice condo, clean. Host was awesome in being flexible about arrival/ departure times. Wish there had been an extra towel but we could wash & we brought our own extra toilet paper (which was needed with only 3 people staying). Location at middle bass is excellent with pretty view of lake and easy to get to PIB by ferry, rent gold cart to see all areas of middle bass, etc. "
