The Steele Mansion is a really special spot. I love its history and its genesis: it has its roots in the city's foundations and is linked with Lake Erie College across the street. Eventually it got sold, went into rentals, then vacancy. The owners have lovingly restored it from a shell to a gorgeous, pristine and comfortable place to stay.

Staff was nice and the place was clean, but it was an old mansion that had burned down and been reconstructed which gave me a ghost vibe.

Beautiful mansion. Family friendly.

The presidential room was beautiful. The baby slept well in the side room. I would've liked to soak in the big jetted tub forever. The house itself is also beautiful and staff was friendly.

This was a wonderful experience. The mansion has been completely gutted and redone after a fire almost destroyed it. The rooms are all furnished with period furniture and every need is anticipated! This has the advantage of old country charm and upgraded construction. The people who own it and their staff couldn’t be nicer.

Why would u stay at a hotel chain with this option

We were visiting family and could stay at a cookie cutter hotel chain or at the Steele Mansion and the Steele Mansion was even less expensive! This Inn has tons of charm all while providing modern comfort. The included breakfast was good (scrambled eggs, bacon and potatoes as well as cold options like cereal & yogurt). They have plenty of nice spaces for hanging out with family and we ordered carryout for dinner and ate it at the Inn with my family. There was a great bar to get drinks at and games to play while visiting. And the staff was the best. They clearly enjoyed their jobs and were very friendly. We will certainly be back.
