Taking a 3-day class at the local community college and didn't want to commute from home. Stayed here. Nice folks. The room I had even had a parking garage attached. I believe all of the units did. It was the least expensive and everything went smooth the entire 3 days.

Exposed wiring in shower.

We were in town to fish at Port Clinton. We stayed at this motel because of the distance and price. The biggest issue was the shower. There is a can light in the shower in the room we stayed in, and it was hanging down and wiring was exposed. The room had a kitchen that was a little dirty. The bathroom was a little dirty.

The property is dated, however, the room was sooooo clean we could have ate off the floor. I really appreciated that! The owners are new, and very nice. The only complaint I have is that she charged me $35.00 for my service dog. NOT an emotional support animal. A TRAINED SERVICE DOG. Im terminally ill, and this working animal goes with me everywhere! I have identification as well as handicapped permanent plates on my vehicle. Even so, she charged me $35. The owner obviously has no idea about ADA regulations. If I was a different kind of person, they would have contacted a lawyer and caused a lot of heartache for these owners. Lucky for them, I'm not that kind of person. I hope they see this review and do the research. Google is good for reading the regulations regarding service animals. Other than that situation, I would stay there again. But I won't because I'm not going to pay for my service dog. My dog detects low blood sugar and seizures. She is a life saver, literally!
