Easy to check in late at night, beds are very comfy unlike at some 4-5 star hotels I’ve been at. Breath taking view of the lake as soon as you head to the lobby in the morning. Didn’t try the food but will be sure to next visit.

Nice place but trying to check in was a nightmare. We booked 3 rooms and only one was self-check in but was then given to another guest. After our experience I will not book another stay.

Our stay was amazing. The only downfall was the parking. With both the restaurant and the hotel being attached, as a guest staying at the hotel, we couldn’t find a place to park because of how busy the restaurant got. We had to drive around for a little bit again before coming back because there were no spots available to get to our rooms.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
The decor of this property was very nice - bright hallways, very clean. Kind of Scandinavian decor. Staff was friendly. It was very convenient to the places we wanted to go and is right across the street from Lake Erie. The downside for us is that we are in our 70s the beds were on low platforms which made it harder to get in and out of the bed, and the mattresses were extremely uncomfortable. The bathroom was beautiful, but had no countertop or shelves to put toiletries on. We did not eat at the facility. They only have brunch on weekends, so we went in town to a place called Latitudes for a very nice breakfast. When we asked where a gas station was, no one seemed to know, which we thought was very strange. We had to travel about 7 miles to find one in Port Clinton.

Staff was amazing. Negatives are amenities: bathroom sink ridiculously small and no other mirror to apply makeup etc., and can’t use toilet seat for space as there’s no lid, no coffeemaker, no guide for TV, 2 drinks at the outdoor bar came to $50 with tip, very nice upscale property. I would expect better

We love this property, no key cards (perfect). The location was amazing. The staff was extraordinary. The restaurant’s staff and hotel’s staff was very helpful. The food was good. The bar at the resort was excellent, kid friendly place. We brought outside food and sat by the fire pit, the staff actually brought water, napkins. The only problem we had was on day one where right above our room where some kids running around, we told the staff three times to do something about it but nothing happened. The staff member said they are going to tell those guests (1 AM) and finally the noise ended at around 3 AM.
