Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Port Clinton, OH

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable the pool was small. If you have any hip problems the toilet is real short so I went to the one outside the pool when I could we was real close to it. They offered to move us to a handicap room but did not want to move. The price was great. Lot of things to do in that aria."
