Fairfield by Marriott Port Clinton Waterfront

Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Port Clinton Catawba Island

10/10 Excellent

"Location is great and hotel was nice. We would stay there again."

Anchor Bay Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"This hotel looked so cute from the outside. Inside was very clean. I noticed on at least one review stated their bed was broke. Ours also wasn’t the sturdiest in our first room. But I reached out to service and they switched our room without an issue! So big brownie points for that. I also really appreciated that their TV had the streaming apps. (Hotels normally just have cable 👎👎). The guests before us were even nice enough to stay logged in! Jk! But this hotel gets a 4.5 star rating from me!"

Super 8 by Wyndham Port Clinton

"The bottom of the bathtub with the shower was slippery. You need to put 'skid strips' along the bottom of the tub. Had to be careful not to slip getting in and out."

Stay Inn

"Rooms are clean. Hot shower. Nice clean pool. Comfy bed. Staff are very friendly. Convenient location for the event we were attending. Been staying there for years. Will be r3turning next dummer."
