Wonderful location right by Lake Erie and right next to Jolly Roger's restaurant that has such good fish dinners. Staff was extremely helpful when we first arrived and found that our booked room was very small. She showed us a couple of other options and hurried to clean the room that we chose. Only critique is that the breakfast buffet was rather sparse. Only fruit was apples. No cocoa, no oatmeal. Not particularly appealing pastries.

Great location and beautiful views of Lake Erie!
This is an older hotel, we had a front lake view suite , the rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The staff was very friendly. The room rate was expensive, you’re paying for the location and view, which was just beautiful.
Phone did not work, remote did not work , bugs were in the jacuzzi, spiders were along door as you walk in the room. Stayed there once before and the room we had then was better than this one. Will not stay again.
This property is by far the worst property I have ever booked while using Expedia. I asked for my money back and to talk to a manager and they said they couldn’t get a hold of one. The hotel room opened multiple times without using the key card dirt underneath the sheets Old food wrappers left in the drawer toilet look like that never been cleaned same as the shower very poor customer service and I believe this hotel should be taken off Expedia site so no one else gets screwed over
The room itself was very tiny. Infract, we had trouble opening the door because the in-room furniture was placed so close to it the door wouldn't open wide enough to gain entry with luggage.
My wife had to squeeze in and move a chair that the door was hitting so we could open it.
The windows were broken and full of insects. The carpet was dirty soiled and should have been replaced long ago. The refrigerator was frosted solid and could only use the bottom section. The bathroom was also tiny. The bathtub was really small. There's no way we could have taken a bath. While adjusting the shower head, it fell off.
The outside premises around the building and back deck was loaded with cigarettes, cups and trash. I had to clear an area for my and my wife to sit free of litter. It was really disgusting.
...................... NEVER AGAIN!!!..........................
I'll stop here because I know nothing is going to change. You got your money. Thanks again for a horrible Labor Day Weekend.
Respectfully Submitted.
I enjoyed my safe the property is right of the lake and had a wonderful sunset. The property is dated and needs to be remodeled and decorated. Other than that it was a nice location to catch a quick nap.
