Okay hotel stay

The hotel room was fine. Beds were comfy. Continental breakfast was just okay. No tissues in the room. Could have used a better cleaning carpeting and walls. Was sufficient for a two-night stay.

The staff who checked us in was very kind, despite us coming in after official hours, at midnight. The property was newly painted on the exterior. The interior was very clean, but dated, although adequately furnished with microwave and a smaller smart TV. The pillows were high quality and the sheets pressed and had a nice clean scent. The beds were full rather than queen size, but again adequate. The bathroom tilework had some minor cracking and the vanity was dated, however all clean. The breakfast was boiled eggs, cereal, milk, toast, jelly, doughnuts, packaged fruit cup, fresh bananas, orange drink, coffee. The proximity to the Jet Express dock was great. For the price and cleanliness, I would come again and recommend. It is certainly adequate, although by no means modern or luxurious.

Easy check in. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Pool was clean. For the price this was a great deal. Only complaint was there was coffee grounds still in the coffee pot and no coffee was in the room, found a couple hairs in front of the tub as well.

Not so great

If you suffer with arachnophobia this isn't the place for you. When I turned down the bedsheets to get in a huge black spider the size of a quarter scrambled across the bed. The decor was old and the carpet questionable. Free breakfast included donuts, cereal and bananas, juice and coffee.

The staff was very nice and the pool was clean. The rooms are outdated and kind of dingy, but not dirty. Did not like the joining door to the next room that would not lock. The room does not have a coffee maker, but there is a "breakfast" area that had beverages, cereal, donuts, and toast. Overall nice stay, it was a convenient and quiet location.

I chose Stay Inn because it was the most affordable option in the Port Clinton/Catawba Island area. The bed was more than adequate, I slept good. The restroom is a little small. The walls seem thin, I could hear people on either side. But for $75 on a weekend in the summer in Port Clinton, I was more than happy with my choice.

The signage in front of the building set the pace for the experience, it's faded and gives the impression of either a neglected property, or lack of resources to maintain the property. The sign said renovated, but honestly the before pictures looked better. The stay wasn't the worst I've had, but the price for the condition of the room was a bit much for me. Also didn't realize this prior, but a quick map search shows it's close proximity to a small airport, and yes that means it's directly in the flight path. The planes didn't have an impact on us as we only slept in the room and didn't notice them later at night, but while unloading our vehicle it was definitely auditory.
