Even though this building was built in 1896, it has been remodeled but has kept it's charm. The lobby is a very pleasant first impression of this hotel. Our room, which had one queen bed in it, was immaculate. Even though it was a small room, it was charming. It had a flat screen TV and a chair and a... More

The staff here took such good care of us. I had an unfortunate experience on the lake fishing, so sick I thought I could die. The staff let us check out a little later so I would have time to recover before our car trip home. We just can't tell you how much it means when you feel miserable to... More

This is a historic building in a nice little town. It may have been around a while but it has all the creature comforts you would expect from a class A hotel. The staff is so nice. This is how a hotel should be run!

Located on what must have once passed for Point Clinton's 'main street', this vintage 1886 hotel is a pleasant change from die-casted hotels and motels further out of town. The hotel is in the heart of the action near the lake and marina The rooms seemed like something out of the 1950's though everything worked and was in good repair.... More

Let's not kid ourselves - this is not a 4-star fancy hotel. But the staff were so accomodating; a friend and I had a late dessert when no one else was in the dining room and they served us graciously. My room was smaller than in other hotels, but there wasn't anything I was missing; it was just cozy. The... More

>The building itself is a clean and comfortable place, quite old (130 years if I remember correctly) and has been nicely renovated over time. My Queen room on the third floor was a tad small, but a tall ceiling and two windows made it nicer than most other hotels. >The bed was simply terrific for a hotel of this price... More

A nice place to stay. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. If I ever come back to Port Clinton, I would stay here again. Ferry service is across the street. Fine dining in the hotel plus casual restaurants/bars near by. Limited shopping area.

Guess I was expecting much more by the other reviews. This is an old building, that sits on a street corner in town. Across the street is Fisherman's Wharf, which is just a side street and a boat dock. The room overall was clean. The bathroom was clean. The television is nice size and mounted on the wall. Room contained... More

We stayed three nights at Island House Hotel in April, 2013 and had a great time. I booked the apartment suite, which had a fulll kitchen and tons of space for us to spread out. The staff were all very friendly and the room was kept very clean during our stay. The beds and couch were very comfy. The bathroom... More

Our room we spacious and the king bed was super comfortable with attractive bedding. We went our to eat later that night... More
