EXTREMELY Pricey for a tiny, no frills room with the smallest bathroom I've ever tried to shower, etc. in! That said, the property staff was VERY nice and Welcoming. She really made it easier for me to overlook the negative for the one night we stayed.

Quaint, Simple, Efficient
This quaint motel right on the bay was just what I expected. Efficient. Had all we needed for our overnight stay. We loved the view of the bay. Jonathan recommended Rayz on the Bay for dinner. Within walking distance we enjoyed taking in all this quiet beautiful area has to offer. This motel is not a new and spacious place. But if you’re looking to enjoy the Bay and step back in time to simplicity, this place is for you! We would stay again!

We stayed here a couple years ago. Clean simple room. Great person at desk. This time the room smelled funky and it looks like the property isn’t as well maintained. The guy at the desk wasn’t impressive when we checked in. We showed up at scheduled time of check in to him telling me it could be an hour until room is ready. I pushed back and he changed it to ready in 20 minutes. Not a terrible stay, but much better a years ago. Better cleanliness in the past.

Perfect little stay out of the limelight
This is a quiet little off the beaten path place to stay. If you are high maintenance, this place is not for you. But if you appreciate the finer things in life, this inn is awesome. The service is great, owner is suoer sweet. Communication was great! Right across from Sandusky Bay, evening fire pit and tiki torch area. Really a cute place! I would absolutely stay here again!

Great place -- clean, comfortable, and quiet
This is a great place on Lake Erie. It's comfortable, clean and quiet. The owner was very friendly and accommodating -- she was there when we needed her but not intrusive. The room was recently remodeled, everything in perfect order and thoughtfully designed and laid out. Generous treats and coffee, even treats for the pups. Will definitely stay here again!
