The room smelled musty and felt damp. After a couple hours, clothing and other items we brought with us also felt damp. Room was otherwise clean. We were there during the off-season (as we were told at check-in) so the provided breakfast was very sparse.

Although it’s old, it was very comfortable. The shower was amazing, the breakfast was not. I’d go back if we are in the area again.

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.

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.

This is a place you stay at for night. The price was reasonable, the pool was nice, the grounds were clean. The room smelled damp and could have been a bit cleaner.
