When looking for a place to stay while we visited Cedar Point, there were a lot of expensive places…read morethat didn't fit our budget. Thankfully we found the Maples! It's only slightly further out from the theme park than other hotels and infinitely worth the price reduction. The fancy old school neon sign out front is a helpful waypoint when you're coming back after dark (no missing your turn!). This isn't a chain location; it's independently owned and operated by a swell fella named Steve. Steve was very friendly and happy to have us for three nights. Each morning we were able to go over to the "office" (the back of his home) and snag free coffee, donuts, fruit, and granola bars (no COVID excuses!). He said hi to us or waved whenever he saw us enter or leave the property. And what a gorgeous piece of property it is! We both really enjoyed the more "homey" feel to this over the traditional parking lot + multifloor hotel. The rooms are small and honestly reminded me of my grandma's old house, which is probably accurate because this place was probably built around the 1950's. You can see it in the tile bathrooms and fixtures. That said, it is on the older side so there are some imperfections here and there if you look close. Some rusty grout, some warped wood, that kind of thing. Sure, it'd be nice if some renovations were done. But again, we spent the majority of our time riding roller coasters, not relaxing in our room so we really weren't seeking a "resort" experience. It all depends on what you're looking for in a stay. There is a pool which we unfortunately never got the time to utilize, but it looked really nice and the hours are generous. The ice machine worked really well so we were never without cold water to drink. The only thing that was missing that would've been really nice to have was a mini fridge/microwave so we could have some meals without going out. Each room also comes with a fold-out little bed so you can sleep an additional person or child. I actually ended up using it because it was softer than the full-sized bed. Steve was generous in supplying additional soap bars/shampoo during our multi day stay. The TV worked well and had all the standard channels. The wi-fi worked great for all my needs! A/C was functional and not too loud. Do note that this place is right next to the railroad tracks and trains will go by throughout the day/evening. We noticed the busiest time seemed to be 7am. The trains always blow their whistle while going by and it is quite loud.

This place is a VIBE and has a family business for 100 years! Not going to lie, the photos almost…read morethrew me off and we almost didn't stay here. However, when a business is open for 100 years, you have to give it a shot! First, I highly recommend that the owners hire a social media manager and post pictures that do this place justice. The grounds are super cute and the sign offers a great photo op! Walking into the room brought an enormous rush of nostalgia. It was cool to be able to stay in a place that my grandparents would have stopped at in their younger years. Most importantly, the rooms and bathrooms were super clean!! The room comes with a modern television and a small refrigerator. The property owners are very personable and, as part of your room fee, they provide freshly made local donuts each morning. The donuts are worth the stay alone. In this day and age, we were surprised to be able to find such a cool Experience for such little cost. Easy parking, beautiful pool (we didn't use it but it looked nice), amazing customer service. Without hesitation, we will stay here whenever we are back in town. Maples Motel is a historic treasure and I highly recommend staying here.

Enjoyable and relaxing. Quiet atmosphere but filled with things to do! Lakeside is very enjoyable…read morein the summer and wonderful place to take a deep breath. Costs $20.00 per adult person and $5.00 for parking. Lakeside community is beautiful and quaint. Step back to the 1950s and enjoy life with swimming, shuffleboard, horseshoes, sailing, sand volleyball, basketball, nightly music, shopping, and dining. Dry community so no alcohol. We didn't see many people of various ethnicities and races other than white. Enjoyed walking on docks, visiting shops, shuffle board, Hawaiian ices, lunch at The Hotel, and walking all around. Wonderful day!

I've been to Lakeside twice now and each time, I'm reminded how blissfully peaceful it is. The dock…read moreis the perfect place to watch the sunset and the walk along the lake is beautiful, showing off the houses, the flowers, and the balanced stones. The experience is one that I've come to cherish. However, there are several drawbacks I would 100% recommend renting a cottage instead of staying at Hotel Lakeside (which is the reason for such the mediocre review). The rooms, while quaint, were very dirty in the corners and I wouldn't recommend looking under the bed unless you're a dust bunny aficionado. We were told that we were going to get a kitchenette which we did not receive (and apparently there isn't one in the entire hotel). My room was nice enough (besides for the dust), but my grandparents' room's air conditioning was not working and the room had a musty odor. Thankfully they were able to get the bridal suite on the second floor but even then, the bathroom was so small we were worried they would fall and hurt themselves. In terms of food, you don't really have many options. Besides for the hotel's restaurant, there are some coffee shops that aren't open for dinner, sloopy's and the New Mexican restaurant. The hotel's food is delicious but because there are only a few items on the menu, they can get old rather quickly. Sloopy's is nice for a few meals but eating that much unhealthy food will not make your stomach very happy. This is the other reason I recommend getting a cottage. Just so you could make your own home cooked meals instead of relying on eating out. Lastly, the porch. This is the most redeeming quality to the hotel. Looking out over the lake in the covered porch with everyone quietly reading or on their phones is incredibly peaceful and rejuvenating. In the end, I would recommend coming to Lakeside 100%. However, stay at the hotel at your own risk and definitely not for more than four days.

We passed this beautiful B&B and decided to stop to get information for a future stay. We parked…read morethe car, was walking up to the front and an extremely rude, crazy looking woman came running out of the front door asking us what we wanted. My husband stated that we were interested in a future stay and needed a brochure. She said," wait out here I'll be right back". A few minutes later she appeared with a business card asking if we were going to stay this year or next?!! Wtf?! She also told us not to park where we did, it was a private driveway. Seriously? How would you know that? There were NO signs pertaining to this. It was a driveway made for 6 cars! First impressions are very important and this place wasn't warm, inviting or friendly. We would NEVER stay in a place like this!!! Seriously the worst experience ever. I wish we could give this place a negative star!

My mom and I stayed in one of the cabins for a week and enjoyed it very much. The cabin is small…read morebut seemed to have everything we needed. I think it was thoughtfully updated and put together with the only down side being the small shower. It has electric outlets right where you need them, all the kitchen tools and items we needed, the AC and ceiling fans kept it nice and cool on one of the hottest weeks of the year, the screened in porch offered a great place to read and watch the sunsets, the beds were comfortable and the towels were nice and fluffy. Jeff and Judy were great hosts, offering right on point ideas for places to eat and visit. The location is great, right across the street from the lake so great views and only a few minutes from all the cool places to go.

Super close to the Marblehead Lighthouse. They have many outdoor sitting and eating areas and a fire pit for your use. We walked over to the water and found lots of fossils embedded in the limestone which was so fun. Did have a nasty neighbor, Mr. Dorko, (I identified him through social media and property tax info) come over and yell at us about property lines while my daughter was playing in the water. He also used a bright spotlight to shine on my adult daughter while she was sitting by the water around dusk on another evening. Other than the a**hole neighbor, very highly recommended! We'll definitely be back!

He gets five stars for hospitality, however this review is about the inn overall. It is a great place if you want to be conveniently located within walking distance to the Jet Express (which takes you to Put in Bay) and downtown Port Clinton and have access to great fishing. However if you are a business traveler or someone who is looking for peace and quiet, consider other inns as this one is located off a busy street that is heavily patrolled by cops. Additionally, wifi access is limited to non existent. But the breakfast is delish and rooms are clean. It's reasonably priced as well.

I am a mature 51 year old adult all excited to start a vacation. I was not drinking! Other friends staying at this place were treated the same. i paid this man over $800 for 3 nights and he clearly doesn't appreciate my business. I was treated like a child from the start of the trip. All he did is threaten to evict us if we were loud and would take my golf cart if he found it unlocked. Umm a threat to steal the cart that I paid to rent and signed a rental agreement! So Bungalow Joe, I think that would be theft on your part! I have insurance!! DON'T STAY Here is you want to be treated like a child.

Carlotta does a fabulous job of keeping everything sparkling. *Lots of bed/rooming options - a lot of different configurations of beds in different rooms. All types of groups can be accommodated *Historic Home - this house has been through generations of families on the island and has a rich history *A/C in rooms - each room has its own window unit and they worked well. The room was a very cool comfortable temperature fairly quickly CONS: *Host...an out and out liar. We caught him in several lies. He upped the price significantly from what was advertised. He also said that rooms were reserved when they were definitely not. He ignored our reservations and was completely rude. He claimed that there would be a "really big special discount" HA! Nothin *No A/C on the main rooms. Not a huge deal as we spent our time in our rooms. If you have a large group that wants to hang out in this house, it's something to consider. *HARD BED...I mean like, sleeping on boards. Both hubby and I woke up sore with our necks in pain. (We were in the wicker room). My parents in the master suite had a nice bed with a huge TV. Overall, the whole family agreed, we don't think Would stay here again. For the Price, I think you could find something same or better. There wasn't any kind of view (but there was a super cute dog named Lester who will fetch any sticks you throw)
