Exposed wiring in shower.

We were in town to fish at Port Clinton. We stayed at this motel because of the distance and price. The biggest issue was the shower. There is a can light in the shower in the room we stayed in, and it was hanging down and wiring was exposed. The room had a kitchen that was a little dirty. The bathroom was a little dirty.

The property is dated, however, the room was sooooo clean we could have ate off the floor. I really appreciated that! The owners are new, and very nice. The only complaint I have is that she charged me $35.00 for my service dog. NOT an emotional support animal. A TRAINED SERVICE DOG. Im terminally ill, and this working animal goes with me everywhere! I have identification as well as handicapped permanent plates on my vehicle. Even so, she charged me $35. The owner obviously has no idea about ADA regulations. If I was a different kind of person, they would have contacted a lawyer and caused a lot of heartache for these owners. Lucky for them, I'm not that kind of person. I hope they see this review and do the research. Google is good for reading the regulations regarding service animals. Other than that situation, I would stay there again. But I won't because I'm not going to pay for my service dog. My dog detects low blood sugar and seizures. She is a life saver, literally!

Room 114 was clean. The A/C worked efficiently. Used the fridge/freezer for the food I had brought along. Wi-Fi worked well; password required. Bathroom was clean but the paint was peeling. Older building that has had some renovations done.

I've stayed here before about 2 years ago and it was fine. The room was fine this time but the shower was gross so I didn't use it, used wet wipes that I had instead to clean up. Would have been nice to use the shower as I was at the races that day. Worst part was check in. I could not understand a single word the foreign speaking guy was trying to say through the thick panel of glass. Then he tried to keep my credit card. When I asked for it back he started making a copy of it and writing things down, like he was copying security code or something. He had already run my card it it was approved and I had a receipt so there was NO legitimate reason to be doing this. So I had to say really loud that I was not comfortable with it, then he wanted my driver's license again, and I repeated really loud I was not comfortable with this. Finally got my card back but now have to consider getting a new one.

The authentic mid century modern furniture and decor was enjoyable. The parking was easy. Room was clean enough with no bugs or anything. Save your receipt because they said they can't provide duplicates. Bedding was comfortable. In room coffee was fine. I thought it was expensive for what you get but this is considered in the Cedar Point area. Was the most affordable in the area. I found it restful.
