This hotel was a welcome change from the previous hotels we stayed in on our Ohio exploration trip The staff was super friendly and helpful, rooms were spacious and comfortable, very clean (not perfect, but it’s not brand new or a 4 star+ hotel, I didn’t expect perfection) and location was JUST what we needed The end of the main street in a quaint coastal town with very lovely nearby walking paths, especially out to the lighthouse with the bird sanctuary and fish jumping out of the water in the river

We took an evening stroll with our baby and it was super relaxing! Actually wished we had stayed near the hotel and walked around rather than pay for the Kelley’s Island Ferry where we saw nothing really of note Biggest downside was noise from other guests; since it’s so close to Cedar Point there were a lot of teenagers slamming doors and running from room to room late in the evening Breakfast was also tired standard hotel powdered eggs, sausage, yogurts, toast, cereal, and waffle mix was too thick and tasted like a biscuit mix or something no sweetness but too salty Overall, we hope to go back and stay longer! Please don’t increase the price before we can return 🙏!

Was visiting the Huron Pier and decided to walk in to inquire about a room 10 minutes later, we’re in the room Thanks to the kind staff! Jackie in particular who was cordial and helpful getting us checked in

There was a kids baseball tournament that weekend and the hotel was crawling with kids A little chaotic, but the kids were fun and well behaved! We fished in the river just outside our room It got quiet at 10p like it is supposed to In the morning, the breakfast was perfect! THANK YOU

Traci Sasha

Great location right other water pier is right there to fish off of can walk out to see lighthouse

Benches so can watch the sunset Rooms are clean smoke free got a noise complaint when we were sleeping but other then that was nice Beds are doubles so not comfiest but hey have roll away beds for an extra 24 bucks a night

We stayed the weekend here for my son’s birthday during Easter weekend The kids had a blast The room itself was comfortable and clean

The check in process was easy and didn’t take as long at all It was great that we were able to enter the water park and enjoy ourselves until the room was ready We ordered the birthday package add-on which was a nice touch as it made our son smile when he entered the room We would definitely return for a quick weekend getaway

Shaylynn Rush

I cannot say enough good things about this place! We definitely got our money’s worth! It is entirely kid-centered with so many FREE events happening while you’re there! Another fun side to it was we didn’t check in until 4 pm, but we could access the water park at 1 pm And when we checked out at 11 am, we were allowed to stay all day!My kids laughed and smiled and wore themselves outMy only complaint (if it’s even really a complaint) is that their arcade is a money pit

Yeah, usually arcades are, but in order to have a semi-decent time at the arcade, you will shell out a lot of money $25 got us 92 wolf paws and just about every machine was 8-10 paws And all but one claw machine did not have a claw that was sturdy enough to even attempt to grab whatever it wasBut past that I will 100% be going back!!! I cannot recommend this place enough!

Ashley Marie

Stayed 4 nights…overall a good experience Came across an issue with our room and the manager Matt handled it very professionally and compensated us accordingly Also received a follow up call from Molly who made sure all was good and If we had any questions

Kids loved the room, was clean Only issue was microwave didn’t work properly Water park was fun and the food we ordered from the inside restaurants was good Next time we might try the traverse city location and see how that compares Thanks so much!

Curiously quaint place, a bit like going back to 1965 But clean, shower decent, tiny beach nice

And friendly people with a nice dog Flowers very pretty outside of cottages owner wonderfully helpful when I left my favorite hat behind and I had a great swim in Lake Erie with An amazing sunset viewed from their quiet private beach

Terah Coleman

If you are looking for a reasonable place to stay near Lake Erie, this place is great!! The owners treat you like family and acknowledge you by name when they see you The beach is fabulous and private! I had all of my children here and I was able to set them free on the beach without any worries They get up here each morning and clean the grounds, wipe down every flower planter and landscaping

The housekeeping came by first thing and exchanged dirty towels and rags for new ones without a request I would love coming back to this place and recommend them to anyone compared to any of the places we looked at within a mile of here

Kathryn Hamm

My family stayed at Lakeland Lodges for an overnight on an extended road trip The owners were incredibly personable, flexible and welcoming and our small cabin was quaint and rustic, but also clean and complete with all of the basics (including a small coffee maker, mini-fridge, hairdryer, and shampoo) We a great time playing on the private beach and enjoying the community lawn and spent several hours sitting at the tables outside of our small cottage

We also had a fabulous time wandering around Vermilion This is a great stop if you are just passing through or want to stay for a few days with some close friends or family We’ll definitely return the next time we come through town!

We were excited to stay here after the renovations Rooms and lobby are very nice, but they just weren’t quite ready for guests which very much detracted from the stay Pros: beds and pillows were quite comfortable

All the staff we encountered were quite nice Drinks were cold and well made Cons: we were unable to get any lunch or dinner at the resort The Mulligan pub is opened, but the cooks called in while we were there Elevator in our building was down so I had to lug all our luggage up the stairs Ice machine also not yet operating Pools are nice, but we were kicked out after about 15 minutes because the pH was off and they had to adjustIn short, I’d likely give it a second chance but not this close to reopen Not worth the price without the amenities

Sandra Schrom

Resort is a nice change of pace from our normal Cedar Point hotel stays The location was great (far enough away from CP for relaxation, but yet close enough to still go) The resort was very nice with an upscale feel

Common areas were updated and very nice! Enjoyed the classy/laid back music played by the live band in the evening Also plenty to do outside with nature trail walks, beach, corn hole and other outdoor games as well Main negative was the outdoor pool was down for our entire stay In all, had a great stay and will definitely go back!

Anna Jolliff

My wife and I stayed here for three nights for our cedar point honeymoon We loved it They had everything we needed at check in for our cedar point visits (parking, early entry, etc)

Unlike what was mentioned in previous reviews, the hotel did not seem understaffed at all, and the pool was open (and great!) The fitness center has all the basics for a strength or cardio workout The breakfast buffet is impressive The one downside is that the rooms do not have coffee makers, but we saw this ahead of time in reviews so we brought our own coffee (Starbucks Via instant coffee packets Does not taste like instant coffee!) We are a gay couple and felt completely welcome here

Place is clean, warm outdoor pool,staff excellent, pets welcomeNot baby friendlyHard floors

No room for baby to crawl or walk around Barely room for a playpenAwesome for pets lots of room to run Had a good variety for breakfastMaking your own waffles was cool

Suma

Reasonably priced rooms, super friendly and helpful staff (and I interacted with multiple people), and the cleanest room I’ve had since COVID started It’s weird how during a time when everything is supposed to be cleaned more, hotel rooms in general have been really hit and miss Not here! I was very comfortable for my overnight stay

Also, it’s brilliant to text someone as they are getting into their room to see if they need anything I didn’t need anything but I really appreciated that

M G

The check in process was very quick and efficient Keri was fantastic

So very friendly and helpfulOn our first night, there was a fire alarm that went off early in the morning I would like to say that this was extremely well handled Nobody wants to be woken up this way, but these things happen I was really impressed on how the night time lady took control and made sure everyone was safe Turns out this was not a false alarm, however thankfully there was no actual fire Thank you you for dealing with your guests safety in a very professional and organized manner!Breakfast was very good The eggs were hot and fresh And very tastyThe pool was large, warm and clean (outdoor)Overall a great stay Will definitely come back!

Absolutely phenomenal service, from the gentleman at the front desk, the ladies that clean the rooms and the ladies that provided breakfast, all these wonderful people cared to make our experience the absolute best it could be The rooms were very clean, the food at breakfast was delicious I highly recommend and will definitely stay again without question

Meg Jo

The hotel is outdated There is a barely working elevator The complimentary breakfast was actually better than most! And the beds were comfortable

The lighting in the hotel was very dim and grim feeling though There is an indoor pool Just not worth the amount they charge a night with so many nice updated hotels charging the same all around

emily baron

Art, the property manager was extremely welcoming when we arrived We booked our room that morning after checking out of another hotel There weren’t any rooms available yet and he offered to text us when a room was ready

The housekeeping staff went above and beyond to help us during our stay and the mor ing breakfast crew was so pleasant and on top of their job, especially with all of the hungry baseball players We will now only stay at Hampton inn when we travel

Bernie, Judy, and the Angel are the bee’s knees! We felt so pampered in their beautiful home with delicious breakfasts freshly made each morning Bernie went out of his way when we arrived after midnight to be let in, despite the time Judy had so many interesting stories (you too, Bernie!), and made us feel very relaxed

Our room was beautifully decorated, quaint, and beyond comfortable We appreciate them opening their doors to us and hope to be back soon!

Cindy Fowler

Angel Welcome Bed & Breakfast went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable Bernie and Judy are amazing people and welcomed us with open arms Judy is a wonderful cook and everything that we had for breakfast was beyond delicious

We ended up at this hotel because we found bed bugs at our original hotel at 11pm and this was the only one with good reviews that still had rooms left Nathan at the front desk was wonderful He was very kind and empathetic, as well as energetic for it being after midnight

The beds were comfortable and the room was very clean Since it was so late we didn’t get to use most amenities like the pool so I can’t speak on that The breakfast was good, but very crowded Staff had trouble keeping up with refilling the stations due to so many people The price was high, but it was worth it to have a clean, comfortable place to stay with no bed bugs We would stay here again

Debbie Derrenberger

Unfortunately we didnt make it through our first night because of a family emergency, but the check in/check out was easy and Alyssa & Michelle were awesome! Thank you also for recognizing our Anniversary with a card and some snacks, something no other hotel has ever done for us!! Our room was very clean and smelled great Plenty of towels and bed was comfy Looking forward to making a return visit

We stayed at this hotel because of the star rating I wish I would have read the reviews instead Our room wasn’t very clean and the toilet seat was loose

There was no bar of soap, only pump containers that were less than half full for a family of 4 One of the queen beds was broken and wobbly Only 1 small trash can in the bathroom, none in the room itself We couldn’t find any ice machines on any floor Pool was tiny and looked cloudy The only plus is that it is close to Cedar Point The breakfast was good except there was no orange juice

Katherine Ott

Originally booked our stay at another hotel that ended up being filthy! After lots of stress and some tears, I found this hotel had an available room last minute, and I’m so thankful it did! Ended up being much closer to cedar point than our original booking, and the hotel itself was much, much nicer After explaining our headache to the manager, I believe named Todd, he kindly gave us a room with a bay view! Amazing customer service from him, and from his staff that we interacted with Anything we needed was quickly provided upon request, no issues with our room whatsoever

Large breakfast with plenty of options Next door is an awesome and unique restaurant and game lounge as well

George Terplan

My stay here was good overall I am not sure why, but I never had any room service all week other than the one day I requested to have it done The breakfast service was standard for any HI Exp, but they don’t have any orange juice here

My room was great overall and I slept comfortably in the bed and lastly the front desk staff was very friendly and time I needed something

We were blown away on how massive this place was! My kids had a lot of fun The wave pool was one of the favorites! We were lucky enough to rent a cabana for one of our days and it was really worth it We spent most of our day at the pool and it was nice to have a place to rest and take a break in a semi-private area

The restaurants were great as well! The Zoo was adorable! My kids LOVED feeding the animals We bought the family sized bucket and it was really worth the money We had more than enough for the 4 of us to use

dxrkcutz

Ive gone many times and the only thing i dont like is the fact that all the likes are 100 miles long But i can’t blame them The rides are so fun and there is a great selection of kid friendly rides

And the lifeguards are very nice And the suits are so huge My mom took 10 girls and 2 adults on a trip for my sisters birthday and we were able to fit in the suit very comfortably Overall a wonderful vacation spot

Nikki Trusty

Our bathroom light took forever to come on, our tv didn’t work, our shower had no pressure and the cap was off of it at the wall, and our window leaked We also had to ask for blankets Our second night out of 4 we had people in our hallway at 2:30 am yelling waking everyone up

We called and asked them to come take care of it We ended up having to call a second time and they finally came and removed several people who were not staying there Then came directly to our door and accused us of telling the desk we would take care of it ourselves( literally would have been 5 of us against like 30 people) The whole point in calling was to let them take care of it But I guess when you try and be a good person they frown upon that Water park was nice! Staff for most part were very nice Wouldn’t recommend staying maybe just visiting the water park I won’t ever go back I’ll spend my money elsewhere
