And Im less than 30 minutes to my state and no the restaurants could have stopped in for lunch I took my time getting home was a perfect getaway, to view the solar eclipse April 8th 2024

Arlington Inn, hotel in Port Clinton

This Port Clinton motel offers free Wi-Fi, a private marina with access to Lake Erie, and rooms equipped with a refrigerator. A breakfast bar is also offered each morning.

The location is perfect. It's in a walkable part of town near the lighthouse park to the east and the downtown restaurants to the west. The view across the river to the yacht club is nice. We were in Port Clinton to watch the eclipse and our second floor balcony was the ideal spot, as it faced south. The roof overhang kept us out of the sun except when we chose to put on our protective eyewear and step to the rail from where we had an unobstructed view of the sky for the entirety of the eclipse.

    There is so much to enjoy in Port Clinton. A great little town by the water to stroll thru and have lunch/dinner. Highly recommend the Brickhouse food and service was exceptional! Be sure to try their famous BIG soft pretzel and Lake Erie cocktail!

    We stayed at Port Clinton to go to Put-in-Bay and our hotel was walking distance to the dock as well as stores and restaurants and a park on the waterfront. Overall, we had a lovely stay, though parts of the town have seen better days.

    I was staying in Port Clinton with my family for a nearby soccer tournament. We did not feel comfortable in the area as there was a lot of riff-raff. When I went to my car in the morning, there were 3 men smoking weed and drinking vodka in the parking lot - at 7 am! Next time I will go back to staying closer to Sandusky.

After walking inside and meeting Peggy the desk clerk who was very professional and cared about my family comfortability request. Also, the place welcoming. Peggy, cared about us as quest and what we were looking for in a hotel stay. Oh and the location was on point!! Everything was exceptional and I am glad we found this place.

    We made the reservation online , when we got to the hotel we was informed they would not accept cash ? We even told them we wanted to pu with cash and give them a credit card for hold as a deposit but the lady was snobby as she was training another lady and stated absolutely not , the owner had just made the rule ? So we did not stay and cancelled our reservation, also the lobby stunk of cigarettes smoke . Nasty and degrading

    The location is close to center of Port Clinton without being in a busy street. The room was well kept. Very Clean ! Kudos to the guy that is custodian there. Air conditioner worked well. Shower good water pressure and temperature The cost for 4 nights was economical . Room is basic and served our needs. ( I didn't go on vacation to spend the time in the room so high end was not one of my " must have's")

    Downtown Port Clinton location was great. Walk across the street to the Jet Express terminal meant no driving and no parking issues. Mini ice maker in the room was a great feature! Comfortable bed, great view of the lake and sunrise over the Lake Erie park. Host was easy to talk with via text when needed. A golden nugget that we will use again for future travels!

    Very VERY friendly staff, let us check in late, as we weren't able to get there until 1:00 as my husband and I both work late. But THE VIEW😍😍 Oh my goodness, the view!! It was gorgeous!!!! Right on lake Erie, and you could hear the waves crash. SO wonderful!!!! Very close to the heart of Port Clinton, and the Jet Express!

    They actually did not have the room I had booked on Booking.com. They are under new management and are transitioning. I actually got an upgrade to a King suite. This us a historic old hotel that we always stay at when in Port Clinton. It is near everything. It is clean and comfortable. I highly recommend!!!

    We went up to fish and needed two beds and a bath. The room seemed recently updated and the price was much less than similar ‘fishing’ hotels in Port Clinton.
