Heard music all night long our first night. Housekeeping made our bed but somehow didn't move a pillow. Took all our towels and didn't replace them. Breakfast was the usual buffet. Someone needs to clean up the bird poop by the front entrance.

I reserved a room for me and my girlfriend at the Port Clinton Holiday Inn for our trip to Put in Bay. When we arrived, we noticed stains on our bed sheets and many spiders inside of the bathroom. We ended up avoiding sitting things on the corner of our sheets and killed the spiders in the bathroom. Throughout the stay there, we both noticed we were feeling off and ended up with headaches. We didn't think anything of it until we were leaving Friday morning. We noticed that there was black mold inside of the air conditioner in our room. Had we have noticed it earlier, we would have requested another room. My girlfriend also woke up with several bug bites on her legs and feet after sleeping there. Other than that, the rest of the stay wasn't too bad. The coffee machines were awesome and the breakfast was delicious. We also enjoyed the outdoor area that's on the back side of the hotel. You have to be careful though when sitting at the tables out there due to the amount of spiders all over the place.

The hotel was very dated and didn’t feel clean. The pool water was almost green and smelled like pee with little to no chlorine smell. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, but that’s about the extent of the good qualities of this hotel! It did the job but we would definitely recommend looking elsewhere first.
