Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Stes Port Clinton-Catawba Island by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel was pretty nice, it could have been a little bit cleaner and some things needed attention. One of the windows near the hot tub had the screen just hanging half way off. No towels in the pool area, had to go ask for some. Our first morning, there was an issue with breakfast. The service was so slow, the hot food was empty, all the juice was empty except one, not much choices for bread, no cinnamon rolls. My husband had to go to the front desk to let them know everyone was just waiting for food. A manager did come and help and got more food out. The pancake maker was not working that morning either. The next morning was better. Overall we had a nice stay."

Little Ted's Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"After reading multiple mixed reviews about this property I was anxious. We rented three cottages and couldn’t be more pleased. We loved the location and ample parking for vehicles and boat. The pool and campfire rings were perfect. Very comfortable. We will reserve these cottages again!"
