What guests think
Across reviews of Stay Inn, travelers describe a basic, budget motel with friendly staff, a clean outdoor pool, and plentiful parking, but they also note dated rooms, inconsistent upkeep, and a very minimal or sometimes unavailable breakfast, especially off-season.
Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with many clean rooms reported alongside recurring complaints of musty odors, dampness, mold, insects, and patchy maintenance. Rooms are generally dated and vary in comfort and size; some guests mention thin walls or noise, while others found beds comfortable and air conditioning effective. The location is convenient for Port Clinton, Lake Erie access, and local amenities, though signage and exterior lighting can be hard to spot at night. Expect a simple, no-frills stay at a value-focused property.
