Pros: Very clean. Breakfast bar featured a cool automatic pancake maker that has to be seen to be believed. About 20 miles off the turnpike, in a resort-type area near Lake Erie shore.
Cons: Requested hotel near Fremont exit on turnpike via this booking service and among the listings in Fremont got this one in Port Clinton instead of the one in Fremont. Unfortunately I did not google map this address before booking. Got off at Fremont exit in heavy fog and was told at Fremont Holiday Inn Express that we had to drive 20 more miles to Port Clinton Holiday Inn Express. We had already paid, so we did this, worrying all the way that we would not make it there in the pea soup fog along two lane country roads.
Moral of the story - always check the address on this booking website to make sure the Holiday Inn Express you think you are booking is actually the one closest to you.
Pros: The staff was friendly, accommodating and incredible
Cons: The facilities were a bit "dingy" and dated. It was as if you were stepping into the 1970's. Also, the lighting fixture had bugs in it and they buzzed... always a turn off.
Otherwise a nice place.
