“It was fine. 6 out of 10.”

In the 45 photos provided on Booking.com for Arlington Inn, I did not see one bathroom photo. And the photos marked "Courtyard view" should be relabeled as "parking lot" views. I didn't have high expectations, but the bathroom was super tiny - as in not fit for larger people. If you don't travel a lot and have experience with how the hotel describes things versus what you actually get - or the visitor's descriptions of the same features, then you can't have high expectations. The single king bed was mostly comfortable and they give you 4 pillows, which is really nice. The room served its purpose - allowing for sleeping and showering. We didn't spend too much time in the room anyway. The location is fantastic for Jet Express access and restaurants and bars being within walking distance. Free breakfast was pre-packaged muffins and pastries, which are totally fine if you don't expect more. Would I choose again - maybe not. But I won't spend more to go elsewhere - again we didn't come to Port Clinton to stay in the room.

“No frills hotel with water view.”

The view with the river was awesome and the patio by the river was an added bonus. My son woke up and went fishing first thing around the bend. My daughters and I went down the block and heard live music, played corn hole, all in the street.
