We loved the amazing breakfasts by Sandy (we had breakfast inside one day and then out on the gorgeous patio by the water the next morning) and Bart handed us delicious Mint Juleps to help celebrate the Derby. Throughout the day, we took advantage of the plethora of great spots to sit and take in the gorgeous view. Bart and Sandy are hilariously sweet and a tremendous joy to be around. Absolutely recommend a stay - we know we will be back!

When looking for a place to stay while we visited Cedar Point, there were a lot of expensive places…read morethat didn't fit our budget. Thankfully we found the Maples! It's only slightly further out from the theme park than other hotels and infinitely worth the price reduction. The fancy old school neon sign out front is a helpful waypoint when you're coming back after dark (no missing your turn!). This isn't a chain location; it's independently owned and operated by a swell fella named Steve. Steve was very friendly and happy to have us for three nights. Each morning we were able to go over to the "office" (the back of his home) and snag free coffee, donuts, fruit, and granola bars (no COVID excuses!). He said hi to us or waved whenever he saw us enter or leave the property. And what a gorgeous piece of property it is! We both really enjoyed the more "homey" feel to this over the traditional parking lot + multifloor hotel. The rooms are small and honestly reminded me of my grandma's old house, which is probably accurate because this place was probably built around the 1950's. You can see it in the tile bathrooms and fixtures. That said, it is on the older side so there are some imperfections here and there if you look close. Some rusty grout, some warped wood, that kind of thing. Sure, it'd be nice if some renovations were done. But again, we spent the majority of our time riding roller coasters, not relaxing in our room so we really weren't seeking a "resort" experience. It all depends on what you're looking for in a stay. There is a pool which we unfortunately never got the time to utilize, but it looked really nice and the hours are generous. The ice machine worked really well so we were never without cold water to drink. The only thing that was missing that would've been really nice to have was a mini fridge/microwave so we could have some meals without going out. Each room also comes with a fold-out little bed so you can sleep an additional person or child. I actually ended up using it because it was softer than the full-sized bed. Steve was generous in supplying additional soap bars/shampoo during our multi day stay. The TV worked well and had all the standard channels. The wi-fi worked great for all my needs! A/C was functional and not too loud. Do note that this place is right next to the railroad tracks and trains will go by throughout the day/evening. We noticed the busiest time seemed to be 7am. The trains always blow their whistle while going by and it is quite loud.

This place is a VIBE and has a family business for 100 years! Not going to lie, the photos almost…read morethrew me off and we almost didn't stay here. However, when a business is open for 100 years, you have to give it a shot! First, I highly recommend that the owners hire a social media manager and post pictures that do this place justice. The grounds are super cute and the sign offers a great photo op! Walking into the room brought an enormous rush of nostalgia. It was cool to be able to stay in a place that my grandparents would have stopped at in their younger years. Most importantly, the rooms and bathrooms were super clean!! The room comes with a modern television and a small refrigerator. The property owners are very personable and, as part of your room fee, they provide freshly made local donuts each morning. The donuts are worth the stay alone. In this day and age, we were surprised to be able to find such a cool Experience for such little cost. Easy parking, beautiful pool (we didn't use it but it looked nice), amazing customer service. Without hesitation, we will stay here whenever we are back in town. Maples Motel is a historic treasure and I highly recommend staying here.

The room was bigger than I thought, with a sitting area and a lake house / beach decor. The owner's Paul and Emily are so welcoming and very outgoing people. This place is walking distance to everything on the island. The location is perfect. Now, my favorite part of my stay here was the Breakfast. It was amazing and included in your stay. The owner Paul is the chef and he is creatively talented with the breakfast options. They offer an extra ordinary continental breakfast, regular breakfast items with a upscale added version. You can also order from Paul's special menu. I had a Cast iron blueberry dutch baby which was delicious. My husband had the Chilaqueles, which he has had in Mexico and said Paul did it exceptionally well. I would suggest when getting breakfast to eat it outside on their covered porch and people watch. Looking forward to my next stay here.

He gets five stars for hospitality, however this review is about the inn overall. It is a great place if you want to be conveniently located within walking distance to the Jet Express (which takes you to Put in Bay) and downtown Port Clinton and have access to great fishing. However if you are a business traveler or someone who is looking for peace and quiet, consider other inns as this one is located off a busy street that is heavily patrolled by cops. Additionally, wifi access is limited to non existent. But the breakfast is delish and rooms are clean. It's reasonably priced as well.

Carlotta does a fabulous job of keeping everything sparkling. *Lots of bed/rooming options - a lot of different configurations of beds in different rooms. All types of groups can be accommodated *Historic Home - this house has been through generations of families on the island and has a rich history *A/C in rooms - each room has its own window unit and they worked well. The room was a very cool comfortable temperature fairly quickly CONS: *Host...an out and out liar. We caught him in several lies. He upped the price significantly from what was advertised. He also said that rooms were reserved when they were definitely not. He ignored our reservations and was completely rude. He claimed that there would be a "really big special discount" HA! Nothin *No A/C on the main rooms. Not a huge deal as we spent our time in our rooms. If you have a large group that wants to hang out in this house, it's something to consider. *HARD BED...I mean like, sleeping on boards. Both hubby and I woke up sore with our necks in pain. (We were in the wicker room). My parents in the master suite had a nice bed with a huge TV. Overall, the whole family agreed, we don't think Would stay here again. For the Price, I think you could find something same or better. There wasn't any kind of view (but there was a super cute dog named Lester who will fetch any sticks you throw)
