Great place to stay

by Bob M

I visit the Port Clinton=Marblehead area often and always stay at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites. I've tried the other hotels but always come back to this HI Express. Excellent location and property, nice renovated, clean and modern. There is a beautiful outside patio with views of the water and an easy drive to Catawaba Island, Port Clinton, and Marblehead.
