Lake Erie · Geneva-on-the-Lake, Ohio
Geneva-on-the-Lake motel stay below the bluff, reserved for a weekend
From, for two$2802 nights, two sharing · $140 eachNot included: state and local lodging taxes.
Two nights on the old summer strip of Ashtabula County, northeast of Cleveland, is the whole plan here. A Geneva-on-the-Lake motel stay puts you at a lakefront motel that runs its own front desk, with Lake Erie sitting below a low bluff. We ask the motel about your dates and write one quote before anything is held in your name.
The beach is a narrow ribbon of sand and flat stones. Inland, the wineries of the Grand River Valley are close by, so a weekend can hold both the shore and a visit to the vineyards. You pay the office nothing for any of this: no planning fee and no booking fee.

Sand, stones and a north northwest shore
Our own measure puts this shoreline facing 347 degrees, a touch west of due north. On July 15 at this latitude the sun comes up at 59 degrees and goes down at 301 degrees, and both of those points fall out over the lake.
Sunset is the closer of the two: it lies 46 degrees to your left as you face the water. Sunrise sits farther round, 72 degrees to the right. That is why this stay opens our catalog, in the group where summer evenings end over Lake Erie.

Lakefront motel registering its own guests
The lodging is a lakefront motel that registers its guests at its own front desk. This page keeps the motel's name to itself; the written quote names it, along with the room it has open for your two nights.
Strip motel at its own June rate
The figure starts from $280 for two, which works out to $140 per person, for 2 nights. Inside it is the room for two at the office's working June rate, which we set from prices travel sites carried for this motel. No nightly fee turned up for it. State and local lodging taxes are outside the figure, and the quote replaces our working number with the motel's rate for your dates, as each figure is built explains.
Carried in the two-person figure
- 2 nights in a room for two at the office's working rate for that month
- Any resort or amenity fee the hotel charges every night
- The written quote and the request to hold the room
Settled apart from it
- State and local lodging tax, added by the hotel
- Fuel and tolls on the drive
- Meals and anything you buy on the trip
- Parking, where the hotel or the town charges for it

Summer months on an old resort strip
We plan this weekend from June to August, the summer months of an old lakeside resort strip. The figure above uses a June rate, and a July or August night at the motel may price higher or lower, which the quote settles before you decide.
Your quote settles these points
One quote arrives in writing. It names the motel and the room, lists the 2 nights, gives the total for the room with any fee inside, and sets out the taxes the motel will add and its own cancellation terms. Nothing is held until you reply yes in writing; then we ask the motel to hold the room in your name.
The motel may ask you directly for a card to secure the room. That stays between you and the motel, and you pay it at its desk when you arrive. How those terms work is covered on our cancellation policy page.
From Grant Street to the bluff
From our office on Grant Street in Akron the drive is 76 miles, about 1 hr 40 min without traffic. That time comes from a computed estimate, and real drives take longer, so leave room for summer weekend traffic around Cleveland.
Send us your weekend dates
The request form takes your dates at any hour and costs nothing. We read it, ask the motel about a room and write back with one quote you can read before you decide.
