Port Clinton is a Lake Erie town at the mouth of the Portage River in Ottawa County. The Port Clinton beachfront motel in this stay sits on its own strip of private sand, and it runs a front desk like any hotel. Two nights is the plan, and the first thing you get from us is a written quote.
Beyond the motel's own sand, the city keeps a public beach by the downtown waterfront. We plan the stay for you without a fee of any kind, and no payment passes through this website. The motel takes your payment at its own desk.

Beachfront motel with a private beach
The lodging is a beachfront motel with a private beach, registering guests at its own desk. You will find its name in the written quote, never on this page, together with the room it has open for your dates.
Two June nights in figures
From $270 for two, that is $135 per person, for 2 nights: the room for two at a working June rate our office set from motel prices we found on travel sites, with no nightly fee listed. State and local lodging taxes are extra. The quote puts the motel's real rate for your nights in place of ours, and it can land higher or lower.
Carried in the two-person figure
- 2 nights in a room for two at the office's working rate for that month

Planned from June to August
We plan this stay in the summer months, June to August. The figure on this page uses a June rate; a July or August date gets its own number in the quote, read by you before any room is held.
Settled on paper first
The written quote names the motel, the room and the 2 nights. It gives the room total, the lodging taxes the motel adds, and the motel's own cancellation terms, which you can compare with our cancellation policy page. You reply yes in writing, ask for a change, or let it go.
Only after a written yes do we ask the motel to hold the room in your name. If it asks for a card to secure the room, you settle that with the motel directly.
Grant Street to the Portage River
Port Clinton is 96 miles from our office on Grant Street, about 1 hr 59 min without traffic by a computed estimate. Real drives take longer, especially on summer weekends near the lake.
Tell us your summer weekend
The request form takes dates at any hour and costs you nothing. We ask the motel whether a room is open and reply with one written quote, so you can decide calmly.
