Where do I even start...
One of the worst places I've ever stayed.  
-DIRTY
-NO HOT WATER 
-NO WATER PRESSURE
-POOR SERVICE 
-POOL NOT WORKING 
-NO MICROWAVE
-NO COFFEE POT
-UNCOMFORTABLE BED 
-POOR WIFI
-DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL FIRE HAZARD
-NO BEACH 
-RACIST OWNER 

Now to elaborate.  I know the owners are going to get on here and try to disclaim as much as they can.  If you check google reviews and the ones here, they hardly ever own up and there are many reoccurring issues that seem to never actually get dealt with.  
-DIRTY we arrived to a room that hadn't been cleaned.  (sounds like from other reviews that I wish I read before that we were far from the 1st to experience this)
We didn't fully realize it until after we unloaded all of our stuff into the room.  Towels on the floor, bed not fully made.
-NO HOT WATER this was a big one.  If we wanted to rough it we would have went camping!  What kind of motel doesn't have hot water???   Yes the water got WARM...eventually...but NEVER hot.  And again it sounds like it's an issue that others have noticed and has not been dealt with.  
-NO WATER PRESSURE.  Just adding to no hot water was the lack of water pressure.  Very weak.  Sink was barely a trickle.  
-POOR SERVICE  You were made to feel like you were inconveniencing Todd if you needed something in the evening when he was done for the day.  He was done and wanted to just close up the office.  Just seems like they should have someone for service 24/7.  But, maybe I'm just used to normal motels.  
-POOL NOT WORKING.  Supposedly waiting for a part for the pool water heater.  Should have gotten a discount or been notified ahead of time as that was going to be a big part of our leisure time.  
-NO MICROWAVE.  Get with the times.  Very inconvenient to not be able to warm up leftovers or whatever.
-NO COFFEE POT.  If you want coffee you have to go to the office where there's 1 pot for everyone.  
-UNCOMFORTABLE BED.  old bed.  back killing me.  
-POOR WIFI.  very spotty and weak.  mainly used cell service and hotspot.
-DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL FIRE HAZARD.  A/C window unit sits above floor heater and power cord to A/C hangs right over heater.  Had A/C going and it got cold overnight.  Heater kicked on automatically since it doesn't have an off switch, just a temperature dial.  Was heating everything in front of it that we put on the floor including the power cord to A/C unit.  Picture attached.
-NO BEACH.   I guess the lake has taken over the beach.  I guess that isn't their fault but is still a bummer nonetheless.  Just a tiny corner of beach for 1 couple to sit and look maybe.  
-RACIST.  I NEVER have posted about racism.  I don't hardly think about it.  I believe much of it is overhyped by the media...BUT I guess I should have figured by the name "plantation" motel there could be some old school mindsets.  Todd drove up as we were loading into our 2nd room (that had actually been cleaned) and chatted with me and my wife.  Todd was going on about credit card fees and not trusting the companies and Trump and what not..He then asked me in a condescending way "what do you guys (my race) speak, is it Mexican or what is it..?"  I said..."you mean SPANISH" ...and I literally don't even speak spanish.  I am Mexican though.  And he continued to go on about France and Mexico and how they are going to invade America...?  I don't know.   But, I definitely felt like my race was not appreciated to say the least.  

ALL THAT TO SAY.  Be aware of these things if you are considering staying here.  Check out google reviews as well.  
I hope things change, but I have my doubts.  I think he will just continue to deny these things and make up excuses.  I was going to say something while I was there, but I didn't feel welcome as it was and I wanted to make others aware.  He may have gave us a discount or something, but then things would never change.  
I HATE to complain, but I had to speak out about this place.  Some people might not even mind these things for a quick 1 night stay.  We stayed 5 nights!  Room 115.  Just this past week.

DIRTY, NO HOT WATER, RACIST OWNER, FIRE HAZARD, UNCOMFORTABLE BED

This motel stands on a beautiful piece of land. You can rent small cabins, rooms, or houses. The place has a pool and a private beach. It is reasonably priced, and the rooms are beautifully designed, clean, and comfortable. The staff was very nice as well. No complaints.

A lot for the price!

I was not expecting a lot because of some negative reviews. However we were delightfully surprised by the lovely setting of the cottages, along a long path with tall, elegant trees on either side, leading down to Lake Erie. There was hardly a beach, but one could get down to the water and climb on some large rocks.  An eagle was spotted. The cottage itself was small, very clean, the bed sagged a little in the middle but not seriously, and the moon over the soybean field was visible at night from the toilet. It was very quiet. The internet was a bit sketchy. We stayed one night, and would have stayed longer, but we are travelers. If I had had my swimsuit, I would have gone for a dip in the small pool which appeared clean and inviting.

There are nice surprises

The old lock and key presented us with a challenge. We had to fiddle with it for a few minutes before we could get inside. It was clean, but the toilet was leaking on the floor where you put your feet. The fire alarm was hanging from the ceiling. We won’t ever stay here again. You get what you pay for I guess.

You get what you pay for.

You gets what you pays for. This place was about half the price of the next lowest price place nearby. I found it very home-like. My house isn't spotless, I've got all these DIY projects I've been meaning to do but just hain't got around to it yet, and when I have company over who've known me for years, I don't bother hiding what's wrong. Yeah, see, it's like your house that way. Don't be expecting Hilton here. Seeing as the only thing we did there was sleep and then shower in the morning, we didn't want or need something fancypants. BTW, the shower head was a bit low for tall folks. 

Nice touches include one single pot of coffee for the whole motel. You pop by in the morning to the reception room and get your good mornings in. Nice! If you're on a budget, this place is home friendly nice. If you're not on a budget, go stay someplace fancypants or at least have the guts not to complain about minor stuff.

I would deffo stay there again to go to Cedar Point. That is one heck of an amusement park. 

On to the best part of the review! You've got the name of the place! You've got the address! You've heard of search engines! So search for their website and get it cheaper direct AND make Todd happy! Be a true budget traveller! Those "unexpected fees" others are complaining about come from the website upon which you are reading this review...

Affordable and freindly

The place is absolutely filthy.  We knew going in that the place was small and old.  Age and size aren't the issue. For rooms as small as these, a deep extensive cleaning wouldn't take more than an hour.  A typical motel cleaning wouldn't take more than 30 minutes.  I would say an average of 10 minutes, maybe, is put into "cleaning" these rooms.  I saw several rooms, cottages and a house, each was a filthy as the others. For example, when you put a towel on the floor, after your shower, the towel turns completely black.  There are bugs and cobwebs everywhere. The smell is horrific. The floors haven't been swept, let alone cleaned in years!  You are dirtier after your shower.  The filth and the horrific smell are the biggest complaints.  There are several other negative points such as unfriendliness and the inability to receive clean towels for a several day stay but, the overall filth should be brought to your attention and enough to warn you off.  The location is nice and the Lake front is beautiful.  If you want to pay for that and sleep outside or in your car, then it is worth it.  Other than that, I wouldn't cross the threshold.

Don't let the video fool you

This was a fast 1 night stop over on a long drive to INDIANA
The after hours check in process was as efficient as promised
The little cottage was cute and nicely clean
Walked over to the lake in the morning...

the reason for my low rating is the "extra fee" that I was charged, which IMHO is simply ridiculous!!!!.
I booked this place through Expedia and was quoted a rate which then had roughly $8.00 added for 'taxes & fees'. I was totally fine to pay that.
However when the charge appeared on my CC statement it was almost another $2.00 additional (OK nobody will get rich or poor from $2.00 and you may call me cheap but still)
When Expedia called the hotel they were informed that this was "a service fee if you process your payment thru credit card"
Dont think I'll be stopping there again - IMHO things like charging extra for CC payments should be disclosed

If it wasnt for the unexpected fee

I never even made it as far as to stay. My husband and I were supposed to go down to the area for a family wedding,  but due to the entire family (brid,groom, mother and grandmother of the bride,  daughter of the bride, grooms parents) coming down with covid I had to cancel my reservation, I tried canceling them 7 days before (reservation where made through another site) and was told there was a cancelation fee and they would contact the property to attempt to get the fees waved. I attempted to contact the plantation and the guy I talked to was very rude and said I was lying about trying to cancel a week ago. I have booking hotels with this site for years and have never had a problem and never encountered such a rude person.  Very poor customer service.

Very rude

I read the reviews of the Plantation Motel but thought that there are always good and bad reviews. So, my family and I decided to give it a try, since it looked quaint, and stay there for two nights while on vacation. In trying to book the room, the owner was not very personable. We arrived on Monday, July 26, 2021 to check out on the 28th. I paid in cash which was a big mistake. Ill get to why. The owner gave me the key to room 123 and stated "he spent all day cleaning it". So after i checked in, we went to the room and were very surprised by what we saw. When you first enter the room, there was linoleum then carpet. Both were visably dirty. The bed spread looked like someone had just checked out and threw the spread and the pillows up to the head board haphazardly. Someone poured out something into the kitchen sink and it wasn't cleaned out. The cabinet door was open. And most of all, the room had a very bad odor! We decided to leave. The owner had already locked up the office but caught up to him on his way out and explained why we were leaving. HE WASN'T HAPPY. Kept giving excuses that he cleaned the room and didn't know how it could be dirty. He stated that due to the cancellation policy, he would only be able to give me a refund for one night. When I turned in the the key, he stated that he thought I was in room 122 and looked confused. I paid $307 and change at check-in. Received back $155 at check-out. I was furious. All this occured within a span of 15 to 30 minutes. He was protected by his policy but what about me! DON'T PAY WITH CASH! If I had used a credit card, I could have disputed the charges. After I left, I had thought more about what he said about room 122 and realized the owner had not given me the room I had reserved. No wonder he was confused. Don't you think the owner would know what room a guest reserved? At this point i was glad to be gone. Unfortunately, I had to end my vacation one day early due to the money I was not refunded. Moral of the story, ask to check the room before you pay. If they refuse then leave!

All of the bad reviews...ACCURATE!!!...DO NOT STAY HERE!!

First off we booked this trip to do a little family getaway. It was my husband and our daughter and our dog. The first thing listed on the hotels website is that it’s pet friendly. Prior to arriving at the hotel we were informed that if we didn’t check in by 5 PM we would not have A room. So we rush down and made a 2 Hour Dr. to get here at 4:50 to check in.  When we got here the owner complained that we booked in on Expedia. He also inferred that we were snobs for using Expedia. When we checked into the room there were blood stains on one of the comforters. I quickly took a photo to make sure I would not be blamed. Regardless we brought our own bedding. We wanted to make it work. Since we love the Huron area. We left the hotel and went to Subway to eat dinner. We were gone about 15 minutes and the owner called my husband’s cell phone to complain about our dogs saying he wasn’t running a damn kennel. We quickly return and checked out of the hotel. Yeah the owner is mean and abrasive and has no business skills
