Easy approach to the marina with plenty of water below our 4.5' draft. Staff was helpful with mooring at the guest dock by the office to check in. They put us on the end of a tee dock and boats seemed to pass unreasonably close as they passed. Parking lot is completely gated and felt secure during our stay. Bathrooms were unlocked and open for showers. Shower rooms were nice and clean. The ship store is very limited. Marina is a distance away from any attractions so I used Uber to get places. Marina is located near the airport but noise was not an issue.

Very friendly marina. Lots of season slip holders on weekends. Restaurant (weather permitting) next to marina office. Bathrooms and showers sufficient. No Laundry or WiFi. If you like long walks or have a bike, you can get to the city and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (about 3.5 miles).

Protected marina located on the east end of the Cleveland breakwater. On entering from the west facing channel entrance proceed past the piers to the fuel dock and bait shop. On 27 July I paid $3.45/gallon for diesel. The bait shop includes a convenience items including ice cream, candy and beer. An open air restaurant is adjacent to the bait shop with a good food and alcohol selections. Restroom and shower facility is clean with hot water. Water depth in fairway is 19 feet and shoaled to 10 feet at fuel dock. A freeway and small plane airport are next to the marina, but I did not find the noise bothersome.
