From the minute we entered the driveway, we were impressed... Checking in with Mary who made us feel so welcome, our room was beautiful, pristine, and comfortable, the restaurant recs were excellent (we ate at Silvesto's for classic, family Italian,) the bar after dinner was inviting (more conversation with our new friend, Mary, and learning more of the history of this amazing restoration,) a quiet night's sleep, and a lovely buffet breakfast in the morning. Everywhere you look, there are interesting details to take in. If we ever pass through again, we will definitely stay here.

This is a gorgeous old building that feels very modern. I love all the woodwork and tile. Ceilings are at least 12 feet! Central air in each room. Nicely decorated throughout the inn. There is a full bar that is available until 2 am or so. The bathrooms are quite spacious, with a separate room for the w/c. Tub and shower is oversized. The rooms and bathrooms are quite spacious. It looks like each room has a wet bar. Each room is uniquely decorated. Mary, the woman who greeted us is a joy!

We were visiting family and could stay at a cookie cutter hotel chain or at the Steele Mansion and the Steele Mansion was even less expensive! This Inn has tons of charm all while providing modern comfort. The included breakfast was good (scrambled eggs, bacon and potatoes as well as cold options like cereal & yogurt). They have plenty of nice spaces for hanging out with family and we ordered carryout for dinner and ate it at the Inn with my family. There was a great bar to get drinks at and games to play while visiting. And the staff was the best. They clearly enjoyed their jobs and were very friendly. We will certainly be back.

Absolutely lovely place to stay! Every square inch was immaculately clean, the staff were all friendly and had great suggestions for local activities, breakfast was delicious, each room--guest rooms and common areas--were fun to explore. .. I truly can't think of a thing I would change. We also had fun making friends with Boo the cat, who lives next door and is a regular fixture in the parking lot. He is wary enough that cat-averse guests wouldn't need to go out of their way to avoid him, though. Even as a Clevelander, I'd never spent any time in Painesville or the surrounding communities. The beaches were beautiful, and there were more parks than we could've counted. Fairport Harbor had lots of cute shops, and the Fairport Harbor Creamery was good enough that we had no choice but to go two days in a row. If we were looking for another easy vacation spot, we'd happily go back in a heartbeat.

We just love this place, you will not find a nicer staff. Everyone is so nice and accommodating. It is extremely clean and quaint. The complimentary breakfast is fantastic. Our only complaint is that the mattress we slept on had a dip in the middle so wasn’t the most comfortable on the back. But we really cannot recommend this place enough.

The restoration was impressive, to say the least! Room was fine as far as comfort. The only real issue, was that the room was very poorly soundproofed, and was situated next to the stairs to the third floor. Foot traffic from the stairs telegraphed into our room all night long. Ugh! Made it almost impossible to sleep. So, overall, decent hotel. Just don't rent anything on the second floor on the stair side of the hotel. We were in 203, quite possibly the worst room in the place. Third floor or non-stairway side on the second floor.

The Steele Mansion is a really special spot. I love its history and its genesis: it has its roots in the city's foundations and is linked with Lake Erie College across the street. Eventually it got sold, went into rentals, then vacancy. The owners have lovingly restored it from a shell to a gorgeous, pristine and comfortable place to stay.

The property was beautiful! The home is welcoming & charming. The staff was helpful & welcoming. The breakfast was the best complimentary breakfast I've ever had. Overall I'd give it a 10. Not much to do around the area but if you are looking for a nice little getaway this is where you want to stay!

It was gorgeous inside and out. The amazing attention to detail at every turn was so impressive. It was clean and beautiful. The story of this property is cool too. The staff and owner both so kind. Heads up breakfast is in the basement. We assume 1st floor dining area. So we missed it thinking maybe during the week they don’t have it and realized after as we toured the property. our fault. Inn is near Fairport Harbor restaurant by the water which we enjoyed. Loved this stay.

My wife and I chose this hotel based on location. However, it turned out to be an incredible experience. Will stay here again in the future. Doesn’t get any better than this

Great place to stay. Beautiful manor. Convenient because you are able to reach east and west side of Lake County easily.

The Steele Mansion is a really special spot. I love its history and its genesis: it has its roots in the city's foundations and is linked with Lake Erie College across the street. Eventually it got sold, went into rentals, then vacancy. The owners have lovingly restored it from a shell to a gorgeous, pristine and comfortable place to stay.

After several stays at this beautiful mansion, we would never consider any other lodging in the Painesville area. Immaculately clean, friendly staff that go above and beyond to meet and exceed expectations, and a great location just down the block from a beautiful walking path. Thank you Steele Mansion for ANOTHER great experience!!!

From the minute we entered the driveway, we were impressed... Checking in with Mary who made us feel so welcome, our room was beautiful, pristine, and comfortable, the restaurant recs were excellent (we ate at Silvesto's for classic, family Italian,) the bar after dinner was inviting (more conversation with our new friend, Mary, and learning more of the history of this amazing restoration,) a quiet night's sleep, and a lovely buffet breakfast in the morning. Everywhere you look, there are interesting details to take in. If we ever pass through again, we will definitely stay here.

We were visiting family and could stay at a cookie cutter hotel chain or at the Steele Mansion and the Steele Mansion was even less expensive! This Inn has tons of charm all while providing modern comfort. The included breakfast was good (scrambled eggs, bacon and potatoes as well as cold options like cereal & yogurt). They have plenty of nice spaces for hanging out with family and we ordered carryout for dinner and ate it at the Inn with my family. There was a great bar to get drinks at and games to play while visiting. And the staff was the best. They clearly enjoyed their jobs and were very friendly. We will certainly be back.
