stay with us!

Toledo, OH 43606
(419) 214-4700
(ext. 3 for front desk)

 

It’s so important to us you have the best stay possible. We chose this hotel for its central location and great reviews! Please note it is tad more expensive than we were originally quoted. Our group rate is $139/night, which comes to ~$164 after taxes. We deeply apologize for any budgeting inconvenience this may cause. Please reach out if this is an issue and we would be happy to help.

If you plan to book additional nights, it is best to call (419) 214-4700 extension 1 and book with a representative. They will ensure the best rates possible for the additional nights as only Saturday is included in our group rate. If we have enough interest, we will try and get the room rate for Friday as well. Please let us know what you’re planning! :)


Since we’re viewing this more as a fun party than a formal wedding reception, we are keeping the rest of weekend low-key and relaxed. HOWEVER, we would love to spend as much time with you as possible while you’re here. Here’s what we’re thinkin’. Everythings optional and not expected, of course. <3

RECOMMENDED AIPORTS

Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) | 45-min from hotel.
Cleveland Hopkins Airport (CLE) | 1 hour 45-min from hotel.

Sometimes prices are significantly cheaper to CLE & it may be worth it to rent a car and drive the extra hour. Otherwise, there are several options below for arranging transportation to/from DTW.


DTW TO TOL (&back)

  • RIDESHARE APP

    Uber and Lyft are both popular in the metropolitan areas here! Please note there is a separate pickup area for rideshare apps located in the airport parking garage. Follow the signs accordingly.

    PROS: flexibility, can call as needed

    CONS: pricing can fluctuate

    COST: ~$80??

  • EXTREME CLASS SHUTTLE

    Extreme Class is our shuttle provider for Saturday and also is available to hire for airport travel. Book by phone at 419-867-8700.

    PROS: reliable, can book in advance, flat rate

    CONS: rigid pick up times, pricing is dependent on group size

    PROS: cost effective

    CONS: need to uber to/from shuttle hub, only runs once a day

    COST: $33/trip

  • CAR RENTAL

    Northwest, Ohio is made for car travel! This option will give you the most flexibility and bang-for-your-buck if you plan on exploring anywhere OUTSIDE of Toledo, but is absolutely not necessary if you stick in the Toledo area. If you go this route, I live by enterprise!

    PROS: maximum flexibility, cost effective if you’ll be exploring

    CONS: responsibility of having a car

    COST: ~$100/day

LOCAL GUIDE

OUR BEST GLASS CITY RECOMENDATIONS

Toledo, Ohio, was initially part of the Great Black Swamp. In 1833, following the War of 1812, two villages were consolidated and became Toledo. Toledo becoming part of Ohio in 1837 after the Toledo War against Michigan.

Toledo's location on the Maumee River and Lake Erie made it a vital transportation center. Canals and railroads significantly boosted the city's growth and economy. Toledo became a major industrial center, particularly known for its glass manufacturing, earning Toledo the nickname "The Glass City". The city continued to grow throughout the 20th century, attracting a diverse population and expanding its industrial base. While Toledo experienced economic challenges with the decline of some industries, it has also seen periods of revitalization and remains a significant city in Ohio. It has been rewarding seeing the city experience development over the past couple of years.
