Independent Archbold Hotels

Sauder Village is a nonprofit organization, home of Ohio’s largest living-history museum. The 235-acre complex offers a complement of food, lodging and retail services, making it an ideal destination for families, groups, small conferences and special events.

We are different than most organizations thanks to the original passion and dream of our founder, Erie Sauder who was a visionary leader. Erie established Sauder Village in 1976, not just to preserve the “things” from history, but more importantly to share the “stories” of every day people of the past. His respect and appreciation for his ancestors translated into a passion to ensure that people, and most specifically children, realize the ingenuity, hard work, sacrifice, and determination of those who came before us — and ultimately to inspire that same pioneering and entrepreneurial spirit in their lives today in hopes that they strive to make a positive difference in their world. This continues to serve as our core purpose.

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Defiance by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I loved it"

Sunset Acres Motel

6/10 Okay

"This is a really run-down, low-quality motel. SKIP IT! DANGEROUS (maybe even illegal) items: Water is scaldingly hot. The single-handle control in shower is broken, spins 360 degrees, so it's VERY difficult to avoid being burned. My wife burned her face before we knew it was broken. There are NO smoke alarms in room. No grab bars ANYWHERE in bathroom/shower. The step down outside the door is almost a foot high, with no hand-hold. Very dangerous if you're not exceedingly careful. Needs another intermediate step outside door. Deadbolt lock inop/damaged. Useless NO ONE is on-site. No phone in rooms. Calling motel number gets only a voicemail, and a text with partial answer to questions "sometime" later. Non-Dangerous Items/Convenience: Needs: Another small waste container bathroom Extra bath mat for multi-day stay Mat in front of sink As I said, there is no one on site, and they don't send instructions for checkin until "just before check-in". The basic instructions, including WHEN to expect the details, should be sent with reservation confirmation. Very basic "Nice-to-have:" There are almost NO amenities: Only the tiniest sliver of soap for 3 days, no shampoo. No Kleenex. Curtains don't cover windows. No chair/desk anywhere, or luggage racks. Just an extremely flimsy round bedside table. No place to put suitcases. No garment hooks in bathroom for clothes. Some of these would be very inexpensive to address. In any case, we will NOT be staying there again."

Sauder Village Heritage Inn

8/10 Good

"Pool was a bit crowded but big and clean. Temp on pool and hot tub good. Short toilet in room which made it hard to get up and down off of it.The breakfast was very disappointing. No potatoes and every meat and gravy made of pork. The rest was sugar and gluten. So if you are looking for anything quality to eat, skip the breakfast. No teas after 10am so unless you drink only coffee you are out of luck. Coffee was not good either. It used to be Ekberts but it has been changed to something AWEFUL. Even my husband didn't like it. For a classy place they need a better food management."
