Cedar point visit

Was spending time at cedar point and for the price is a really good place to stay. Friendly staff and close to the park. Neighbors was a little noisy but with bike week it wasn't bad! Great place!

It’s an older hotel that appears to have been renovated. It seems like other options in the area are also older. A nice feature was a well taken care of pool with slides and a hot tub, also a fire pit to make marshmallows. But maybe the best of all was the service. People running the hotel were very friendly and accommodating. Just a really nice atmosphere.

Overall, great property for the price and location. Our doors manual lock didn’t lock but told the front desk at checkout and they took a note. Front desk was nice. Breakfast was standard carb items. Daughter was excited about the pancake machine. I would stay there again.

This is a much older property, and the rooms were not in the best shape. The beds were pretty uncomfortable. The staff barely says two words to you, doesn't even say you're welcome when you say thank you. I will say that when I needed towels they brought them to me immediately.

Our room was not accessible from the lobby. We parked around the side of the building and went into the side entrance where there were 4 rooms one of which was ours. Strange setup. And our room had a jacuzzi!

Great place for the money.

I went to Cedar Point. The pool and hot tub us what has kept me coming there. I was too early this time for those things. Everything was great. The staff is wonderful. Nice breakfast that was staffed by a very nice lady.

Not too shabby!

Great place for the weekend. Cheaper option with a good breakfast for the kids if you dont want a restaurant style one. Kids had fun playing on swingset with other kids. Overall a great time regardless.

Basic and Simple

Stayed with my daughter for a volleyball tournament. It was a very basic, clean, comfortable stay. The only negative was the lack of coffee machine in the room. Other than that, it was perfect for what we needed.

Charming, Clean, and Close to Cedar Point

The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. Room was reasonably priced and a good size, while being well maintained. A short trip to all enjoyable Sandusky attractions. Staff even called shortly after check out to inform about belongings left behind. Fully recommend!
