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!
John, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed 3 nights while visiting Cedar Point. Location was perfect to get to the park and the downtown area quickly. Older building, but dont be fooled it was very clean and comfortable for a family of 4. Pool and Hot tub area were a great place to gather at the end of the day. Breakfast was good each day!

Bike Week 2025

This hotel was very close to downtown Sandusky for bike week. The family run Hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. We loved the classic and vintage style of the Hotel. We will definitely stay here next year for Mike. We can recommend this place to our friends.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Location is very good. Room just ok. Room was smelly, bedding sheets on one bed had red spots, pillows were terrible. $25 charge if you want to check in before 4 p.m. Will not recomend.

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!

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.
Debra, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.

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.
Britni, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The service way amazing, I had car trouble and had to leave early and cancel several nights of my stay and all of the staff was very kind helpful and understanding. The room was clean and tidy. The only thing that I noticed that I didn't care for was that our room door to the outside wasn't flush with the ground. There was probably at least 1 cm or more of a gap from the bottom of the door to the ground. I don't know if that is the same for all rooms or just the one we had. But other than for that it was a very nice place and was very centrally located and I would stay there again.
Claudia, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Extremely noisy room

The room was clean it had decent beds and a shower that worked. There was a service room that shared a wall with our bedroom and it had a motor running in it 24-7. It was noisy as he'll and that room shouldn't be rented without some kind of notice of this issue. The front door closed and locked but the gaps around it allows bugs to do as they please. The free breakfast doesn't have protein unless you want boiled eggs like rubber bouncy balls. The shower is tiny and all the soap smells like axe body spray, bring your own. The one bed is almost tight up against the air conditioner unit making half of the bed unusable, luckily we only had 3.
Thomas, 1-night trip

Clean and comfy!

CLEAN!!! This is always my top priority, and our room was very clean. Lobby was beautiful, and the front desk staff that checked us in were both very friendly and welcoming. Beds were super comfy too. I like the room setups where the sink/vanity is right outside the door from the toilet/shower, so we can all get ready a little quicker in the mornings. You can tell the building itself is a little older, but there have been some nice upgrades.
