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.

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!

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.

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.

Nice small hotel to stay at . The rooms are perfect for a small family. Not a fan of walking up stairs to the second floor that is all outside during winter time . Staff is friendly.

This is a nice budget hotel during the Cedar Point season. However, in the off season it is a totally different place. The main lobby is locked all day and only rooms available have outdoor access only. Im not personally a fan of outside access rooms.
