Very nice place to stay

Clerk was very friendly was surprised to get a full size fridge and microwave. Bed was very comfortable, plenty of hot water for showers, quiet

8/10 Very good

This place was perfect for the price we paid. The staff was incredibly friendly. The place needs some upgrades as it is very dated, but it was clean enough and you can tell the staff try their best to keep it looking great. It has a beautiful courtyard and a decent looking pool. If this place gets some updates and renovations, it will easily be a top tier hotel.

This hotel is very dated and not attractive from the outside. Our room was ok but had lots of repairs that could be made. No breakfast available, which we knew up front. The price was cheap so I guess you get what you pay for. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

Just your average hotel

Hotel was decent, they definitely had some things to work on but was bug free and clean enough for me. Bed was comfy. Perfect hotel for a couple night stay. They do not have a maid yet i dont think, so you do have to ask for more towels if need be. Lock situation was a little sketchy but they work non the less.

Would return

It's being renovated at the moment. It has a lot of potential. Our room was basic, everything worked properly, the fridge was large for a hotel room. There was a strange smell in the room and you could tell it hadn't been updated for a long time. Overall, for the price, I wasn't disappointed and would stay again. It's a room with beds and a bathroom, all I really need for our cedar point trips.

Very nice front deck employee. Not sure if his name but very friendly and helpful. The bed wasn't very comfortable but otherwise I was very happy. It was super quiet did not hear any noise. Price was excellent and location. It does need some more renovating but they are working on it. Very clean room and pleasantly surprised there was a big refrigerator and a microwave in room. Under previous owner there was no fridge in rooms. Would definitely stay again.

The hotel was clean and comfortable. I'll stay again when I go back to visit cedar point. Its right down the street from the park. Everytime good the only thing was the wifi didnt work in my room, just only in the lobby when i went down. They said they was going to work on it so i'll see is it different when I go back. But in all everything was great.Their pool even was open verses to alot of hotel I been to in Sandusky when I go to cedar point.

Check in was quick and easy. The staff member who checked me in (I forget his name; he was young with brown hair, a beard and nice smile) was very friendly. The room was nice with a full size fridge/freezer combo, microwave and coffee maker. The beds were very comfortable with fluffy pillows (I always need fluffy pillows when I sleep). The pool was normal sized and my son and I had it all to ourselves when we went to it. It was a little dirty with leaves and other debris floating and at the bottom of the pool. Even though the page says no breakfast, there was coffee and mini muffins in the lobby. Check out process was quick and easy as well. I would definitely stay here again if I needed a place to stay in Sandusky close to Cedar Point.

Staff are fantastic

Fantastic staff, friendly and hard working. For $50 I cannot complain. The room was very clean and the beds were clean and comfortable. The room was in need of many repairs and sprucing up but at this price point it is not a deal buster. If you need a good place to sleep after Cedar Point and are on a budget this is an excellent choice. Just expect very basic accommodations. The staff are what puts this place above any other hotel. They are working their best with limited workers. You can tell they work hard and want to please. I was happy to support them and wish them the best as they fix up the property. Give them a chance just don’t expect a five star royal room.

No hot water. No trash cans in hallway or parking lot. Toilet plumbing was bad. Paper thin walls. Under massive Reno’s. Cheap but wait until next year.

I got more than what I paid for!

The motal on the outside looked ok but the main lobby looked amazing. The hallways to the rooms looked really nice and I loved the lobby. The rooms are great and the beds was SOOOO Is comfortable! Pillows were very nice! I also liked the covers. The only down fall was their was no microwave but the motal was so close to Cedar Point and it was very easy to get too. It's great for the price and And the cable tv was awesome They had a very decent amount of channels like usa,TNT, my mom also liked HSN and QVC channel's. When we went up to the motel, We saw Good and bad reviews of the motal. But i'm glad we went.We definitely will come back! I read somewhere it had a new owner and they were remodeling a lot. I can tell because I had a great experience. It was also very clean The shower were soooo goood i loved the warm water. This was a worth it trip! And hope to come back next year.

6/10 Good

The motel is very old but clean as can be for age of building. Room was ok, some things like towel bar and toilet seat lid were broken and falling off the wall. Wasn't a huge deal to us. Bed was king size and very comfortable. Pool was clean and warm. Has some sort of pool house that is in desperate need of TLC. Very old broken down grill. The convenience to Cedar Point was awesome. Literally located around the corner of the entrance. Several people gave this motel a 8-10/10 I would not say that! This is at best 4/10 motel. Based off location, cleanliness and staff was friendly and the outdoor pool was actually nice and working. Otherwise this is a very basic motel. No elevator as it's only 2 stories. We had to go inside the motel and the walk back outside to get to our room. So if you have a lot to carry in. Be prepared. Now one of the employees was walking out with us and he actually helped carry our cooler and bags up the steps. Again, staff was pleasant. We both agreed we would stay again.

2 Star spot close to Cedar Point

We were simply looking for a place to lay our heads after a couple long days at Cedar Point but it barely did that. Pros: Just as the other reviews mentioned, Friendly Staff. - Only interaction was checking in, but he was very friendly. Very close to Cedar Point Ice Machine stayed full despite having no vacancy Cons: Room and the bedsheets had a damp feel to it from the moment we arrived. Maybe due to bad climate control in the room, idk but just felt very gross in there, especially trying to sleep. 2 of the bathroom lights only lit up well after turning the switch on. Either bad connection or bad bulbs but it took about 10 minutes for them to finally light up Too much light entering the room at night. - the drapes didn't block enough of the parking lot lighting blasting through the windows. *In addition, the front door had a terrible seal with the hallway lighting entering around the entire frame of the door. Door latch was broken Dead area of Sandusky - literally nothing going on other than Cedar Point on this end of town Vending matching out of order Overall, just a yucky room. Certainly no more than a 2 star hotel. More expensive than what I think it's worth but the less expensive option in the area. I forget the other options but I would recommend other options until they make upgrades and improvements.

Don't believe positive reviews

Don't believe positive reviews. The hotel is very outdated inside and out. Furniture in the room is old and in bad shape. Stains on carpet. Bathtub is also old and unappealing, water barely drains. They reemodel the lobby but forgot about the rest of the hotel.

Nice little newly renovated.

Nice hotel being renovated by new owners. Have keyless locks, which is great, just have a passcode to get into room. Needs some good landscaping and they can turn this place into a nice little spot! Pool was nice, needs a little tlc but they got it. Employees were super nice and assisted with any of our needs.
