One of our favorite places to stay

We stay here about every time we go to cedar point. The nicest group runs this place-the pool is a hit with the kids-nice hot tub for the parents. Never had an issue, breakfast is fine, two thumbs up all the way for a great mom and pop hotel ❤️

Pleased with our stay

Staff was very friendly and provided complimentary water bottles to each member of our family upon check in. Rooms were clean, closely located to the outdoor pool and hot tub. Hot tub could’ve been a little hotter but the kids enjoyed both. The breakfast was decent. They had plenty of options and it did the job. We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice budget friendly hotel near Cedar Point.

Hotel room was clean and well kept. Pool and salt water hot tub were very nice. Typical hotel continental breakfast. Not the fanciest place in town, but great bang for your buck. Would stay again!

Great spot for value and convenience.

Great little place to stay when you're taking in Cedar Point for a couple of days. Continental breakfast is what you'd expect and had a cool pancake machine. Pool was great, kid loved the water slides. Staff was very friendly and always available. Location was great, close to all kinds of food options, activities and less that 10 mins from Cedar Point. Will definitely go back.
Jason, 3-night trip

One of the better Sandusky hotels

The hotel is great. It’s classic and charming and well-kept. The rooms were clean, updated, and comfortable. However, we accidentally left some things in the room and it’s been an impossibility to reach someone at the hotel to try to get them back. Either you get an offsite reservation center or no one answers the phone at the hotel.

Clean and comfortable room. Plenty of space and quiet. Within short walking distance of restaurants. 5 mins from Cedar Point. Breakfast was good with standard complimentary fair. Only complaint would be the Coffee. Instant out of a machine instead of fresh brewed in the morning.
Elaine, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Would recommend to anyone

Staff were exceptionally helpful and kind! They made everything a breeze. Pool and hot tub were a bonus a d even open late. Absolutely would stay here again. Shower head was a little short for taller people but was manageable.
Samantha, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stay was excellent! Breakfast was wonderful except would like to see a protein other than hard boiled eggs. There is a train that goes by a few times, but hotel can’t help that.
