GROSS!!

This place was gross! First the hotel smelled of mold and something dead. My room had the worst towels I have ever felt. I had to dry off with a towel I had in my car. The fabric would have left scars if I could have brought myself to use them. There was 2 tv's, one working while the other just took up a lot of space. There was an old moldy subway sub on the window seal and an asprin on the floor. I will never stay there again!!! Bad Bad Bad!

Looks can be deceiving!

I booked a room here based on how positive the online reviews were and the pictures online. Let me be the first to say looks can be extremely deceiving and if they had a review on how the rooms smelled I would have never booked my room. Yes, the entry way was appealing however I didn’t sleep in the entry way, I slept in musty nasty rooms. They apparently had a fire just a few weeks ago and the entire hotel smells like smoke. When we were checking in they said that they have already “gutted all of the rooms and renovated all of the rooms” boy that was a joke! If you even remotely have allergies don’t stay here! The rooms have a major mold issue and the burnt smell was terrible.

I guess you get what you pay for

First we got lost for over an hour and I called twice for directions but the receptionist was not clear at all. I know my way around Sandusky and it should have not taken me 1 1/2 hours to get there from Cedar Point. The room was disgusting. It looked like dried up vomit on the carpet amd smelled so bad of cigarettes. The bathroom was gross. I do not recommend this hotel.

Dirty Place to Sleep Near Cedar Point

The only positive about this place is the location, not too far from Cedar Point. When we arrived, the police were arresting someone in the back of the parking lot. The room was filthy, particularly the carpet. As for vandalism: someone had written "BILLY" on a chair in the room, and carved something illegible on the phone. To top it off, the front desk gave the key to our room to someone else checking in at 2am... I awoke to pounding on the door and a confused guest who was wondering why we were in his room. I politely told them through the door (walls are very thin) that the room was taken and to check with the front desk. Overall, I guess you get what you pay for, but I expected a semi-clean room with a lock on the door... families beware.

To the kids to Cedar Point

Room was large, plenty of room for the kids to get around in. The room was clean, beds were comfortable. The hotel was in interesting part of town. A lot of shopping stores, eating places, etc..

Worst hotel I have ever stayed in

It was AWFUL! The moment I opened the door was like walking into a wall with the smell of mold and mildew. It was really overpowering. There was a half drunken bottle of soda on one of the end tables and two ashtrays that were FULL. No remote for the TV and, this I really I don't get...NO ALARM CLOCK! Then to top it all off there were no towels to take a shower! The bed was far from comfortable as well. I only needed a place to sleep and shower for 2 nights and this place didn't even come close to fitting the bill.

Don't Book Here

The hotel was terrible. We almost checked out and paid for another place. It was dirty, the door was covered in profanity that they tried to sand off after asking if our children could read it. They no longer serve breakfast which was one of the reasons we booked. The have no internet access. The ice machine broke. There is no hair dryer in the room and one iron for the entire building. There were exposed electrical chords. And their signs were broken and unlight. It was a terrible experience and I will hesitate to book this way again.

Nastyness!

Never stayed in a hotel so dirty. We had to put our comforters on the floor to keep from ruining our socks & that is the truth. Mold & mildew everywhere. We could handle that the tv & phone were from the 70's but the dirtyness gave us all nightmares & we had 2 rooms. One was worse than the other but not by much. We called the lady in the hall the "never cleaning lady". She should be ashamed & lose her job. If they try to give you rooms 107 & 108, run for the hills! Outside looks pretty nice but it's just to lure you in the door. The rooms are worth about $20 a night, just because there's a shower, if you dare to use it!

Great Room for the rates! Comfortable for six!

We got a good room for the six in my family. We just needed a place to sleep after Cedar Point and take a shower. We were satisfied to not have to pay over a hundred dollars to stay for less then 12 hours.

cedar point

The hotel was satisfactory considering the price. They had plenty of towels the sheets were clean and the bed was very comfortable. The tv selections were limited and fuzzy.the tub in the room was broke and there was hair in the sink and a pube in the shower on the wall about chest high, I'm not sure how it got up that far but a unfortounate oversight. The room needed to be dusted and the walls needed to be washed but we didn't feel that it was going to infect us as long as we didn't lick any of the fixtures. There was no breakfast at all just a old half pot of coffee
