We were in sandusky for a weekend softball tournament. The room was very nice with the perfect amount of amenities and we loved having 2 full bathrooms. There is nothing on site though. No laundry, vending, office etc. The owners were very easy to contact if you needed something but otherwise it was just you and your room. Very quiet area.
