The pool is not big but it’s fine, especially if you’re there for things like cedar point and just want a quick dip in the pool. The breakfast was the same thing every day but was also fine- small muffins, pancakes, cereal, bagels, toast, yogurt, fruit. The rooms are okay- something about the ac made the room (beds and floors) slightly damp and there was a smell when we came back, but we were gone most of the day and just needed a halfway decent place to stay that wasn’t super pricy.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel! We opted for the spacious 3 Full size bed room, which was ideal for our family of five. The hotel’s location right near Cedar Point Drive meant we were just a few minutes away from the park, making it convenient for our daily adventures. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the hotel’s restaurant and then took a refreshing dip in the pool to unwind after a long day at the park.

Beds were Comfortable

Beds were comfortable after long days at Cedar Point. Hotel was convenient to the entrance of the park. The supplied breakfast was the bare minimal, but still better than nothing. The room looked to be updated, but upon further review there were no outlets available to charge your phone, no house phone to call the front desk, the laminate flooring was no longer sealed and connected and the bathtub / bathroom leaked water under the flooring. The entry door did not seal properly and the security lock on the door jamb was barely installed. The Air Conditioning worked great on one of the hottest weekends in Sandusky. The lady taking care of the continental breakfast was an abomination... speaking ill of her manager the whole time we sat and ate, which was completely uncalled for. Her manager was one of the nicest people on staff.

2 night Point stay.

The location was perfect, adjacent to the Cedar Point entrance, the room was nice, clean, but a bit on the COZY side. It would be perfect for a solo traveler, but a couple with a few bags, not so much. The breakfast was same old, except for their yummy blueberry mini muffins! Also...trains went by often. Take earplugs if you're not a VERY sounds sleeper.

The location is very close to Cedar Point which was super convenient. The staff at check in was very helpful and gave cold water which was nice. However, the breakfast was really gross. Boiled eggs were in one large wet dirty bowl and the water was the color green, and the woman doing the breakfast was coughing all over everything. We decided to not eat the breakfast. The rooms were spacious and renovated. Minus the breakfast it was a decent motel.

Basic Yet Clean

Was in town for a fishing trip and needed a place to stay just overnight. This place fit the bill. While overpriced, it was less overpriced than all the other places around. Hotel was basic, yet clean. Left to early to try the breakfast.

People were really nice. Breakfast was what you expect, good variety and clean space. Place is a little old which means things are in need of repair but you can tell they’re trying to keep it up. Our room unfortunately had a view of the motel next door rubbish pile. The door has a gap, molding coming off in places, ceiling and shower surround were iffy. At first glance I thought it was clean. It was quiet and we slept well!
