Our family of four recently visited Sandusky for a trip to Cedar Point, and we had a fantastic stay. The hotel was very clean and welcoming, making us feel comfortable right from the start. Although the room was a bit small, we made it work comfortably for our family. One of the highlights was the outdoor pool, which was large and fun, complete with a slide and Jacuzzi — perfect for relaxing after a day at the amusement park. Overall, it was a great place to stay, and we enjoyed our time in Sandusky. We would definitely recommend it to other families visiting Cedar Point!
