Great 1 night stay!

Even though I’m 5’4”, the shower head was still too short for me and required me to squat when showering. Otherwise, great renovated place to stay!

This was a clean room with easy self check in. When we were the only ones in the building, we got upgraded free of charge which was kind of them. It was a perfect stay for two adults taking a weekend away from the kids. There was a bit of noise pollution, which is the only reason for the four stars on the "area around the property"

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.
