The hotel is very tired. I guess you do tend to get what you pay for (and it was by far the cheapest accommodation I could book at the time). BUT, the bed was comfortable, the bedding and towels were clean and the new owners did everything they could to look after me and told me of their refurbishment plans for the future. I wish them every success

It was a cheap room, so I got what I expected. It wasn't DIRTY in the room, but it was dingy, no apparent updates in half a century. The noise pollution from outside is pretty bad - train woke us up many times. Prp: close as heck to Cedar Point.

Its in Sandusky...so it aint their fault the area is rundown and sketchy as all of Sandusky is. For the price, it was great...clean..close to C.P....and the gentleman running the place was gracious and appreciative. Its old and beat up...but if your in town for C.P. its perfect...if your at the park all day and just need a cheap place to crash I suggest you stay here and spend the money you saved on a Fast Lane Plus pass. Will definately stay here again.

Tv was really small and it says free hbo and wifi but the tv would not change channels and the wifi sucked so bad u could'nt use it. There was a weird smell through out the building. When we got to our room there was a little ant on our bed. The lady at the front desk was very nice. Over all probably wont use that hotel ever again.

I like that it was affordable and the staff was very friendly and easy to work with. The parking was very easy. The location was perfect for shopping and close to cedar point. The only thing I think could use fixing would be the cleanliness, it's a little outdated but other than that it's an okay hotel.
