Great spot for value and convenience.

Great little place to stay when you're taking in Cedar Point for a couple of days. Continental breakfast is what you'd expect and had a cool pancake machine. Pool was great, kid loved the water slides. Staff was very friendly and always available. Location was great, close to all kinds of food options, activities and less that 10 mins from Cedar Point. Will definitely go back.

Great place to stay!!!

The staff is amazing and very nice. Every request we had they were able to help with. They brought extra pillows and blankets to our room when we asked. The room was very clean and tidy. The whole hotel smelled amazing. The pool and hot tub are very clean and relaxing. We will definitely be staying here again next time we go to Sandusky.

8/10 Very good

My son loved the pool and the slides. Service was great. Breakfast was small and didn't have a lot of options, but the pancakes were good and we appreciated the free breakfast. Our bed had a small spot that was dirty on the comforter, but it was late and we didn't want to make a big deal about it. The rest of the bed looked clean and the room looked clean. The mattress was uncomfortable. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
