Sandusky Trip
I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the hotel and our room. The carpet needed to be vacuumed, I found hairs on the bedding, maid service did not stop to provide clean towels or empty the trash, there were no ice machines on any of the floors except for the first floor.

Wonderful warm greeting from Ashley and quick check-in. The room had everything we needed. Comfortable bed. Great breakfast, with cinnamon buns served from the tin they were baked in. Good dinner places nearby. Across the street is Castaway Bay and the pretty Castaway indoor waterpark building.

The staff was the friendliest and it was even late at night ... also the hotel was one of the best Ive stayed at near Cedar Point! The room was nice and their little convenience store in the lobby was awesome so we didnt have to try to go to the store. There's a restaurant right next door if we wanted to check that out too! The complimentary breakfast was really good too!

Family Trip to Cedar Point
Right down the road from the main Cedar Point entrance. Very convenient. Clean room, friendly staff, and breakfast was available right up to our check out time.

I have stayed here previously and was looking forward to returning as I had an excellent experience before. Unfortunately, it did not meet those expectations this time around. First the good: staff was amazing and helpful, plenty of restaurants nearby, and as close to Cedar Point as you can get without staying "on property". The bad: the rooms definitely need a refresh. Not enough outlets/usb ports for today's traveler. The shower/bathroom could have used a bit more cleaning as there was hair in the shower and on the floor. In my previous visit, breakfast was a highlight. This time, it was just okay. Typical liquid eggs, bacon, sausage, which isn't bad but I was looking forward to the turkey sausage and omelets from before. Definitely appreciated the kosher options for breakfast meat and was sad to see it gone. Fresh fruit, waffles, breakfast pastries, cereal, oatmeal were also available so we made due. Also, we received a little "welcome to Holiday Inn Express" package last time as well and that was not the case this visit. Overall: a good stay but definitely miss the previous breakfast options and the little touches that made last visit special. Would stay here again, however, for the convenience. Pro-tip for anyone booking: there is another set of elevators if you walk past the first elevator, past the indoor pool, you can't miss them!
