I’m normally a 5 star get the review over with kinda guy but…
The beds felt like sleeping on concrete. The room was clean. The door leading to the outside was very flimsy and the door trim was not sturdy at all. We had a light bulb out in our room. Pretty sketchy to say the least. DEFINITELY not worth the $600 dollars I spent on 4 travelers, 2 rooms.

Overall our stay was good. We enjoyed having Cedar Point just a few minutes away. The only issue we really encountered was the fact that the tile floor was extremely cold & always had condensation on it. Both my kids almost slipped & fell on the wet floor.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Pool slide was great, overall property condition was a bit below average IMO…
Friendly service. However, they wanted to charge me $25 to check in 1 hour early. The property is a little dated but everything was in good shape and in good working order.

Very clean rooms a little outdated for the price but still a nice place to sleep after a long day at cedar point.
Pleasantly surprised to have been a late night last minute booking. Staff was extremely helpful, courteous and welcoming. Room clean and comfortable. Property conveniently located to Cedar Point. Will definitely stay again.
The staff are welcoming, but the hotel is overpriced considering it’s facilities and the rooms status. Like there is basically nothing in the hotel, the rooms are outside.
Everything was fantastic. From the cleanliness of the room down to the employees. The free breakfast was great and delicious. The rooms were clean and the beds were soooo comfortable . I will definitely stay there again when I am in Sandusky.
Super friendly staff!! Room was clean and quiet too. I requested the bottom floor which we received. Super close to Cedar Point and even received bottled water from the front desk clerk! Will definitely stay again!!
Stayed the night while visiting cedar point. The room was clean and the beds were so comfy. It was quite in the evening too. The pool was a little cold, but good for a hot day. The hot tub was way too hot, like burned my skin. I could cook pasta in the water. It was crazy hot. The room does come with a mini fridge and microwave. There are vending machines and free breakfast.
Very conveniently located, especially since we were going to Cedar point. For the price, we definitely felt like it was worth it. The rooms were comfortable, the pool was nice, and the surprise continental breakfast was good as well.

We stayed here just for a place to sleep after cedar point. We were only checked in for a total of 7 hours but what we did see was all good. Staff was friendly when we checked in and checked out. Offered a small breakfast but nice to have something. Only bad side was beds were slightly too firm.
