We’ve stayed at anchor inn two different times. It’s the perfect size for a family of four. Our recent visit to Cedar point, we stayed at a different resort and I wish we would have stayed at Anchor Bay Inn instead…

The room was clean and very convenient to things in the area. I fished a tournament out of Sandusky and there was plenty of room for the truck/boat and electrical plugs to charge batteries

So stayed here!

It was a good location. I was a little worried at first being a solo traveler as there weren’t many guests there, but it filled up after a while. The room was clean and there were extra towels in the cabinet.

Good Value and Close enough

Close enough to Cedar Pointe. Smaller so no amenities but perfect for just recharging to ride coasters the next day. Recent updates, streaming and comfortable beds. Our shower curtain could have used a good wash and bathroom walls could have been wiped down better, but overall pretty good.

Decent but not worth the money.

Decent hotel. Super small but serves the purpose. Attempted to check in from the lot and Verizon cell service was non existent so had to drive all over to find a signal. Room is decent and clean but not worth the money. Bed squeaks so bad everytime u move it is so loud it woke up my wife. Location is good. Would stay again if they replace the mattress and cut the price in half.

The location is in a good area, the place is quiet, and stores are not far away. The only problems I had was the room had so many spider webs and spiders like it hasn’t been dusted in a while. There is no sink in the kitchen area which wasn’t a big problem, but would have been more convenient.
