Solid place

Very nice little place. SUPER close to Cedar Point, front desk people were very nice. They actively keep the pool area and stuff very clean. It feels very safe. Room feels a little dated but thats ok. It is very clean and it has AC so after a long day at the park thats ok

One of the better Sandusky hotels

The hotel is great. It’s classic and charming and well-kept. The rooms were clean, updated, and comfortable. However, we accidentally left some things in the room and it’s been an impossibility to reach someone at the hotel to try to get them back. Either you get an offsite reservation center or no one answers the phone at the hotel.

One of our favorite places to stay

We stay here about every time we go to cedar point. The nicest group runs this place-the pool is a hit with the kids-nice hot tub for the parents. Never had an issue, breakfast is fine, two thumbs up all the way for a great mom and pop hotel ❤️

Room was comfortable and free of smells and bugs. Pool was fun and entertaining. Breakfast was delicious they offered pancakes, different breads and muffins, yogurts, cereal, oatmeal, and hard boiled eggs. Coffee OJ and apple juice were delicious too. Room AC blew so cold and you could feel it across the room 10/10 will be staying again

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.
