Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is conveniently located close to Cedar Point and other Sandusky tourist sites, making it a great choice for its value. The rooms are decent for the price, but there were minor issues with reservations. The friendly service adds to the positive experience, although there were oversights in housekeeping. The breakfast selection is satisfactory, reminiscent of standard hotel offerings. The location is a major highlight with easy access to dining options and nearby attractions.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is unbeatable for Cedar Point trips and offers lots of family fun, but the room wasn't as cool as I'd have liked even with the AC on the coolest setting. The service was friendly but missed a few details from the previous guest. The dining was decent but not consistent, and the facilities were fair.
The hotel is in a great location, just down the road from Cedar Point, extremely clean, and very close to attractions. The rooms were a little older but perfectly comfortable and clean. The staff was friendly and understanding, ensuring a positive experience despite a small misunderstanding. The dining experience was fairly basic but acceptable. It's a value for money choice with convenient facilities.
The hotel rooms were roomy and comfortable with plenty of seating, but I found the wall dispensers instead of individual shampoos and conditioners to be unpleasant. The kitchenette was a nice addition, but there was a noticeable smell. The service was quick and very friendly, making my stay enjoyable. The location was outstanding, close to Cedar Point and various restaurants, though the smell in the room was a minor downside. The dining options were delicious but limited, with a classic continental feel that could use longer opening hours. The facilities were modern and clean, providing a satisfactory experience overall.
