I like that it was affordable and the staff was very friendly and easy to work with. The parking was very easy. The location was perfect for shopping and close to cedar point. The only thing I think could use fixing would be the cleanliness, it's a little outdated but other than that it's an okay hotel.

The roon was clean for the most part. We cpuldnt open the door to the bathroom all the way becauze it hit the toilet. Also, the door locking mechanism was broke and the door had to be forced open and shut. Otherwise amazing!
This is our go to hotel when we stay in Sandusky. Overall we enjoy staying here but this past time we had problems with all of the smokers around the building both by the entrances and then outside of our ‘nonsmoking’ room. Every time we go there is always someone sitting under the Porte-cochère smoking and you have to walk through their second hand smoke to get to the office. Then we were relaxing in our room and all of the sudden we hear someone outside of our room hacking up a lung and our room filled up with cigarette smoke. My husband is asthmatic, and he could barely even breathe. By the time we went out to say something they were gone, so I moved to the cigarette ashtray down the way. And we opened up the door to air it out. About 20 minutes later it was a different guy out there smoking in our room began to fill with smoke again. We went out and asked him to move down and he did. Then this morning we went out again and there was a different guy out smoking. We checked out and walked outside, and the area out under the Porte-cochère and again it was filled with smoke.
Please, please, please create a smoking area away from the building and encourage your guests to comply.
The hotel and rooms are definitely outdated, and yet a blast from the past, however for the price and size of our room, can’t beat it! Great service too!

Close to cedar point. Friendly staff. It’s not a five star hotel but it’s fine for the price.
The parking didn't look safe and everything was dirty and not clean especially the beds all around was scared to even sleep on them. The showers and toilets were dirty was scared to use that. The pictures are very deceiving. Nothing worked either. The door locks were crooked and looked like those house locks that you enter a code on. It was hot and humid. Spiders everywhere.
Renovation in progress, friendly staff, short drive to Cedar Point Sports Center avoiding railroad crossing. There was no fridge in the room, but staff brought one for us. Kids enjoyed large outdoor pool.

We booked a room at the very last minute and it was well worth the $80. Yes it’s an old hotel but it was clean, service was friendly and we were happy with our stay.
