Everything was fine. Sure, a tiny bit dated, but plenty clean and impossible to beat for the price. I accidentally booked for the wrong day and they fixed it. I would (and probably will) absolutely come back when visiting cedar point, as long as the secret doesn’t get out.

My boyfriend and I decided to go on an impromptu trip to Cedar Point, and wanted a cheap place to stay. Avalon Inn is really good for the price and was just what we needed. It's only a couple miles from the park, which is really nice as well. Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a cheap place to stay while visiting Cedar Point.

Staff are fantastic

Fantastic staff, friendly and hard working. For $50 I cannot complain. The room was very clean and the beds were clean and comfortable. The room was in need of many repairs and sprucing up but at this price point it is not a deal buster. If you need a good place to sleep after Cedar Point and are on a budget this is an excellent choice. Just expect very basic accommodations. The staff are what puts this place above any other hotel. They are working their best with limited workers. You can tell they work hard and want to please. I was happy to support them and wish them the best as they fix up the property. Give them a chance just don’t expect a five star royal room.

Just your average hotel

Hotel was decent, they definitely had some things to work on but was bug free and clean enough for me. Bed was comfy. Perfect hotel for a couple night stay. They do not have a maid yet i dont think, so you do have to ask for more towels if need be. Lock situation was a little sketchy but they work non the less.

The deadbolt on the door did not work. One of the light switches/lights in the room did not work. There were people sitting in cars late at night. Because this hotel is so close to an amusement park people are checking in late, but these people in several cars were there for long periods of time. Safety is a serious issue at this hotel. If it wasn't so late at night, I would have left. The desk staff were very pleasant though.

Check in was quick and easy. The staff member who checked me in (I forget his name; he was young with brown hair, a beard and nice smile) was very friendly. The room was nice with a full size fridge/freezer combo, microwave and coffee maker. The beds were very comfortable with fluffy pillows (I always need fluffy pillows when I sleep). The pool was normal sized and my son and I had it all to ourselves when we went to it. It was a little dirty with leaves and other debris floating and at the bottom of the pool. Even though the page says no breakfast, there was coffee and mini muffins in the lobby. Check out process was quick and easy as well. I would definitely stay here again if I needed a place to stay in Sandusky close to Cedar Point.

This place was perfect for the price we paid. The staff was incredibly friendly. The place needs some upgrades as it is very dated, but it was clean enough and you can tell the staff try their best to keep it looking great. It has a beautiful courtyard and a decent looking pool. If this place gets some updates and renovations, it will easily be a top tier hotel.

I usually will give this hotel five stars but they were not being very nice to my daughter you know sorry I was running a few minutes late picking her up giving she is grown but she does have a disability and she literally left about $75 worth of food in that room and they would not let her get it out because it was past 11:00 and they just were just being rude to her and that's not acceptable in my books
