The hotel was great for our needs, which was going to Cedar Point. Rooms were very nice and we alos enjoyed the pool area. Breakfast was a solid continental breakfast with pancakes. My son forgot his Beats Ear Bud and they were great at getting it back to us in another state. Can't ask for more than that with our great stay. Thank you! Would defintiely stay again!

Cedar point visit

Was spending time at cedar point and for the price is a really good place to stay. Friendly staff and close to the park. Neighbors was a little noisy but with bike week it wasn't bad! Great place!
John, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed 3 nights while visiting Cedar Point. Location was perfect to get to the park and the downtown area quickly. Older building, but dont be fooled it was very clean and comfortable for a family of 4. Pool and Hot tub area were a great place to gather at the end of the day. Breakfast was good each day!

Bike Week 2025

This hotel was very close to downtown Sandusky for bike week. The family run Hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. We loved the classic and vintage style of the Hotel. We will definitely stay here next year for Mike. We can recommend this place to our friends.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Location is very good. Room just ok. Room was smelly, bedding sheets on one bed had red spots, pillows were terrible. $25 charge if you want to check in before 4 p.m. Will not recomend.
Elena, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Aye-okay.

It was an okay trip. We stayed overnight during the holiday. Staff was very nice, very helpful. Cleanliness was good, continental breakfast was good. The bed was very hard and the pillows were uncomfortable. The main entry light was out so it was dark coming in until we could find the switch to the outside bathroom sink. The double sinks was a nice touch. Other than that, the stay was fine.

Charming, Clean, and Close to Cedar Point

The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. Room was reasonably priced and a good size, while being well maintained. A short trip to all enjoyable Sandusky attractions. Staff even called shortly after check out to inform about belongings left behind. Fully recommend!

Not too shabby!

Great place for the weekend. Cheaper option with a good breakfast for the kids if you dont want a restaurant style one. Kids had fun playing on swingset with other kids. Overall a great time regardless.
Debra, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It’s an older hotel that appears to have been renovated. It seems like other options in the area are also older. A nice feature was a well taken care of pool with slides and a hot tub, also a fire pit to make marshmallows. But maybe the best of all was the service. People running the hotel were very friendly and accommodating. Just a really nice atmosphere.

Great place for the money.

I went to Cedar Point. The pool and hot tub us what has kept me coming there. I was too early this time for those things. Everything was great. The staff is wonderful. Nice breakfast that was staffed by a very nice lady.
