Spent 2 nights, 3 days here in the king room. There was a microwave, tv, iron board/iron, a coffee pot with cups. Outlets on lamp are finicky. The location is conveniently close to Cedar point & has plenty of parking as the area is car dependent. If you don't get the dining plan at Cedar point, the usual big chains are nearby & Berardi's is a good local spot. Considering the price point, expect a bug sighting or 2 as the rooms lack ventilation and have a lingering mildew smell. The walls are thin so you will hear everything, don't reccommend if you're a light sleeper. The bed was comfy and the water pressure was strong. Check in was easy, attentive, and helpful.

Low Price Low Expectations

My stay was not up to expectations. When you first walk in, the floor tile is exquisite, which was on their photo. The staff was friendly. I was asked if the secknd floor would be okay. It doesn't have an elevator, so no. I'm older, disabled, and had 5 bags, 2 heavy. The hallway to the room smelled like air freshener. I had to figure out how to enter the door passcode. There was no refrigerator and need one for some meds and water. No maid service, which was fine. I had some sensitive items. The floor was filthy and dust was balled up between the bed and night stand. AC worked well. Light ballast in the bathroom was old and worked 50% of the time. People would hang around ouside the lobby and smoke. Plenty of parking but the lot is in poor condition. I didnt complain as i wasn't on vacation and price mattered since i was in town for 10 days.

Spend the money someplace else

I booked this based on all the good reviews on hotels.com and I was fooled. I pulled in and the hotel was very dark I thought I was at the roaring place it looked abandoned, checked in and got into the 1st room and it was gross to say the least stained carpets stained furniture lamp shade cracked ac unit cracked.....so I went down to ask for a broom that had been already refurbished because based on reviews I had read the hotel was being refurbished so they gave me another room that was considered a two-room suite that I entered from the outside and the digital locks that they had put on all the doors now this one was crooked and there was no interior way to deadbolt the door The second room that was considered the bedroom of this two-room suite had a portable air conditioning unit in it which seemed very odd to me. I woke up in the middle of the night to use the restroom and found that the toilet was broken and would not work So I woke up in the morning packed all my things went downstairs checked out as I was supposed to be staying there two days told the owner that the toilet didn't work and the room was not very nice and he asked what room I was in and I told him room 219 and his comment was oh that's one of the nice rooms. I don't know what he considers nice but obviously we have a different definition I had to check out and leave I could not stay there two nights.

There was blood on the sheets. There was holes in the wall, and it was just nasty and it smelt like pot. And the lady at the desk was rude.

The property was a little dirty and out dated, but it was good for us for just an overnight stay. The reception staff were friendly and attentive also!

Don't believe positive reviews

Don't believe positive reviews. The hotel is very outdated inside and out. Furniture in the room is old and in bad shape. Stains on carpet. Bathtub is also old and unappealing, water barely drains. They reemodel the lobby but forgot about the rest of the hotel.

Very basic. Very mediocre. Clean-ish, but very rundown. Felt like there was a layer of grime on everything. Room was quite dark without the blinds open, which was awkward on the ground level

Wifi was not accessible from the room. TV was not connected to the cable. There were used washclothes from the previous guest left in the room. I did not receive housekeeping during my stay. The outside stairs to the second floor were very unstable and felt like they could collapse soon. Decent location for a last minute booking to Ironman 70.3 Ohio, but it is in a rougher part of Sandusky. Would not recommend walking around this part of town after dark.
