The continental breakfast was terrible. No waffle maker, just a pancake machine that made cardboard like pancakes. No meats or warm eggs. Cold boiled eggs in a refrigerator only. Coffee machine also terrible. The highlight of their breakfast was a banana The maid didn’t even pick up used towels from the floor or make beds. Maid service was leaving a few new towels and emptying the garbage can. Otherwise I wouldn’t have known anyone was in the room at all. The train nearby goes through all hours of the night. Beware!

Clean and comfortable room. Plenty of space and quiet. Within short walking distance of restaurants. 5 mins from Cedar Point. Breakfast was good with standard complimentary fair. Only complaint would be the Coffee. Instant out of a machine instead of fresh brewed in the morning.

Solid place

Very nice little place. SUPER close to Cedar Point, front desk people were very nice. They actively keep the pool area and stuff very clean. It feels very safe. Room feels a little dated but thats ok. It is very clean and it has AC so after a long day at the park thats ok

One of the better Sandusky hotels

The hotel is great. It’s classic and charming and well-kept. The rooms were clean, updated, and comfortable. However, we accidentally left some things in the room and it’s been an impossibility to reach someone at the hotel to try to get them back. Either you get an offsite reservation center or no one answers the phone at the hotel.

One of our favorite places to stay

We stay here about every time we go to cedar point. The nicest group runs this place-the pool is a hit with the kids-nice hot tub for the parents. Never had an issue, breakfast is fine, two thumbs up all the way for a great mom and pop hotel ❤️

Room was comfortable and free of smells and bugs. Pool was fun and entertaining. Breakfast was delicious they offered pancakes, different breads and muffins, yogurts, cereal, oatmeal, and hard boiled eggs. Coffee OJ and apple juice were delicious too. Room AC blew so cold and you could feel it across the room 10/10 will be staying again
