We have stayed at South Shore when traveling to Cedar Point twice now. Both times have been absolutely lovely. The rooms are clean and well maintained. Very comfortable beds. The grounds are well kept. The pool is spotless. The staff is very polite and welcoming. Absolutely the best customer service. The price is by far the best for the quality of the room and service. 10/10 will always recommend.
