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.

This place is an excellent value for anyone needing a place to sleep before or after visiting cedar point! The rooms are very clean and comfortable, the breakfast has plenty of cold and hot options and friendly service, and we had nothing but great service from the front desk who were even able to find my son’s watch he left in the room and hold it for us! For the price it is clearly not going to be a luxury resort but it is the perfect spot to get some rest just a couple of blocks from the entry to Cedar Point!!!

Travelled with family and small children
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Pros: free ample parking, affordable rate, beds were ok. Cons: dirty, property and rooms were not well maintained, with unfinished detailing, and smelled. Bugs easily can enter room (no screen door). Also, window only had one blackout curtain that doesn’t fully cover window. If you wanted light in your room, you had to sacrifice your privacy because there was no other privacy curtain. Staff were hit or miss. Was not offered basic information upon check in such as times continental breakfast was offered and where, internet access, room key sensitivity to magnets, etc. One did offer us some water, which was nice. Was placed in a higher floor room and when asked for another room that didn’t require us to climb stairs, was told that all rooms were accounted for, however I noted multiple empty rooms that were left unoccupied all night. Check out staff member made me feel like I was disturbing him. Was a cheap stay, but honestly you get what you pay for. Would definitely never stay here again.
