Our family of four recently visited Sandusky for a trip to Cedar Point, and we had a fantastic stay. The hotel was very clean and welcoming, making us feel comfortable right from the start. Although the room was a bit small, we made it work comfortably for our family. One of the highlights was the outdoor pool, which was large and fun, complete with a slide and Jacuzzi — perfect for relaxing after a day at the amusement park. Overall, it was a great place to stay, and we enjoyed our time in Sandusky. We would definitely recommend it to other families visiting Cedar Point!

The people that own this property are family along with some staff that have been there for many years. They were all so kind. We were sent to a lovely room with 2 super comfortable beds. The beautiful pool was right outside our door where we swam til almost 11pm. The breakfast was so nice and we met Bonnie who took care of everything in the dining room. It was spotless and such great hospitality given by Bonnie. Shout out to her and her sister who was cleaning rooms. Everyone and their smiles made the stay so pleasant. Thanks for a great stay.
