Vending machines empty and unplugged. Stairwell smelled AWFUL and full of plants. Lobby was not open in the middle of the day on a Saturday. No complimentary breakfast like advertised…. Only seasonal. Dining room itself was never open. Lights in room flickered and made noises. Tiny bathrooms.

This is a nice budget hotel during the Cedar Point season. However, in the off season it is a totally different place. The main lobby is locked all day and only rooms available have outdoor access only. Im not personally a fan of outside access rooms.

We were here with our family off season for a cheerleading competition at the Cedar Point event center, great cheap stay for just showering and sleeping, since it was off season in November the rooms don’t have any heat, it was chilly, and no breakfast off season too, I have no complaints just would have been nice to know since we had our kiddos with us, otherwise it’s comfortable safe and friendly

The good: I really like the alarm clock, it had 2 powerful and functional USB charging ports, 2 AC power outlets, and it worked as a Bluetooth speaker. The water stayed hot through many long showers. Breakfast was pretty good, not great, but good. Even had a pancake making machine. The bathroom sink's vanity mirror is massive and very nice. Appreciated the wall mounted lotion dispenser. The room had some updated tile in the bathroom area and the carpet seemed recently installed. The bad: We stayed in #211 and the wall shared with 210 is PAPER THIN. You can hear every conversation, laugh, and certainly every outburst. We even heard the loud kids in 209. The window heater/AC unit seems to funnel sounds right into the room. The affordability of this hotel seems to attract loud people. I am not saying that loud people or families with loud people don't spend more, but in Sandusky they like this hotel. The TRAIN! There seems to be a train passing about every 30 minutes in the morning. Even white noise didn't help The main door is hard to open, you have to shove it to get it. First time I through my door's lock was busted. The room seemed clean at first, but then cheese puffs and unwrapped hard candy were found just on the edge of the bed skirt. The bathroom walls had random human hairs. The room was mostly clean, but these items were missed. The TV's sound just randomly stops on all channels after about 20 to 40 minutes. Switching it on and off seems to be the only fix.
