Perfect for a one night stay near Sandusky area! The hotel is not fancy by any means but the beds were completely fine/clean. The bathroom was just ok. They would benefit a lot from simple updates like new shower hooks/liners. Staff was very kind, and no issues with bringing our dogs with us

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Dirty room, animal hair everywhere, dirty socks on floor, said breakfast was 7-930am, but note on door said was closed at 8am when we went. The staff "upgraded" us to a family room but it was actually a downgrade from 2 queens toba king with a pullout couch that was not comfortable or clean. Was cheap, you pay what you get sometimes.
Animal hair all over linens
