Staff was friendly. Rooms are outdated but clean enough. I would stay the night again when we come back to cedar point.
A very good place to stay on a budget if planning to visit Cedar Point, as it’s located not far from the park. About a 10 minute drive. So very convenient. Staff was very friendly. Definitely would stay there again if I go back.

Older hotel, but clean bedding and towels. Staff was excellent.
Overall a very good budget pick for the Sandusky area. Staff were very nice and I enjoyed staying here. Not the cleanest, but that's what you get for the price.
I would rather stay at this local business than a corporate chain anyway. I will be staying here again!
Definitely a hidden gem. You don’t think your
Going to walk into what you get with the look of it from the outside. The rooms were
Clean and spacious and a full size refrigerator ! The lobby is so pretty
Vintage couture vibes !
Not a bad place overall.
The room was very clean and the A/C was ice cold. This place was cheaper than most other places I saw while also being close to cedar point. The front desk lady was polite and helpful too.
But,
1) the wifi was terrible. It struggled to load even one page. To be honest, i had to rely on my phones data plan almost entirely.
2) the bathroom door in our room also didn’t close fully.
3) The toilet at one point didn’t flush. Had to wait for like an hour then try again.
For the price, not bad overall but, as I said, definitely some cons.
The hotel and rooms are definitely outdated, and yet a blast from the past, however for the price and size of our room, can’t beat it! Great service too!
