Its in Sandusky...so it aint their fault the area is rundown and sketchy as all of Sandusky is. For the price, it was great...clean..close to C.P....and the gentleman running the place was gracious and appreciative. Its old and beat up...but if your in town for C.P. its perfect...if your at the park all day and just need a cheap place to crash I suggest you stay here and spend the money you saved on a Fast Lane Plus pass. Will definately stay here again.

Tv was really small and it says free hbo and wifi but the tv would not change channels and the wifi sucked so bad u could'nt use it. There was a weird smell through out the building. When we got to our room there was a little ant on our bed. The lady at the front desk was very nice. Over all probably wont use that hotel ever again.

I like that it was affordable and the staff was very friendly and easy to work with. The parking was very easy. The location was perfect for shopping and close to cedar point. The only thing I think could use fixing would be the cleanliness, it's a little outdated but other than that it's an okay hotel.

The roon was clean for the most part. We cpuldnt open the door to the bathroom all the way becauze it hit the toilet. Also, the door locking mechanism was broke and the door had to be forced open and shut. Otherwise amazing!

This is our go to hotel when we stay in Sandusky. Overall we enjoy staying here but this past time we had problems with all of the smokers around the building both by the entrances and then outside of our ‘nonsmoking’ room. Every time we go there is always someone sitting under the Porte-cochère smoking and you have to walk through their second hand smoke to get to the office. Then we were relaxing in our room and all of the sudden we hear someone outside of our room hacking up a lung and our room filled up with cigarette smoke. My husband is asthmatic, and he could barely even breathe. By the time we went out to say something they were gone, so I moved to the cigarette ashtray down the way. And we opened up the door to air it out. About 20 minutes later it was a different guy out there smoking in our room began to fill with smoke again. We went out and asked him to move down and he did. Then this morning we went out again and there was a different guy out smoking. We checked out and walked outside, and the area out under the Porte-cochère and again it was filled with smoke. Please, please, please create a smoking area away from the building and encourage your guests to comply.

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!

The parking didn't look safe and everything was dirty and not clean especially the beds all around was scared to even sleep on them. The showers and toilets were dirty was scared to use that. The pictures are very deceiving. Nothing worked either. The door locks were crooked and looked like those house locks that you enter a code on. It was hot and humid. Spiders everywhere.
