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.

The tv didn’t work. Couldn’t link to the cable box. But the room was clean the breakfast was good. Great location. In fairness I didn’t tell the front desk about the tv cause I was so tired it didn’t matter. All in all it was fine.

This was the best budget motel i have ever stayed at. It was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The staff was professional. The breakfast tables got cleaned as soon as someone left so you didn’t have to choose which table had the fewest crumbs. This will be my go to when i visit Cedar Point.

You can tell the owners and staff take pride in their motel. It's an older place, but rooms were clean and well maintained. Great location and close to Cedar Point. The breakfast was a nice bonus. I met the lady that works it and she was so nice. Would definitely stay again!

So the manager was very cranky even other people mentioned that. Not helpful at all. There was a constant leak or drip from the overhang entering the room. There was a fridge there was updated bathroom those were the good things. Couldn't pull the curtain all the way shut it was a huge gap people could see in. It was a place to stay fairly clean ... Price fit the room. If you're just looking for a place to stay it's okay.

Quiet, convenient location. Breakfast was far below expectation. Staff was mostly courteous. Desk personnel, at check-in and check-out, seemed to be bothered by the interruption of a guest requesting their attention.
