EXTREMELY Pricey for a tiny, no frills room with the smallest bathroom I've ever tried to shower, etc. in! That said, the property staff was VERY nice and Welcoming. She really made it easier for me to overlook the negative for the one night we stayed.

Quaint, Simple, Efficient
This quaint motel right on the bay was just what I expected. Efficient. Had all we needed for our overnight stay. We loved the view of the bay. Jonathan recommended Rayz on the Bay for dinner. Within walking distance we enjoyed taking in all this quiet beautiful area has to offer. This motel is not a new and spacious place. But if you’re looking to enjoy the Bay and step back in time to simplicity, this place is for you! We would stay again!

Great place -- clean, comfortable, and quiet
This is a great place on Lake Erie. It's comfortable, clean and quiet. The owner was very friendly and accommodating -- she was there when we needed her but not intrusive. The room was recently remodeled, everything in perfect order and thoughtfully designed and laid out. Generous treats and coffee, even treats for the pups. Will definitely stay here again!

The Cedar Motel is a hidden gem in the Sandusky Bay Area. Clean, cozy, and close to all attractions while still being off the beaten path in a unique location on the peninsula.

Perfect little stay out of the limelight
This is a quiet little off the beaten path place to stay. If you are high maintenance, this place is not for you. But if you appreciate the finer things in life, this inn is awesome. The service is great, owner is suoer sweet. Communication was great! Right across from Sandusky Bay, evening fire pit and tiki torch area. Really a cute place! I would absolutely stay here again!

We were here for the solar eclipse and what a hidden gem on the bay. Close enough to Sandusky and Port Clinton but just far enough away from a hustle and bustle! We couldn’t have chosen a better place! Saundra and her sons were delightful and hospitable the whole time. We enjoyed their firepit, nice snacks comfortable room with all we needed for a great experience to view the eclipse. Two restaurants within walking distance. Would stay again if ever in the area!
