Top Sandusky Hotel Reviews

Cedar Cove

10/10 Excellent

"We found this hotel almost last minute. There were 2 major get-togethers in Sandusky when we were there (Bike Week and ColossalCon Prime). The hotel had lots of cars in the parking lot, but the noise level was never out of control. Beds were comfy enough. The room we had was spacious. Breakfast was included. It was also convenient to most other stuff in Sandusky. We'll stay there again next year if we can!"

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Sandusky near Cedar Point

8/10 Good

"It wasn’t as bad as the reviews make it seem! It’s an older building for sure, but it was pretty clean for the most part. The worst thing I could say is one of our beds had a huge stain on the comforter, and the breakfast could have had a little more variety, but it wasn’t bad at all!!!!!"

South Shore Inn

8/10 Good

"I'll start off by saying a trip to a place like Cedar Point requires only a place to shower and lay our heads. With that being said what I noticed during my stay was: Pros: -the staff was very friendly - it's a motel so you are able to park right outside of your door - upon entering our room, it was very clean and smelled fresh - does offer complimentary breakfast that included pancakes, gas station style donuts and muffins, oatmeal, yogurt, ect. No eggs, bacon or anything like that. - didn't use the pool but it is directly in the center of the courtyard and gets plenty of sun and had 2 decent little water slide for the kids - very close to CP and can walk to places like Famous Dave's & Thirsty Pony - Vending Machines were well stocked and ice machine worked as should Only con I could think of was the shower head sat at about 65" (5'5") so me being 5'10" and crouching under the shower head and could only imagine what a 6'4" + would have to do. Would stay here again"

Cedar Point's Castaway Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Check in went smoothly and the room was clean upon arrival. We were on the 1st floor near the waterpark so it was pretty ideal. My only complaint is that during the week the slides, water coaster and hot tub were closed. There was still a few things to do but the main attractions were closed so we chose to skip it the last couple of days during our stay. Being this close to Cedar Point with the option of an indoor waterpark for the rain days is super ideal."
