Top Merry-Go-Round Museum Hotel Reviews

Cedar Point's Castaway Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

Hotel Kilbourne Downtown Sandusky

8/10 Good

"We reserved the Loft Mini-Suite. It was a large suite that included a wet bar, espresso machine, alcohol and snack items for purchase, a king size bed, a large bathroom and shower and an outdoor balcony. It was a great home base while visiting family and friends in the area."

The Washington Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything was very nice and clean. It would have 5 stars all the way around, but there was no closet or dresser to place your clothes. We stayed there for a week and had to use the hooks in the kitchen/dining room to hang clothing. We also wanted to put the dishes in the dishwasher the night before we checked out, but the dishwasher did not power up. Other than that....it was a beautiful property and it made our Cedar Point trip that much better."
