South Shore Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We loved it!"

Cedar Point's Castaway Bay

8/10 Good

"Over all my experience was amazing. The only downside was that half the water park was shutdown because of low staff. So unfortunately we did not get to enjoy the whole Waterpark. Would have been nice to know this before I drive an hour to stay for my daughter's birthday."

Comfort Inn Sandusky

10/10 Excellent

"The room was nice and clean. Really liked that the shower and toilet were separate from the sink and mirror, it helps when a couple people are trying to get ready at once. The breakfasted also great and the breakfast room was spacious. I would definitely recommend to others."
