Sandusky and related destinations

Scream with delight on Cedar Point's legendary roller coasters, where thrill-seekers find their paradise along Lake Erie's shores. The Merry-Go-Round Museum offers a whimsical journey through carousel history when your stomach needs a break from loop-de-loops. Kayak the bay's calm waters or fish off the downtown pier where locals claim winter brings the best catches. The surprisingly pretty downtown waterfront invites leisurely exploration between adrenaline rushes. For water-based fun without waves, Kalahari Waterpark Resort and Cedar Point Shores create artificial summers year-round. Ghostly Manor Thrill Center delivers haunted house chills without seasonal restrictions, while Maritime Museum chronicles the lake's sometimes treacherous relationship with those who've navigated its waters.

"Great location for cedar point. Easy no contact check in and check out. Very quick response to any questions or needs we had. Room was clean, but being close to the lake does mean that there are bugs, especially with the doors being open to the outside. Would stay again if coming back to the area."

"Very friendly staff and clean facility. At times, not all of the attractions were open due to staffing, but they were willing to give vouchers for other activities in the hotel. I wish there was a coffee maker in the rooms, but they did have Starbucks coffee in the lobby which was very good! I loved that it did not seem overly crowded and they had so much to do there! So convenient being close to Cedar Point and able to get in an hour early and ride roller coasters before the lines got long! Would highly recommend a Bay view window it was so nice!"

10/10 Excellent
"We just needed a place to crash after a long day at the park. Check in was a breeze, room was clean and spacious, beds were comfy and the best part was the lady at breakfast. She was on POINT with everything. So friendly, and attentive. She seriously made the stay for sure. And breakfast checked off our boxes to start the next day."

"The rooms were nice, clean big enough for our family of 5. The bathroom felt bigger than most hotel rooms which was nice. The pool is tiny and we didn't use it but still nice that they have one. The breakfast had nice variety and satisfied everyone. We would recommend this hotel to others."
