We’ve stayed at anchor inn two different times. It’s the perfect size for a family of four. Our recent visit to Cedar point, we stayed at a different resort and I wish we would have stayed at Anchor Bay Inn instead…

So stayed here!

It was a good location. I was a little worried at first being a solo traveler as there weren’t many guests there, but it filled up after a while. The room was clean and there were extra towels in the cabinet.

Weekend get away

We stayed at Anchor Bay for two nights! It was a great stay. Clean, bed was comfy, small appliances made it nice, and streaming on the tv. It was close to the highway for easy travel to surrounding cities. Lots of good restaurants in Sandusky to check out. We would definitely stay again!
