The room was on ground level which was good for everyone in our group, we are older with health issues. The room was clean and comfortable. It was peaceful and quiet with no noise from the traffic or other patrons. We would definitely stay here again. Parking was right in front of our door.

Basic hotel off Hwy 2. The room was ok but the general condition of the hotel was run down and dated. No amenities were available other than ice not even coffee. Not suitable for multiple nights and limited dining options close by.

Perfect for a one night stay near Sandusky area! The hotel is not fancy by any means but the beds were completely fine/clean. The bathroom was just ok. They would benefit a lot from simple updates like new shower hooks/liners. Staff was very kind, and no issues with bringing our dogs with us
