Just okay, expected a lot better for the price. The reviews were really good so I was a little confused. The musty smell was horrible, I felt like I smelled like it when we left. The room was way smaller than the pictures looked. It was really hot, and they had a window unit so it took until about 2 am to cool off. I will say it was cleaned well except for 2 hairs on the shower wall, so I'm not sure that was cleaned.

We were in sandusky for a weekend softball tournament. The room was very nice with the perfect amount of amenities and we loved having 2 full bathrooms. There is nothing on site though. No laundry, vending, office etc. The owners were very easy to contact if you needed something but otherwise it was just you and your room. Very quiet area.
