Top Kelleys Island Hotel Reviews
Cedar Point's Hotel Breakers
"Perfect place, walk out door to park head back to room for a break and head back out to the park. Parked my car and never moved it until I checked out."
The Wave at Marblehead

Quality Inn & Suites Sandusky
"It was very easy to book this hotel."
Kelleys Island Venture Resort
"Requested a first floor room which was accommodated. Nice room with somewhat hard but comfortable bed. No complaints, staff was helpful"
Motel 6 Huron, OH - Sandusky
"The location was quiet and not busy. Our room had a fridge and microwave which was nice! It was spacious and clean. The bed was not the most comfortable, but after full days at Cedar Point I was exhausted and slept through the nights. Everything was a little outdated, but all in all we would definitely stay there again! I forgot there was a pool and did not pack swim suits so we did not check that out. I do wish they had some type of breakfast, but since I knew beforehand that they did not and we were going to have the fridge and microwave, I brought some breakfast items."
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Sandusky by IHG
"Only 1 complaint and that was not getting fresh towels and toilet paper when I had requested for my room to be freshened up."
Avalon Inn
"The room was exceptionally kept. Looked like they were remodeling some rooms but it was quiet and well maintained. The beds were so comfortable and the hot water was amazing after a long day of soccer games. Would definitely stay when I come back."

"Room was clean and great for the weekend. The microwave was a great help. Breakfast was simple but did the job of feeding hungry kids!"
