La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Sandusky near Cedar Point
"Nice clean spot close to everything you need."
Comfort Inn Sandusky
"It's a decent place for the cost, and being that close to cedar point and Sandusky really can't beat it."
South Shore Inn
"Fine stay, clean room although air conditioner didnโt work great. And there were children in the pool area unattended by any adult who were very very loud despite it being almost 11 PM and were rough housing and diving into the pool and climbing on top of the slide which was obviously not allowed and in and out of the hot tub they were obnoxious and multiple individuals made comments to them, but it didnโt help. I should have gone to the front desk."
Great Wolf Lodge Sandusky OH
"Really good location and fun for kids. Pool is great, lots to do."
