What Our Guests Are Saying

"Immaculately clean. Very friendly staff. Our last minute booking was easily accommodated with a ready room earlier than the listed check in. Beautiful pool area - the cleanest I've seen of any hotel stays. This is an older, independently owned hotel and a refreshing stay compared to a generic big brand hotel stay that I usually book. Our room was so quiet with a very comfy bed and large, clean bathroom. I will definitely book here again."

"We were here for a baseball tournament and Cedar Point. It was perfect - relaxed and friendly vibe with extraordinary customer service. The staff was so helpful for our group from front desk, to breakfast to housekeeping. Everyone was wonderful. The pool was great and the BBQ area we loved. We will definitely be back!"

"We stayed here last week for our visit to Cedar Point. Booking direct with the hotel was easy. The rooms were very clean, very convenient to the park, the breakfast was good, the coffee was good, the rooms were very affordable, easy to get to from the airport. Staff was friendly and helpful. No issues during our stay. I would definitely stay here again!!"

"Clean, comfortable, and friendly. Honestly, no complaints. It's not a 5 star resort, but this property is budget friendly and independently owned - it had everything we needed while in town for a quick two night visit. The outdoor pool and hot tub were by far our favourite part of this property. The pool area, along with the rest of the grounds, were kept extremely clean and well maintained. There is a lovely seating area with string lights and picnic tables on the property as well. The staff were friendly, a basic breakfast was included, and the rooms were clean and comfortable."

"Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and grounds well maintained. I will definitely stay here in the future."

"Beautiful inn !!! If you've ever seen Gilmore Girls it reminds me of the Independence Inn. Everything was gorgeous and it was such a pretty place to stay. Staff was nice, hotel room was clean, and the front desk even had additional toiletries for us since we forgot some. My only complaint is the walls are very thin and the family beside us was very loud which is out of the inn's control. Breakfast was great!!! I loved it here and would definitely come back!"

"We truly enjoyed our whole stay from the moment we arrived! Everyone there was always so helpful and had a smile on their face. The rooms were just perfect for our family of 6 and the kids LOVED the pool. The water was warm and the hot tub is connected to the pool which makes it easy for parents to be right there and still enjoy the hot tub. The kids really enjoyed the breakfast and there was always fresh fruit to choose from. As for Cedar Point, you can't beat the price for how close you are to the park, it's so quick to get there and get back!"

"The kids loved the pool and going down the slides together, and the swings. The beds were very comfy and I slept great. There was also a patio/picnic area with grills and picnic tables. Zil was very nice and helped us out."

"Overall great place to stay! Prime location to Cedar Point, and affordable cost! Great guest service, complimentary water for everyone upon checking in, and at check out! We'll definitely stay here again in the future!"

"We stayed here for our annual Cedar Point trip and it was fantastic! The hotel is super close to the park, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The pool area was great for the kids after a long day at the park. Will definitely be back next summer!"

"Our family of five had a wonderful stay. The two-room suite gave us plenty of space and the kitchen was a huge money saver. The complimentary breakfast was a nice touch. Staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed."

"Exactly what we needed for our weekend getaway. The room was spotless, bed was comfortable, and check-in was a breeze. Being so close to Cedar Point and Lake Erie made it easy to enjoy all the attractions. Highly recommend!"

"Good hotel for the price. Rooms are clean and the location is unbeatable if you are visiting Cedar Point. Pool was fun for the kids. Would have given 5 stars but the breakfast could be improved. Overall a solid choice."

"The front desk staff was exceptional - so welcoming and helpful with recommendations for local restaurants. Our poolside room was perfect and the kids loved having direct pool access. This is our third year staying here and we keep coming back for a reason!"

"We had a great time at the South Shore Inn for our trip to Cedar Point! It was super close to the park (less than 5 min drive!) and perfect for our family of 4. The kids (ages 11 and 12) loved the pool and the slide was an awesome extra! So refreshing after a hot day at cedar point! We loved the basketball hoop too. Rooms were good with fridge and microwave and everything we needed. Nice and cool in the 90 degree weather too! All in all a great stay!! Our key got deactivated in our magnetic wallet so watch out for that. Breakfast was good with a pancake maker and hot coffee!!! We would definitely come back!"

"Best hotel near Cedar Point! Clean rooms, friendly staff, great pool for the kids. The location is perfect - just minutes from the park. We come back every summer and it never disappoints. Highly recommend the poolside suites for families."

"Excellent value for money. The rooms were clean and well-maintained. Staff was very accommodating and check-in was quick and easy. The free WiFi worked great and the continental breakfast was a nice bonus. Will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Sandusky."

"Perfect spot for our Cedar Point adventure! Room was spotless, pool was great, and the location cannot be beat. The family suite was spacious enough for all 6 of us. Staff remembered us from last year and made us feel right at home. This is our go-to hotel for Sandusky!"
