"It was a great location to get to Cedar Point and back without the “high” price. Great breakfast, too!"

Quality Inn & Suites Sandusky

10/10 Excellent

"We knew we'd be late checking in, so I called in advance to let them know. They were very understanding and wrote a note in my account, as to not give away my room. I checked in around midnight and the person at the front desk was so friendly, personable and helpful! It was such a delight after a very long day! The room was clean and spacious. The bed seemed to be a double not a queen though. I completely picked this hotel based on wanting queen beds, not double. This did make a difference to our comfort, and may make a difference to yours as well. I did still give 5 stars because literally everything else about our stay was great. Breakfast was great as well. Waffle makers, scrambled eggs, sausage patties, various cereals, various breads with a toaster and several condiments to go along with the breads and waffles, and juice. I will keep this property in mind for next time."
