So pleased with our stay. Very neat and comfortable. Continental breakfast included was the best continental I’ve had. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will be back for next Great Lakes Tournament at Cedar Point Center! They had pool for kids with a slide. Swings and grilling area with picnic tables. Priced very affordable! Thank you South Shore Inn

Overall our stay was good. We enjoyed having Cedar Point just a few minutes away. The only issue we really encountered was the fact that the tile floor was extremely cold & always had condensation on it. Both my kids almost slipped & fell on the wet floor.

Perfect stay for a family trip. Spotlessly clean, super helpful staff, beautiful garden, fun outdoor pool. Not luxurious, but had absolutely everything we needed. Very well maintained. Excellent price. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Sandusky.

Super freindly staff. Breakfast was free, pretty limited. Pool was clean with slides for the kids. Rooms are dated but kept really clean. It was $100 cheaper than breakers express and right around the corner from cedar point! I would stay here again

The property was great for our family while we visited Cedar Point. Breakfast was adequate and staff were very friendly. Room showed its age but we were very happy with the comforts provided. We wished for a coffee maker in our room but the lobby area had a nice machine with everything we needed. Special thanks to the lovely lady in Breakfast area… she took great care to maintain a fully stocked selection of items for the guests

Surprisingly well maintained motel. Room was updated in all the important ways - bathroom fixtures all new, memory foam beds, good A/C - and the older furnishings were all well maintained for their age. Beautiful pool area with waterslide and hot tub. The motel seemed quite full, with many families staying for Cedar Point. We've stayed many places in the area, but this will now be our go-to.
