+If you are looking for a quick stop near restaurants and Walmart than this is your place. -Just don't try to short cut a budget with things for your room because there are NO refrigerators or microwaves available. -The sound is touch and go meaning you hear your neighboring rooms and upstairs noise too depending on how loud they are. -/+The driveway could use a bit of help with patch jobs making things uneven for walking. +beds are comfortable -but have aluminum frames making them noisy no matter how light you brush the edge by walking around them. -the shower is a pod size that means tall or larger framed people will feel a bit more crowded. The toilet is an arm and a half length from the shower pad. Also the toilet tank is off balance so it shakes and rattles every time you sit down or stand up. read more

The check in process went smoothly. The beds were very comfortable. Hot water in the shower could have been hotter. The breakfast was adequate although very few choices. Microwaveable frozen breakfast sandwiches,Danish. Coffee was good and yogurt and fresh fruit was available. No frills but a very clean and comfortable place to stay. read more

Worst place ever.. booked a non smoking room and recieved a smoking room. TV didnt work.. room was dirty.. customer service terrible. I nicely said something about the room and the little things that were wrong in the room. Owner called me on the phone and kicked my family out at 12am forcing us to find a new hotel. He was mad because I complained about the room being smoking and things wrong with it. Threated to call police and kicked my family out. Owner is never there to talk to same staff at the front.. very rude.. I will never stay at a sleep in again .. I reported to bbb and to choice privilege company. Spend a little extra go to comfort in William was so helpful .. never again stay here read more

This place was horrible! We booked the family suite $400 btw and we checked in at 9:25PM. We went across the street to Sonic and a few blocks down to Chick-Fil-A and came back so our boys could swim. This is the first time we entered the room, upon discovering the filth and bodily fluids I went to the front desk. The clerk told me I could get new linens and cleaning supplies and clean my own room. She said the GM John said they won't refund our money because we didn't address the issue as soon as we checked in the hotel. Well we did, as soon as we accessed our room with all of our luggage and take out food in hand. Customer service was horrible and we will be submitting the photos and videos to the local health department. read more

Commitment to satisfaction is absolute a disgraceful statement to this abomination establishment. It was as if run by cavemen, the manager is so disrespectful and not willing to cooperate with his own customers. The staff is stubborn and enforce their goals to cash rather than status as they claim to be "booked out daily". The situation I ran into was I entered a room and for 5 minutes, I get the smell of mold and the reek of marijuana which gave me a headache. I cancel my room and they still had the guts give me a $25 cleaning fee for doing nothing other than stand in the room. Recommendation: Avoid this place as it's a trap for a bad night or a fee weren't obligated for simply. read more

Sleep Inn - If this guy is showing the truth, this place is desperate - Hotels Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

Nice Hotel, Good service, nice pool and near amenities. Saved $80 a night over the holiday inn in Sandusky... read more

It was an ok hotel. Very compact room. Sink was outside of tiny shower toilet room. We just needed a place to sleep for a few hours. Worked for that but would be uncomfortable for staying a whole day or more. read more

Pretty good for the price! Clean rooms and friendly staff. Only complaint is the room had no refrigerator or microwave. Staff said only certain rooms had them for an up charge. Other than that we had a great stay! read more

I stayed at the Sleep Inn last week for a trip to Cedar Point. While the trip was fantastic, the stay was off-putting to say the least. I don't like to be negative towards any business without offering any positivity, so I'll start with this: The pillows were incredible. Seriously. By far the most comfortable pillows I have ever slept on. I even looked at the tag to see if I could purchase them at home (the outcome looks bleak). The staff was also welcoming and friendly. They offered helpful tips on local eateries and drinkeries (is that a word?) and even helped me print out documents I needed for the trip - the computer they provided, however, was filled with pornographic pop-ups and websites. Not sure if that's a pro or con but it was a surprise nonetheless. The first disappointing thing I noticed at the hotel were the printed off documents offering discounts for good reviews. To me, that's getting awfully close to bribing hotel guests. The document states: "Please note that this discount can only be given if the feedback/survey given for us is positive/satisfied." The second disappointing aspect of my stay was the breakfast. Aside from the line of guests that wrapped out of the breakfast area and up the stairs, the "food" selection was horrendous. Sugar was in everything. 16 grams of sugar in one yogurt, sugary cereal, sugary oatmeal, muffins, donuts, waffles, etc. The only healthy item I noticed was a banana - and they were gone instantly. It is no wonder how Ohio managed to become the 8th fattest state in the country. The "food" never seemed to be refilled, the garbage was overflowing, and there were spills on the floor. There was a worker in the breakfast area but I honestly have no idea what she was doing. The main level bathroom was never cleaned during my three-day stay. The trashcan was overflowing with used paper towels, and one of the bathroom stalls had poop everywhere. Literally....everywhere. My best advice is to make sure you do your research on a hotel. You get what you pay for, and this was a very inexpensive three-day stay. Keep in mind, Sandusky is a huge travel town so hotels during the summer weekends will be more expensive. It might be worth it to spend a couple extra bucks for a good hotel, but if you just plan on sleeping then stay here. Seriously, the pillows are awesome. read more

Sleep Inn - Breakfast bar around 8:30am. Guests were loading up plates with food and apparently throwing them away too. *sigh* - Hotels Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

My husband and I booked to stay at the Sleep Inn from a Sunday to the next Saturday to spend the week in the Sandusky/Huron area. We booked this a bit last minute and didn't take as much time as we should have researching the place. This hotel is a complete dump that doesn't even deserve 1 star. Right away when you drive up to the Sleep Inn you notice that Maui Sands Hotel next door is abandoned and gives off a super creepy vibe. When we initially checked in, the front desk didn't give us any information on how the room cleaning service worked or Wi-Fi connection. He just handed us the key, that was it. While the front lobby looks newer/renovated, the rooms are outdated and small. We stayed in a king size room and were practically on top of each other trying to move around the room. The shower was dirty and stained and the room smelt musty. The pillows were equivalent to resting your head on a thin blanket. The view from our window was that lovely creepy abandoned hotel and at night time there were 2 room lights that were turned on - maybe someone is living in the abandoned hotel? Continental breakfast: barely. They put out prepackaged "meat sandwiches" (their term written on the fridge door). that were basically frozen sausage/egg/cheese breakfast sandwiches for guests to microwave. Otherwise, breakfast was plain bagels, oatmeal packets, and fruit loops. Cleaning service: basically none at all. Because we weren't told anything about the room cleaning service when we checked in and there's pretty much no more Covid restrictions, we assumed that a maid would be cleaning our room daily. Well, don't expect that. Don't even expect them to change out your towels every 3 days like it states on a hotel card in the rooms. We found out at the end of day 4 of our visit that we had to request towels and other items. Then, once we filled out a request form to get new towels and sheets, we figured that they would at least remove the dirty/old towels and sheets from our room. Nope. You want clean towels and sheets- you have to be your own maid and remove them all yourself, then make your own bed- if we wanted to do that then we would have stayed in an AirBnB. The dirty towels/sheets then just sat outside our room for the entire day before anyone picked them up. Wi-Fi: good luck in keeping the connection for more than a few minutes. I've never stayed in a hotel with such a crappy internet connection that dropped every 5-10 minutes. Noise: The icing on the cake was the wild screaming children that stay across our room on our last night there. The parents were high on weed (and possibly other things) and didn't give a crap that there was ~20 children ages 6-14 years old that were running up and down the hall, slamming doors, and screaming from 1030pm to past midnight. Initially, we asked them to keep it down. That didn't help. Then we called the front desk and asked them to deal with it, which of course they didn't. What was scary is that at some point in the middle of the night, someone tried to open our room door to get into our room. Luckily, we had both the dead bolt and security bar locked. We got the hell out of that place at 6am the next morning. The only plus of our stay is that we didn't get bed bugs. Stay away from this hotel! read more

Very friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are nice and kept clean. Recently renovated. Great place to stay, close to everything read more

My overall experience with this hotel I'd rate a 2 star. My fiancé and I traveled from Detroit,Mi for a weekend get away. We found this establishment mid day because upon our surprise almost all hotels were booked to capacity, because of a cheerleading event that was taking place in the area that same weekend. After driving from hotel to hotel and calling hotels at the same time we found the Sleep inn... The hotel itself was beautiful and clean. Once we finally found a place to stay we decided to grab a bite to eat and do a little site seeing and shopping. Upon our arrival back to the hotel they were having a power issue so the power kept going in and out. Because of our unfortunate situation we found ourselves between a rock and a hard place after careful consideration and speaking with the staff they were working on the problem. Children had gotten stuck on the elevator which was right by our room. People were all over the place and upset about the issue so they decided to leave early, however the difference in their situations were that they didn't live far from the establishment. Obviously we did and we had just finished an almost 2 hour drive to get there not including the time spent searching for another hotel to stay at. We checked in around 5 the power was out about 8 and did not come back on until I'm guessing sometime around 4 or 5 am not exactly sure because our phones had died by that time. I decided to wait until our check out to speak with personnel about the issue because I was already exhausted and it was too much going on during the Black out. BIG MISTAKE!!! So we continued our stay upon check out I spoke with the gentleman at the front desk about accommodation for the inconvenience. He stated that because the power outage was a result of the weather there was nothing they could do because we continued our stay they only issued refunds for the people that left the establishment. I even asked if they could possibly consider discounting a future stay because of the inconvenience and was also denied that. Crazy right at this point I'm very disappointed with how they handled the situation. And if I had a regular room that didn't have extra amenities I may not have minded paying full price. However I paid more ($299) just for the one night that the power was off and I couldn't use any of the amenities or even the basic things. If I'd known now how they treat power outages I would've taken my chances at finding yet another location. Long story short if the power goes out while you're staying it's best to check out and find some where else to stay! Sorry for the long post Very Disappointed Customers read more

I'm what some would consider a hotel snob . I'm loyal to one of the larger Brands but they didn't have one close to Cedar Point , so I decided to stay at the Sleep Inn since there were hardly any vacancies in Sandusky this weekend . I read the reviews and was very skeptical . I spoke with the front desk before arrival and they were very polite and professional.... once I arrived The lobby was nice and clean as was my room . Even after checkout the front desk called me because housekeeping had found my teenage daughters sunglasses . The room had 2 double beds and was nicely decorated , there is only a shower no bathtub but that wasn't a problem . I would stay here again . read more

This is a great clean place to stay. For me I was here for cedar point and was not looking for a great amenity filled spot. My room was clean, the bed was nice and it was quiet. It's about 15 minutes from the park. The only complaint I had was the breakfast spread was a little weak, but considering my room was less then hundred I was quite happy we had some hot food choices. Add Bacon and I will give you 5 stars! read more

Kristie M 1 Pending review Bedbugs, dirty sheets, and double charges; Choice Hotels refuses to offer anything other than a refund. FYI: Sleep Inn in Sandusky, Ohio has bedbugs. And when you check and ask for a refund, rather than refund the money, they double charge your card, thus blowing your budget and leaving you strandard on a holiday weekend. Then your brilliant son steps in and solves the problem and allows your husband to continue his birthday surprise of taking you to Cedar Point for two days. We walked in, checked for bedbugs, found dirty sheets. We decided to give a human benefit of the doubt and went and asked for clean sheets and offered to even remake the bed ourselves. When we went to change the sheets, we found a dead bedbug and a live one crawling across the duvet. We immediately them left. Quietly and politely, I might add, until we discovered they charged us again when we walked out. We were even polite at first when we found the error. Not so much when they told us they wouldn't refund it for two days and threatened to call the police on us. Note the business card says "at Cedar Point." Apparently this hotel is in no way affiliated with Cedar Point and isn't really "at" the park at all. As of today, 5/29/18: Choice Hotels has now taken a call from Michael and a call from me regarding the Sleep Inn in Sandusky, Ohio and the bedbugs and over charged situation. Michael was told, "No one in the hospitality industry would knowingly allow one of their franchisees to have bedbugs." They denied we were charged twice and stated our refund was all the customer service we were getting. I was told, "Your facts don't match our facts." Ut oh. Wrong answer, Choice. All we asked for was a voucher for two nights at another Choice Hotel. We actually told them how we would be completely satisfied. Nope. See photos for full story including receipt that claims we were refunded at 3:05pm. I do understand it can take a couple of days to see a refund in a bank account. However, please note the time on the screenshot of our bank holds...3:54pm. We had been in the parking lot for 49 minutes trying to book another hotel, only to have our card declined because we only keep our active budget in this account and the hold magically changed from $181.32 to $362.63 AFTER we left. Evan, the clerk, admitted on our fourth attempt to clear the matter up at the hotel itself that he had charged us again because he "didn't know his manager had charged us for the room instead of just authorizing the card." But our facts don't match theirs so we a refund is the best they can do. Side note: They have cards in the lobby that offer people $20 for leaving good reviews. read more

We were very pleased with our room at Sleep Inn. Very clean, nice amount of room, very comfortable bed, nice shower. One negative was the construction out front. Not really their fault but the crew began at 7 am and interrupted our sleep. Presently a little rough to drive in to because the street, drive and lot is chewed up from all the construction work. read more

BED BUGS! BED BUGS! BED BUGS! I checked into this hotel on 10/5/2013 11:00pm after a day at Cedar Point and checked out 30mins later because I spotted a bed bug! Most disgusting thing I've ever experienced in my life read more

I have stayed at this particular hotel in Sandusky Ohio there many times and it is the best hotel in Sandusky as good as it gets! The hotel is located in a great area with many restaurants and stores very close by The hotel is one of the cleanest hotels I have ever been it and the staff and manager are very pleasant always willing to answer any questions or help in any way The rates are very reasonable compared to other hotels in the area It is located close to cedar point and a great place to stay during Halloweekends at Cedar point Dont look anywhere else if you are looking for a great place to stay They are open all year round as well read more

I stay at the Sleep In regularly for work, and I am always satisfied with my experience. The rooms are clean and well accommodated. The breakfast each morning also has a great selection. Highly recommend this hotel when you're in the Sandusky area. read more

We stayed at this hotel because it was fairly close to Cedar Pointe. The hotel is a good deal for the money that you pay. The rooms are a pretty good size and the beds are nice and comfy. The gentleman at the front desk with the man bun was very helpful and very polite. Breakfast was good too! read more

Pretty good stay a little smaller room than I anticipated but overall pretty good. A guy named Evan will help you out a lot but there's one lady named Sara or Sarah and she's very rude and thinks that her having to do her job is always an inconvenience. The other two downsides are that the WiFi works but there's no internet connection and one last thing is that I was sleeping at 12 am and the radio randomly turned on and I took out the battery to stop it but it kept going and I had to just let it run out of power. read more

Would have done zero stars but was not able to!!! This is the worst hotel ever. We thought we were getting a "king Suite" one room had 1 kind bed with a bathroom... the other room was a conference room with two temporary king beds in it. The room was filthy.. rug was dirty bed had stains on the comforter ants and some type of animal poop on the window sills. Front desk attendant looked at me like I was crazy for complaining. Marriott Fairfield saves the day. read more

If I could, I won't give this place a star at all. Doesn't clean the rooms at all before you come. Dust everywhere. The places smells like cat litter and weed. No phone in the room, there was food in the sink. Pool area was not cleaned. Then the hotel room TVs did not work either. Got to the point that we asked for a refund or something like that. But instead they kicked us out with only thirty minutes to leave. Which we had young kids and an senior citizen in our hotel room. It's not worth the money. read more

Stayed at this Sleep Inn after googling hotels, this popped up. For $79/night I wasn't expecting the ritz, but I was pleasantly surprised. I was pleasantly surprised, we had two tires blow on our flatbed trailer we were hauling from Michigan back to New York, and at 8:30 at night there was no way we could get two tires and make it home that night. So we decided to stay over and get our tires in the morning. I walked into the Sleep Inn and was greeted by a very happy young man behind the desk, and asked for a last minute room. He was more than happy to accommodate us, and I was very happy to finally have a place to sleep. He gave us a list of restaurants in the area to go to and we were off. Our room was a two full size bed room, clean, warm and welcoming. Some of the fixtures and things were a little worn down, and definitely needed to be replaced, but nothing was dirty or unkempt. The beds, needed a little help. They were really hard to sleep on. While we love firm mattresses, these were just rough. But if that's all I have to complain about, I'll take it. Breakfast in the morning was just a continental breakfast, but it still tasted good, presentation was clean and welcoming, and staff was warm and welcoming, and not hovering like some places have them. I'd stay at another Sleep Inn again, hoping the beds will be a little better. read more

On a recent visit to Cedar Point, I chose the Sleep Inn. Found the hotel to be clean and the room was also clean and comfortable. Could have used a fridge and microwave but not a huge problem. Our front desk clerk was very friendly and we were able to access our room early which is always a nice bonus. Continental breakfast was ok. Didn't have scrambled eggs which I always enjoy. However, not to worry, I did manage to fill my belly on other goodies. I would recommend this location for your next Cedar Point overnight, good value and close to the park. read more

The first night of our trip my catalytic converter was sawed out of the bottom of my van and stolen, leaving me with over 1,000 dollars in damage. Hotel didn't claim any responsibility and basically stated it was not their fault. No video surveillance in the main parking lot. NOT A SAFE PLACE!!!! Countless calls to speak with a manager with no luck. The moment I stated I was going to make some online reviews, they replied: "Watch what you say..." So now they're trying to steal my "Freedom of Speech!" Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. We will never stay at any Choice Hotels again. read more

Great rooms, comfortable beds, good breakfast, helpful staff. Would stay here again!

We were pleasantly surprised by the Sleep Inn. For the rate this place fit the bill perfectly. It looks like they recently renovated the rooms which were nice. The breakfast was nothing impressive, but there were a few snacks for the road which were fine. The Applebee's in the same parking lot was an added perk. It has a great patio bar. Any old reviews on other sites must be based on the hotel prior to the renovations as our room was very clean and updated - no issues! We'd be back if we came through the area again. read more

Stayed for a night during my visit to Cedar Point. It was clean, and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful, and we didn't have any issues during our stay. It's far cheaper than going to one of the CP hotels, but cleaner than something like the Breakers Express. read more

the rooms were adorable. the colors of the room were so welcoming and beautiful. everything in the room went together. king size bed was the comfiest bed ever!!!! i inspected the room before i settled in and it was super clean! that says a lot because i'm a big germaphobe! read more

We stayed here after a long day at Cedar Point. The room was clean, staff was friendly and the price was great. The kids loved that the pool was open after 11:00. My only complaint is breakfast not being served later than 9:00 and no eggs other than hard boiled that were thick and rubbery. We'd consider staying here again. read more

I was only here for like 7 hours but what I seen from it I had a great stay. The blankets and bed was so comfy I loved it. I was here at 4 am and someone was there right away to help me so I was happy about that ! And very clean. Even though they put me in a handicapped room read more

Excellent customer service. Very clean rooms and facilities.

Disappointed from the start...traffic flow is poor. I witnessed two close vehicle accidents in two trips to my car. Parking is very limited with minimal to no parking space lines. We checked in with our granddaughter in tow (importance of this bit of information will be obvious--keep reading). As a retired military service member, my wife asked if there were any discounts available. We were told there was a 10% discount for US Service Members--great! But wait...we couldn't get the discount because the computer would change our rate to a higher cost less the discount which would be higher than the rate we booked--not great. Ok, no discount for this Desert Storm vet. Let's get to the room. They gave us a room on the 3rd floor. After getting off of the smelly elevator, we noticed a strong cigarette smell in the hallway. Little did we know we were given a smoking room. Once we got to the room the stench was so bad I had to hold my breath as I dialed the phone to the front desk. I asked the receptionist if she knew we were mistakenly given a smoking room. Her response was "you requested a smoking room." Of course we didn't (we're not smokers and HELLO we have a child with us). Luckily we were given another room. Our room was tiny...no fridge, no microwave...sliding door to the tiny shower/toilet (no tub) that had mold/mildew around the basin. Needless to say this will be the last stay with Sleep Inn for this veteran. read more

Sleep Inn - Hotels Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

My boyfriend and I booked our king sized hotel room for August 3rd-4th off Booking.com then we cancelled because I didn't trust that website from past experiences so my boyfriend cancelled and rebooked off Choicehotels.com. We traveled 4 hours here from Michigan to go to Cedar Point. After a 12 hour day, we finally get to the hotel and check in at 11pm. The front desk guy thought we cancelled our reservation because of Booking.com so our room was taken but he saw our reservation was placed on choicehotels.com and upgraded us to a jacuzzi suite to make up for the confusion. I was impressed how fast the problem was corrected and handled. Our room was pretty large and it didn't smell musty or anything like that. No staining on the carpet or sheets and we had a cool fireplace in the corner of our room. We had a good size tv, a couch and two arm chairs with a coffee table which was nice and the bed was super comfy after a long day. The bathroom was clean and didn't look creepy. The shower worked and was very warm and nice and I loved the idea of one side of the shower opening to the living room. I gave it 4 stars because a tile was missing off the tub and we couldn't get the jacuzzi to work but it didn't upset me or concern me because we got in late and the rest of the room was very nice. I would stay here in this hotel again when I come back to Cedar Point read more

Clean room and a large pool are the two positive points I can think of about this Sleep Inn. The first thing we experienced is a strong, weird smell in the hallway. Burnt microwave popcorn? Old chicken soup? It's still there the next morning, so apparently it just smells like that all the time. The bathroom door is a huge deal breaker. It's a sliding pocket door that doesn't slide so well. My daughter locked herself in there once and two other times, the door got stuck open and we couldn't get it out of the wall without pliers. The shower head has a buildup of calcium and spits water out in clumps. Breakfast is the worst we've had at a hotel in a very long time: gross microwaved pork sausage patties, stale cereal, dry muffins. There is a waffle maker, but there are so many people in line, it'll take forever (and this is a Monday morning). Unless you're on a tight budget, I'd recommend staying elsewhere. read more

Our stay in room 319 the King suite was very roomy! The room was on the end of the hotel close to the elevator & vending machine & it was still very quiet. We had a good rest . Staff was very nice! Breakfast was hot & there are 2 wattle makers. Again thanks for a great stay. read more
