The property is very quaint and lime atelping back in time to the days of roadside motels. Staff was exceptionally friendly.and the property was homey. Very simple yet nice. The bedding was nice and colorful not just basic whites.

Greer, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quick check-in at a nice family run motel. Location right on the lake was great and was within 20 minutes of Cedar Point. The room was small, but clean and comfortable. Nice people running the property.

We came on a 3 day fishing trip with my wife and 2 young boys ages 8 and 12. The motel is clean, and a comfy place to lay your head at night. The staff is very kind.

Cute retro vibe

Location was great. Room was clean, with everything we needed. We watched a sunset over the water right down the road and a sunrise over the water right from the motel.

Schuyler, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We ended up coming back up the next 2 weekends. This Motel was awesome. It was just what we needed and out of the Cedar Point traffic. We were there because a friend of ours was very sick. The Woman and her son that runs were the nicest people. We will be going back up and using this motel for sure. It is between Sandusky and Port Clinton. Perfect little spot. Beautiful sunsets.

Clean but no frills. It was fine for an overnight. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Ice, snacks, bottled water all complimentary.
Brian, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Barking dogs necessitated our moving to the only room available which had poor quality pillows. Cleanliness was fine, shower nice and hot.

We have amazing time. The lady in the office was wonderful. The best customer service absolutely enjoyed it. We’ll stay there again.
Beautiful lake view
Phensri, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I’m quite happy that I stayed at the Cedar Motel. The place is charming, and the owner is very friendly and welcoming. I was able to lay in my bed and look out the window across the bay and it was so peaceful sitting and drinking my morning tea on the front bench, looking out across the water. Great place for peace and quiet. If I come back to this area, most definitely will stay here again.
The view from my window.
