Ruben, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The staff is super helpful, the rooms are unique and the area is very nice. The “Oh Taco” restaurant on the premises is a must, especially the guacamole with feta and honey! Don’t miss out on that! Would absolutely recommend staying here.
Viktoria, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

This hotel was way over priced for a tiny room that looked like it belonged in the red light district

Lee, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

The Hotel was nice, but maybe showing a few signs of age. Upstairs bar was nice, downstairs restaurant ok. Limited menu, would look elsewhere for dinner out. Staff was polite and accommodating. I thought it a bit expensive for the what the property offered.
Sheileen, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

I like the area where the hotel was located, right by the water. Had many dining and entertainment options in the area. The hotel was clean, the room was a good size with nice amenities. The staff could have been more prompt to acknowledge and greeted us when we were trying to check in, but overall were a pleasant experience.
Patricia, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The room itself was beautiful and the surrounding area is very cute. Unfortunately it’s very loud until quite late at night due to music from local bars and restaurants. This was the case on Thursday, as well as the weekend. We managed with white noise, but for anyone who needs silence for sleeping, it would be hard to sleep well.
Alison, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Check in was at 4pm, room wasn't ready until 5pm.
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Unique and Beautiful hotel with interesting history. Super clean. Loved the gift shop. On Lake Erie. Excellent staff- personable & helpful. Walked everywhere. No need to drive. Ever in Sandusky - this is where will stay.
Janice, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The stay was wonderful only one thing, it was hair in the shower
Steve, 1-night trip

2/10 Terrible

While my stay was not horrendous. After leaving the hotel and receiving this $500 bill for their suspicions of smoking in the room which were an ash on the mantle which came from the smoking apparatus after returning to the room and some remnants of what was loaded prior to living the room constitutes smoking in the room and thus allows them to charge you $500 for their claim of smoking in the room! So as the room is clean the service is good and all amenities are mediocre. The room is very small for the price that you pay, and I suppose the overpricing is for the eclectic ambience of the room. So if you are looking for a place that you are not allowed to have smoking material on your person please feel free to stay at this place. I would not recommend it to anyone! They come off as a high-end hotel with a low end experience!
