"Absolutely amazing stay! Honestly, we were a little skeptical as we have never booked a house on Expedia. This place surpassed expectations in all regards, certainly compared to any other booking platform we have used - this host made it an amazing stay. The cottage has everything you need for a short or even extended stay. The area is safe, I felt perfectly comfortable walking my dog at night and early mornings alone as a small female. The only feedback I could give is to make the listing more...

Comfort Inn Sandusky

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely Outstanding Hospitality โ€“ Thank You! My wife and I recently stayed at the Comfort Inn in Sandusky for our honeymoon, and I honestly cannot say enough about the incredible experience we had. We arrived around 11:00 PM, and the gentleman working the front desk went far beyond what we ever expected. When he learned that we were there celebrating our honeymoon, he went out of his way to make our stay special by upgrading us to a Jacuzzi Suite. That alone was an incredibly kind gesture, but what really stood out was how genuinely he cared about making sure we had a perfect stay. Even though it was late at night, he was welcoming, professional, incredibly helpful, and made us feel like our honeymoon actually mattered to him. People like this are what make a hotel memorable. He didn't just do his job; he created an experience we will remember for years to come. I sincerely hope management sees this review and recognizes him for the outstanding employee he is. In an industry where customer service can sometimes feel routine, he reminded us of what true hospitality looks like. To the gentleman working the front desk that night: Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You helped make the beginning of our honeymoon even more special, and my wife and I are incredibly grateful. We will never forget the kindness you showed us. Comfort Inn Sandusky is lucky to have someone like you on their team!"

"This hotel is very close to Cedar Point (a 2 minute drive) which made it very easy to access the park. We also loved the hour early access time that came with staying at this property. That extra hour was essential for us to ride rollercoasters that had very long wait lines. We did not use the pool, but many guests were using it. The only complaint we had was that the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night while we were at this hotel."
