Picked this place since we have a three year old and it ended up being a prefect place for our child. He LOVED the kiddie pool, playground & beach. Very nice place for families!! Will go back, hopefully soon.

This was a great place to stay, and we felt very welcome by the staff. We had a room facing the courtyard, we didn't want to pay extra for a lake view with a balcony. The room had two queen beds, and the room seemed to be very roomy. There was some outside damage to to hotel do to a previous hail storm, but we didn't notice anything in the hotel for […] us that was affected. I would recommend this hotel as a great place to stay.

We had a nice experience staying here. Good value and excellent location.

Had the worst experience with service, the manager tried to downgrade my room for the same price as the top room and tried to convince me that he's giving me a great deal. wow. they lock the doors at night so you can't even access the vending machine. Are you serious?

Our first stay here - And Our Last!! First room we checked into stunk terribly of cat urine. The front desk dude said this was due to the fire retardant carpet getting wet by the previous guests. ?? So, they come in and sprinkled the carpet with a odor remover (arm & hammer powder) that was so strong - it made us sick. We moved to another room - and […] the A/C unit was loud and made noise. The beds were terrible, uncomfortable cheap, motel quality and didn't have fitted sheets on the beds. Breakfast bar was minimal. Three black cats outside running around the property - rading the trash cans. I will never stay here again. Do yourself a favor and stay at Sawmill Creek Resort or The Holiday Inn Express. Not worth the ridiculous price I paid to stay here. Read more

Had a good time. Good advice on great places to eat.

Hotel was clean and service was good. Beachy decor was nice. It was too far from other tourists things to do. 2 pool areas were nice, but I diid not like the beach area. I will not go back though, because when we checked out they said we owed an additional 18 dollars for a tourism fee and use of their services, such as the pool the gym and continental […] breakfast. I disputed the fee as the breakfast was advertised as free and when one books a hotel it is expected pool use is included in the price of stay. I did not appreciate not being told about the fees until we checked out, but they argued that in VERY fine print the website we used for booking told us of fees. It is only $18 dollars but it is the sneaky way it was done. Read more

The atmosphere was more like a campground than a resort. There are pools and a nice little beach, and much family recreation area, but not what we expected for the cost. The spa services are just some lady that comes over between cleaning houses, and not really a massagetherapist. The air conditioning unit nearly touches the bed, so one resident gets […] VERY conditioned. The continental breakfast is some tiny muffins and cereal nothing hot, and no milk. We met some nice folks Staying in one of the cabins; that might be the way to go if you have a big group. At least you could cook, as.there isn't much for dining nearby. Read more

Small room with old TV. Continental breakfast is a joke. Three pools, but all tiny. Overpriced, I guess you are paying for the location.

I was very disappointed for the money I spent in comparison to the hotel. It was expensive, breakfast was terrible, the maid didn't even make our beds the days we were staying, after being charged a ridiculous amount of money, they tacked on another $50 and told me it was an additional charge in small print that I missed. Never again will I waste money […] here or in Ohio for that matter. Go somewhere else, the beach they claim to have is a mud hole with some sand around it! Read more

Room was very clean. Seems to be new paint. Family run, nice people, gals at checkin were very helpful. They know the area and have directions to many places typed up so you can take with you. The beds were very soft. Pools were very clean. We drove to Cedar Point in about 25 min. Nice to not be in the city.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Was at the hotel for less than 3 hrs and was at the front desk with issues 3 times. I sat in wet caulk by the kiddie pool and in the room had what the hotel called "rust" coming out of the ac unit all over the bed not once but twice before they finally switched our room. The manager left us a bottle of champagne and a note hoping that we enjoy the rest […] of our stay. The pools were great but the rooms could use a little improving the hotel was hot and musty. For the price we would expect a lot more!! Read more

The stay was ok. The beds were horrible!!!! The mattress was about the cheapest thing I've ever seen or slept on. The towels and washcloths were also very bad. Very old and were torn and frayed and very thin. For the price we paid it wasn't worth it. They need to replace all the mattresses and linen. Other than that it wouldn't be too bad.

Outstanding, everything you could want plus ten times more. 3 pools, hot tub, sandy beach, boardwalk type dock/marina w/ gazebos, lawn swings, shuffleboard, horse shoes, tennis courts, BBQ grills, camp fire pit. The kids ages 6 & 8 didn't want to leave! Definately worth every penny

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Rooms were outdated and a little small for the price. Breakfast was also not up to par for price, just cereal and hard muffins.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room had a very bad odor in it. Had to leave the window open the entire time we were there. Staff not very friendly. I would not call this a resort at all!!!!

Too bad the pool wasn't ready for use - it was 85 degrees last weekend! Breakfast should be described as continental as it was minimal - cereal, juice and small rolls

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel was clean and well maintained. The location is serene and the grounds are very well kept. The continental breakfast is an added touch. I would stay again, no doubt.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Great location, beach access, boat docking, clean rooms-grounds and pool. Little pricey but location makes it worth it. Was a little disappointed that they did not tell us we would be charged pere night for cot in room up front.

I should have trusted my instincts when I read other reviews. We can stay a entire week at the ocean in 2 bdrm condo for what we paid here for 2 nites! Then when checking out (checking out not checking in!) We were told that our initial charge was only for 2 people and we had to pay $$ more money per person per nite plus fees and taxes. Supposedly this […] is in contract which I have not located. The Jaccuzzi tub had black mold in it. The mattresses were very uncomfortable and comforter was dirty. The bathroom smelled of mildew. Our "courtyard View" was an alley and the building in front ( with a closed down Restaurant). We were not impressed, This is definetly not a "Resort". Read more

We were attracted to this Hotel because of the pools and the beach on the lake. Just because the word "Resort" is attached to the name doesn't mean you should pay more. The beds were not comfortable and had cheap fitted sheets. The lake wasn't swimworthy but the pools were nice. For the price I would expect much more than the complementary breakfast […] that was provided. The staff was helpful and friendly. Overall we were not at all satisfied with our experience mainly because of the high price for what we got. Read more

We were on a girls' getaway and enjoyed the lack of hustle and bustle and the upgrade to a room with a view of the bay and a balcony. The staff was nice and helpful. The resort's website needs updating badly. We would have been very disappointed if we were going to enjoy the "private beach" which was 50ft long by 10ft deep at a 45 degree angle and the […] water had plenty of string algae. There was no restaurant or bar, those seemed to have been closed for some time. That was fine, we enjoyed trying out a variety of eateries. Overall, we had a great time but update the website so others won't be disappointed! Read more

Not a good place for drive through couple. It might be better for a family who wanted to stay a few days. Everything was clean but needed updating.

First time vistor to Sandusky, Ohio. As Marylanders, we travel there to visit the world famous Cedar Point Amusement Park. Although the hotelt was a little remote for teenaged young men who wanted the excitement of the busy strip that Exit 250 provided, we nevertheless had a wonderful time. The staff person who greeted us initially was exceptional and […] complaisantly accomodating--which made our visit to South Beach Resort even more pleasant and an unforgettable experience.Thank you, Mike, for being such a gracious host.

Stayed for Memorial Day weekend 2011. It seems that the room must have suffered from a previous guest because it stunk like nothing else. Fortunately, my girlfriend and I had brought Lysol along and were able to overcome the musty odor. I think the smell was coming from the carpet and I'd wager that someone had cleaned fish in the room previously. Luckily, […] we only stayed in the room at night to sleep and spent most of our day at Put-in Bay. The area was nice and this hotel was quiet. There was some noise from other guests, but nothing beyond what is to be expected. The facilities were adequate and the sheets/towels were clean. Overall, I'd say that the stay was nice. I imagine that room 313 just needs a thorough cleaning to overcome the odor. The hotel does require that you wear a silicone bracelet when using any of the hotel's recreational facilities. It seems that they have locals abusing those assets and this is a way to identify paying guests. It wasn't a big deal to my girlfriend or I. Were it not for the smelly room, I'd rate the overall experience as a 4.5. The employees were friendly and I had no other complaints. Read more

Wonderful hotel! Close to Marblehead, Lakeside, and ferry to Put-in-Bay. Has great pier you can walk on out to the bay!

What a wonderful hotel!! Very clean and the little things just kept coming! The kids enjoyed having the beach, two hotels, play areas - I appreciated the small extras such as name brand bath items (loved that!!). Quick and easy drive to Lighthouse and State Park, as well as other attractions. Kids enjoyed the "old person" game (shuffleboard). There […] is something for everyone - very relaxing and low key hotel! Thank you - this was a perfect ender to the go go go of the amusment park! Read more

The staff wasn't very friendly and we weren't greeted right away upon arrival. They don;t staff the main entrance accordingly to greet guests or anwer questions. The main high rise building was ok, a trypical hotel. However, the grounds w/cabins on the way to the pools and then Lake Erie felt like a campground/trailer park setting. We didn't feel welcome […] or comfortable. Overall, the main building and room were fairly clean. It was noisy when the floor above showered but, things seem to settle down as the night went on. I guess it depends what your accustomed to. We expected more of a true resort feel, but this is not it. Read more

For the price, I was expecting a bit more. Beds were below average, room was clean, but average. grounds and location were nice. Great if you have a boat moored there at the hotel. Overall- nothing to write home about.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is surrounded on either side by low income housing and trailers. When we arrived there was a crew of young teens checking out our vehicle commenting on our "nice ride". While the hotel itself was beautiful the front door is locked at 10pm- would have been nice to know we had to check in prior to 10 (we got there at 10:10). We'd had a very […] long day at Cedar Point and were hungry. When we asked the clerk for a list of pizza places the clerk informed us there was a phone book in our room. When we asked for additional information on the pools and lake activities we were informed we could look at the grounds in the morning. While the hotel was clean the room smelled a little funny, a mix of garlic and campfire smoke???. The breakfast was terrible, stale pastries, sour/warm milk and generic cereal. If you are looking for a clean place to stay, thirty minutes from anything this is the place for you! Would not stay again- Read more
