The staff was very friendly and helpful. Pool and grounds were well maintained. The rooms have a window air conditioner that blows right at the head of one of the beds, but overall, very good quality for the price.

Great check in experience, wonderful staff, clean room! With the AC on we couldn’t hear anyone in the pool, which was directly outside of our room - so that was really great too!

This hotel was a pleasant surprise. The breakfast food here was great every day, and the pool was fantastic. Our kids enjoyed this hotel more than the hotels we have stayed at in Sandusky previously.

Great place to stay. Friendly staff, good location, and good prices. Only thing I could say is that the furniture/fixtures could use updating, but they weren't rundown or anything.

The pool and hot tub were great and were the main reason we stayed. The rooms were ok but quite small, especially the bathroom. The staff was very kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. The only thing that could've been better was the breakfast. There were no eggs or warm food other than pancakes.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean- only negative was the bolt on the door was missing the actual bolt! Otherwise it was well maintained. The breakfast was a little light and mostly carbs but it was satisfactory. Overall, happy with the stay and would stay again

Hi there, this is older but nicely maintained and well run motel. Rooms were clean and good size for family of four. The front desk staff were very nice (and family oriented). Breakfast was basic but neat with the automatic pancake maker. Proximity to Cedar Point amusement park was great as well. We arrived late and didn't use pool, but there were many families using the pool and slide, and they looked to be having a nice time.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

We had a great 1-night stay at the South Shore Inn. The rooms were good, especially the large well-lit mirror over the bathroom sink, it helped light up the entire room. The AC worked well, the bed was comfortable, and the refrigerator and microwave were very useful. My grandson loved the outdoor pool, especially the slides. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. For the price, this was a wonderful place to stay and I would certainly go back.

Welcoming staff that offered waters. It's a very simple hotel and it was a great place to be based every night after a wrestling tournament.

Excellent service and comfortable, clean rooms. The pool was well maintained, clean, and open until 11 pm. Great location, close to Cedar Point. Check out is later than average, at noon instead of 10 or 11 am as most places. Independently owned. Everything about the stay was enjoyable.
