Hotels near Sheldon Marsh State Nature Preserve in Erie County

I am starting to have some issues with Choice Hotels. It useed to be that their different brands had predictable levels of service---Clarion was an old-style motel, Quality a little better, Sleep Inn and Comfort wth full amenities, and some upsacel in Ascend and Cambria. Lately, I can't predict if a Qulaity Inn will be better than a Comfort or if it will be a 1950s stye exterior-door motel with no elevators. So we are enjoying a stay in Huron, where this Comfort Inn isn't quite what I'd expect in that brand. What was disappointing--no business center. No pool. Extremely slow wi-fi. Old-style magnetic-strip door key cards that don't always store a code, and exterior doors that get locked tight at night and they key card won't admit you (and the back door, which overlooked the Huron River, doesn't have a key card reader). Our road-side room gets a lot of exgerior noise--I'm not a light sleeper, but I was awakened in the middle of our first night by some loud metallic sound outside, sounded like a pile-driver. Photos of the property suggested that there was a furnished back patio with stair access to a small beach, but that furniture is gone and what s at the bottom of those stairs is concrete. On the plus side--staff was really good and responsive to our needs.Rooms are nice and spacious with a big soaker tub in the bathroom. And best of all, it is right on the river's edge, and by luck we were here on the night of a supermoon with gorgeous weather--the reflection on the river was almost breathraking. Readers should understand that I award a rating of 4 to any chain hotel that meets the chain's standards as I expect them--5 means even better, and lower rating--disappointment Here' there are some missing pieces and other points of excellence which balance each other out.

Only spent one night while attending a wedding in Sandusky. We found the property attractive and our second floor two queen room comfortable, clean, and sufficiently appointed with a nice size TV, microwave, modest mini-fridge, and in room safe. Particularly appreciated that the bathroom was a walk-in shower as opposed to a more traditional tub/shower configuration. The lack of an in room coffee maker was disappointing and the on site Starbucks had limited hours (6 am - 9 pm). The resort is annoyingly cashless meaning that even small purchases required using a credit card. While we didn't use many of the amenities during this stay the pool area, public spaces, restaurant, bars, and market including the adjoining golf course were inviting reflecting recent updates. Note rooms are a considerable distance from the single elevator and most resort amenities. The “resort” has small convention facilities which could be annoying if booking for a couple or small family escape. Would certainly consider for a longer stay if visiting nearby Cedar Point or a short escape.

We arrived just after midnight and were given a first floor room as requested during the booking process. Customer service is very good and check in and out is GREAT. The rooms are pretty decent and u get a great nights rest plus the beds are extra comfortable. And I enjoy a great cup of coffee!! We will for sure make this another stopping point, on our next trip to Cedar Point!!

Cool!

The room was clean and the staff was friendly. The breakfast area was clean and the food was decent. They had hot breakfast of sausage parties and scrambled eggs one day and sausage links and cheese omelet the next. They always have a waffle maker and prepared oatmeal. They also have a large selection of snacks and toiletries in their conversion area. The location was a bit odd to access and the view wasn't anything to write home about and it's right next to train tracks, so I gave them only a 3 for that.

I chose this place for my family of 5 to stay on a 2night 3 day trip to Cedar Point and I am so happy with my decision! This place is home away from home! There were many different rooms to choose from. Something for everyone! I chose the 2 bed 1 bath with kitchen and sofa bed. It was very roomy and the A/C worked so well! Very clean! Parking right out front! And a huge gated pool with slides! My kids loved it here! Only 5 minutes to Cedar Point too! Big shout out to the staff too! They were all so friendly, warm and welcoming! The helpful gentlemen at the front desk, and of course Sandy and Betty! Oh also they have a complimentary breakfast in the mornings too! Such a nice little family owned hotel. I will for sure choose South Shore Inn on all my stays in Sandusky! Karen
