"Sewage on bathroom floor."

Reviewed January 16, 2025

After a 14 hour drive I checked into my room 431. I don't commonly write reviews but after receiving a standard form letter to Ashly Eaton at the Hotel, I thought, well you had your chance Ashly. Apology, " not accepted." The room was 431. Upon entering the room I was greeted by a blue soiled cleaning rag on the side table and a rug that looked like the bottom of a hamster cage. Food, hair and an assortment of unknowns led me to walk on my tip toes. Now it gets gross. I used the toilet and when I returned the floor around the toilet was wet. Yep, water and feces on the floor, leaking from what I believe was a bad bottom toilet seal or something. It was 2am. I was in no mood in any way to file a complaint and move rooms at that hour as I was checking out in a few hours more to continue my East to west Coast drive. My first impression of the lobby was very good. Clean and tidy the receptionist was very helpful and even got up to show the correct elevator to use. Classic story of front of the house not checking on the back of the house. That's it for me. First impression not good for either Holiday Inn Express.

"This hotel is dirty, carpet is old and filthy too"

Reviewed August 31, 2024

This hotel is dirty, the carpet is old. I don't appreciate the upgrade to a suite to be placed on the old side of the building.I have stayed in Holiday Inn Express before, but this is no way close to what we know. It is not cheap for what does it offer

"Never disappoints"

Reviewed August 20, 2024

On our route making it easy to find, lots of vehicle parking, great staff, clean common areas, clean and comfortable room. My wife hasn't stopped raving about how great the place was. She keeps saying "I would give it 5 Stars." There is a reason I stay at this brand when I travel for work and for the same reason I stay in the same brand if at all possible when I travel with friends. Breakfast was a great assortment, something for everyone and no shortage of supply. We arrived too late and departed to early to visit the pool.

"Never stay here again"

Reviewed July 27, 2024

This was the dirtiest hotel I’ve ever stayed in and it wasn’t cheap. We arrived to dirty floors, previous occupants hair and dirt all over the tile floor. Food crumbs on the carpeted area. Dirty bed skirt. Blood looking stains on the wall. Dirty counter tops, dirty coffee table, partial working clock. Shower full of mildew. Asked the front desk if our room could be cleaned better and was given the response well I can put a request in. It was not cleaned, we were given fresh towels, garbage changed and nothing else. If all the other hotels in the area hadn’t been booked, I would have moved to a different hotel.

"What we needed for a good price"

Reviewed June 07, 2024

We saw this place on the way into Cedar Point. We stayed a weekend in the deluxe cabins at Lighthouse Point and on the way out, decided to stop and eat. This lead to our server helping us get a room at this hotel on the fly. This place is awesome. The Bowling, food, the hotel rooms, the staff, everything. We needed a day to unwind after cedar point before the 5 hour ride home and this was the perfect place to do that. Highly recommend you stay here before Cedar Point but it's definitely worth staying after as well. Will stay here again if ever back in Sandusky. They have "quiet zone" signs on the room floors that people respect. I did not hear a single slam, yell or any disruption during our stay.
