Sundusky, Ohio - Hotel recommendations? - GoFuckYourself.com

Lace · 06-04-2010, 12:12 PM

Taking the fiancee to Cedar Point for her birthday next weekend and I'm looking for a decent but cheap hotel. Preferably <$100/night. We will only be there to sleep for a few hours at most so it doesn't have to be anything fancy by far. Don't mind driving 30-45 minutes to get to the park either. That's not a problem.

I know there are quite a few people here on GFY from Ohio so figured I'd ask for some recommendations.

No clue to be honest. I've found a few online that are only a few miles from the theme park so I would imagine so. Never been there myself. Just going on the city provided on the Cedar Point site.

FYI be careful. Most of Sandusky is a dirty ghetto.

Cedar Point has some right in the park
and there is lots of cheaper motels near 80/90 Toll Rd

True dat. Best bet is to stay close to the park or the ones actually on the park property. Worth the extra money IMO. Have fun...always a good time.

Was there tons of times when I was a kid and teenager, but been probably 20 years since I was there last. Sandusky that is, not Sundusky hehe

Lace.
Just book a room at the Breakers
Nice hotel, and you get the Cedar Point Discounts when you stay there
If its Full,,,LMK and I will get you an alternative

I'M PUTTING THIS ALL IN CAPS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN TO CEDAR POINT A GAZILLION TIMES.

STAY AT THE SANDCASTLE SUITES!!!

You can walk right to the park, come back and lounge and go back to the park without the parking hassle. Sandcastle Suites are right by the Magnum XL and the go-kart area. Just a short walk and bam! you are there.

Sandcastle is better. I've stayed at Breakers, not that great. And a much longer walk.

We actually had to take the rental car and park it over in the RV area where my parents were because the walk is that much further.

I went to the Cedar Point site - http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/par...tels/index.cfm and looked for rates, but it says nothing available.

Bah, I wish it were!

Have a lot of fun - I hope you and the lady enjoy roller coasters.

Their waterpark is rather large and you could spend a half day there. The lazy river is nice. =)

They have incredible salt water taffy there too.

Take a race around the go-kart track too, it's a lot of fun.

Have a good time!

The Lighthouse has availability. This is actually closer than the Sandcastle Suites in terms of walking to the park. From SS you have to walk through Camper Village which is where The Lighthouses are.

It's a bit more than $100/day, but you get free tickets into the park and Soak City (the waterpark). Parking isn't cheap either, so that's something to factor into the price as well.

EDIT: They all have availability.

D Ghost · 06-04-2010, 06:42 PM

Cedar Point is awesome!

BSleazy · 06-04-2010, 06:50 PM

I've stayed at the hotel in the park but not anywhere else around there. Can't remember what it costs.

Yeah not sure if we're going to do the water park or not yet, but we do plan on spending all of Saturday at Cedar Point. And that roller coaster looks awesome! I cant wait!!

I'll have to look over the hotel thing again - it was telling me nothing was available earlier. Weird.

Thank you for all of your help, Kristin! Definitely appreciate it.
