Wonderful nostalgic vintage motel. Well cared for and revitalized for a new generation. Really nice, simple stay right on the bay.
Nathan, 1-night trip

Our Favorite Place ☺️

Saundra & family are always welcoming, the rooms are very clean, they’re very pet friendly, and the Bay is the most beautiful & peaceful location. We will keep coming back!

Great clean stay

Perfect for an overnight at cedar point. Clean/family owned and operated. Nice people and clean rooms, AC worked very well. What more can you ask for.
Christopher, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quick check-in at a nice family run motel. Location right on the lake was great and was within 20 minutes of Cedar Point. The room was small, but clean and comfortable. Nice people running the property.

Cute retro vibe

Location was great. Room was clean, with everything we needed. We watched a sunset over the water right down the road and a sunrise over the water right from the motel.
Kimberly, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Barking dogs necessitated our moving to the only room available which had poor quality pillows. Cleanliness was fine, shower nice and hot.
Donald, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean but no frills. It was fine for an overnight. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Ice, snacks, bottled water all complimentary.

Small Room, Grand Atmosphere

When we checked in, the owner told us the Queen bed room was tiny. We were okay with that. We loved the location; out of the city in a quiet community. The bay view in front of the motel was great. Geese were all alongside the road. We could see a train and its drawbridge across the bay. We enjoyed sitting in chairs in front and talking to people in the neighboring rooms. We were offered snacks and soft drinks when we checked in. There was no breakfast, but we knew that in advance. We had coffee, a refrigerator and microwave in the room. There were a couple of restaurants within walking distance. We were about 8 miles away from the Goodtime I cruise dock and the ferry dock which goes to nearby islands and Lake Erie cruises. About 10 miles from Walmart, Sam's Club and lots of restaurants. We enjoyed our stay and talked to others who were repeat customers at The Cedar Motel. It's not like a fancy hotel, but has a much better atmosphere.
Charles W, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

There was no one there to check us in we called the number to check in and no one answered we left several voice messages and no return calls so I can't tell you about the property because we never stayed

The Cedar Motel is a hidden gem in the Sandusky Bay Area. Clean, cozy, and close to all attractions while still being off the beaten path in a unique location on the peninsula.
