America’s Best Value Inn

Checked in with a friend and his 8 yrs old son October 24, 2015. And the following happened: We changed rooms twice. 1^st room was not cleaned at all. 2^nd room the pillows were stained and there was hair in between the layers of bedsheets. 3^rd room was clean except for hair on the bathroom towels.
Although the staff did not give us a hard time changing rooms, they should be more cognizant about the quality of their rooms before they let guests check in.
The place looks dilapidated on the inside. The facility needs major renovations and better cleaning staff. Safe to say I will never do business with this hotel chain ever again.

Looks fancy from the lobby, yet it’s more like a rundown motel 6 everywhere else. It’s stunning that in 2015 not to have any wi-​fi even as an extra pay for feature. We had two double beds and one had stains on the sheets. Use this place has only a last resort.

My daughter Made our reservation from
, you know that expression about first impression are true, so goes to this Hotel. when we arrived parking lot was empty like their were no ppl, here, looked/​felt like something was wrong, go inside looked like Psycho the movie SCARY, hotel restaurant under construction, hole (in ceiling) they have a fan blowing air on (I don’t know what ‚)continuously since we were there. Continental breakfast consist of, mini, mini muffins, sliced strawberry strudel and decaf and regular coffee, OH WOW!, for you non-​coffee drinkers, entered room, Seemed nice so far, some lights out, called front desk for bulbs, my daughter found blood stain on bed sheets, This hotel is so disgusting and I will not be staying here ever again. The hotel has false advertises and doesn’t provide anything to the extent it says it will. There is no Wifi, 1^st day looks like beds were made because curtains were left open to expose our room, so we decided to leave a note for cleaning help to keep curtains closed, 2^nd) day after a long, long day of family fun at cedar point and celebrating my daughters Birthday, exhausted and tired, we get back to Hotel to find our rooms like we left them, Make story short, ha, if only I could, we call front seat to notify them of the situation, so they brings us clean linens and towels and plastic bags for garbage cans and ice bucket, We did our own cleaning, NOT how I wanted to spend my Vacation. disappoint and disgusted we call Hotel .Com, and next day ask to speak to manager Julie Wasdborne ‚(which Is already aware and ask front desk to deduct $ 50.00, Whaat! ??? Not satisfied, she could not be reached and Never returned our call, that’s bad management if you ask me, Believe me Do Not Stay here, Or you’ll see for yourself, P. S.we did report to
, which in returned, we were satisfied with outcome, after 6 – 7 phone calls, trying to get in touch with Julie, I give it one star only B/​C, The young gentleman at front desk helped as much as he could and it’s not his job, glad to come home

First off, let me be clear that I am very laid back when it comes to hotels. I completely understand that «you get what you pay for» isn’t just a cliché thing to say. If the shower is clean and the beds are clean, I’m content. Besides, I like to spend as little time in the room as possible…
With that being said, this place is in some severe upgrading. When you first walk in, you think you’re walking into something high end, then you get to your room…
The first room we were put in, the TV didn’t work. I tried to fix it as I have a fairly good knowledge of electronics, but it didn’t go. Also, the comforter had a stain on it. I went down to the desk and the guy told me all they had were double rooms, I told him that was fine with me. So he stuck us in another room that was down the hall.
Went into that room and the bathroom floor was covered with dirt and footprints and the rug was soaked right by it. It seemed like someone was working in there (there was a truck outside with tools, ladders, etc).
Finally, we landed in room 114. At first the room seemed ok. TV worked, the lamp shade was smashed, but whatever. Then we realized that the door doesn’t lock. Rather than ask for yet another room, we just said we’ll take everything that’s important with us (we were traveling light anyway).
The staff was nice whenever we needed anything, there’s plenty of stores and restaurants in the area, and it was in a safe part of town. The towels were like sandpaper, which was unfortunate. But again, you get what you pay for. Despite all of these annoyances, we still were satisfied. I’ve read responses from ABVI on other sites that this is a seasonal place (I’m guessing g around Cedar Point’s schedule. It’s about 10 minutes away), so which just a few touch ups, this place could be a lot better.

Nothing fantastic, nothing terrible which is pretty much exactly what you pay for. Nice location overlooking a scenic view of Lake Eerie in Sandusky and about 20 minutes away from Cedar Point. You have a Sonic in walking distance and and shopping mall and tons of other restaurants and attractions as well all in the 30 minute radius. Right across from a large Adult Superstore which gave me a good laugh. I remember the customer service being really friendly. The beds are comfy, comes with a mini fridge. Free wi-​fi. The shower works fine. I didn’t see any bugs or any kind of nasty stains that made me want to run out of this place. Stayed back in summer of 2012 and recommend this place to anyone that wants a decent cheap hotel close to Cedar Point.

My boyfriend and I drove about 5 ½ hours or so from Chicago. When we walked in the front to check in we were impressed with the fancy look and the sweet old man at the front desk. So far thats the only good thing about this place. We chose here because it has a restaurant in the hotel, is fairly cheap, and has a pool. The restaurant is closed, totally torn up and looks likes it under construction with no progress. The pool is dirty and looks pretty nasty and my boyfriend wont go near it. The room is okay, spacious and clean, but like other reviewers said, the doors do not always lock and/​or stay shut when you close them. We left our room and shut the door just to check out the pool and when we came back it was wide open. Im pretty pissed and not impressed at all. I would not recommend this place to ANYONE. Do not waste your time or money here.

The place is really dated, but its incredibly cheap!
For spending the weekend at Cedar Point this is a great Hotel. Yes its a bit farther out, but its an easy drive, maybe 20 minutes to the park, and you pass a McDonald’s and a Starbucks, and Sonic is in the same parking lot. If all you’re doing is sleeping, then this is a great place for it.
As I said incredibly cheap. The beds are comfy, they have fluffy pillows and mini fridges. There is a restaurant and a bar in the place, but I haven’t gotten to try them out yet. They also don’t have a continental breakfast. If you’re checking in late at night there seems to ever only be one person at the front, and if you need housekeeping items (extra towels or toiletries) you need to go to the front desk as well. But they will get you what you need in a decent manner, once the line goes away. They’ll even bring it to you so you don’t have to wait.
it’s relatively quiet and there’s no parking issues. And again, did I mention its way cheap!

So this is where I ended up… It’s not the suggestions that were given but I can’t complain because my boyfriend made the reservations beforehand.
So far… The place is alright, def nothing special and not the worst place I’ve stayed. The hotel front looks good when you walk in the doors to check it with a restaurant to the side… You get this kinda fancy feel until you hit your room… Let me tell ya, don’t expect to leave your room without taking your stuff… The doors do not lock when you leave… People can just walk right in there after you head for the pool they have and you’d never know. My boyfriend and I ended up taking all of our stuff with us to leave to go grab drinks from sonic right next door and walmart… A horrid downside. Good things, the shower head is amazing in our room with different settings, the tv has cable and is pretty big, plus the beds are pretty comfortable compared to alot of other places I’ve been. So the place is alright, I’d recommend it for an over night stay with your stuff locked and hidden in a car, and I highly Do Not think anyone should consider this place if you’re looking for a weekend stay. ;)

The most disgusting hotel I have ever set foot in. Remember the scene from Big where Tom Hanks is in that nasty, scary hotel? It’s worse than that.
There were stains on the ceiling and walls. There was what looked like dried blood on the chair. The bedspread had cigarette burns in it and other holes. The carpet smelled bad. The sheets were dirty.
Here is the worst part: I left early in the morning and went to Cedar Point all day. When I returned, my room was wide open and one of the beds was made. My room was open ALL DAY LONG. Housekeeping apparently began to clean it and then left. Needless to say, I immediately packed my bags and relocated to the Sleep Inn, which was quite nice.
Stay away from this place! For the love of God, stay away!
