“Not as bad as the horror stories”

Rodeway Inn Cedar Point South

3 of 5 stars

1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed at the South Rodeway Inn for two nights after July 4th. The decision to stay there based entirely on price - this was the cheapest option when we were going to be in Sandusky.

From the most of the reviews I read, I was expecting a filthy flea bag dump with mysterious stains and various vermin on every surface. I did not find that. Let's be clear - this is not a four star resort (or even a two star Holiday Inn). It's a one star hotel built and last updated in the Kennedy administration.

But for what it lacked in charm, it was clean, quiet, safe, and above all, affordable. If you want or need more amenities spend the extra money. But if you're looking for a bed, a shower, a pool, and some extra money to spend at Cedar Point, this is a decent destination.

Tip - we didn't even bother with the continental breakfast. Instead we walked next door to Jolly Donuts, a local joint with hot breakfasts and some great homemade donuts.

“Very Friendly and Clean”

Rodeway Inn Cedar Point South

Jun 17, 2007

Family and I stayed 4 nights. We were greeted by a very friendly employee who seemed happy to serve us and made us feel important. The rooms were very clean and comparable to other motels I have stayed at. They have a free shuttle to and from Cedar Point which is a big plus (saves on the $10 parking fee and traffic congestion). The breakfast was good (coffee, juice, donuts). Overall nice stay and I would stay again.

“Poor hotel, good location”

Rodeway Inn Cedar Point South

Mar 8, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

Horrible condition. The parcel of property is more valuable without the hotel attached to it.
Has not had any capital improvements in over 25 years it appears. Noisy concrete courtyard with chain-link fence. Really low class. For $95 per night it was a rip-off. Breakfast was a joke.
I am disappointed this is part of the Choice Hotel brand. Stay with a better brand. I have stayed in hundreds of places and this is by far the worst. Query: if I were the manager, I would take the position he/she knows the hotel is rundown and may not be able to change that. So why not supply a decent breakfast, quality towels and linens, and go the extra mile to have my guests have an enjoyable experience on what you can control? If you want to be with the big boys, get the big bucks and be near the "World's Greatest Amusement Park" you better have your act together. Again, the property is more valuable than the hotel + property.
You will regret staying here. I stayed for location only. It is 2 miles from the CP maingate, but something farther is better that this!

“About as expected”

Rodeway Inn Cedar Point South

3 of 5 stars
Parsippany, New Jersey
Aug 12, 2006
1/1 found this review helpful

Picked this based on good price and shuttle availability. Our reservation was mixed up with another party w/same last name, but they cleared that up and got us into a room in the "executive" wing. The room was okay, no significant complaints. However, after spending the day at CP, we returned late to find no housekeeping service. Apparently, we weren't the only ones, as when I complained, the desk clerks just moaned "Another one". They did find someone to come in and do a quick straighten up while we went out for dinner and the kids played at the pool. Overall, it was acceptable, but don't expect the Ritz.
