Location was amazing. Very clean cute room. The price for what we got was fantastic.
Bed was a little hard but that's a matter of opinion:) coffee maker needs a good clean.

The heating system was very loud, but once you got used to it- it was fine

Location. The decor was outstanding
Need to have extra blankets in units. Please replenish the coffee pods not enough for a weekend. Extra bath towels would be nice.

The location
We were stuck outside our room for 40 minutes late at night because our room codes did not work and it took us forever to get hold of someone who had to give us a completely new codes. No lightbulbs in the lamps but the worst part, the walls are paper thin and the noises are so loud and we could not sleep at all. We finally checked out a day early because it was so hard to sleep and we had to find someplace else. In addition, we booked it because it had a “Fitness Center” and there was nothing to be found. I reached out to the management numberous times to find out what the fitness center, no one responded. We recorded how loud everything was. A marching band above our bed. We took pictures of the booking/res that promised a fitness center. We will be getting our money back.

It was clean and comfy more than we expected as far as room and space.
A little loud for the stairs. Maybe carpets on it and the fact that it was a little chilly we couldn't get the thermos to work.

The place was very nice and comfortable.
The refrigerator was not your standard size but really didn’t need the extra space!

The unit was extremely clean and very cozy and a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. I will definitely come back. I frequency point annually and this will be my go to place.
Toilet paper holder was crooked and broken, and the garbage can top frame. Top frame was broken by previous.guests. Other than that five stars.

The property was absolutely beautiful!!! Only a few minutes from Cedar Point and the town had such charm!
The only thing we didn’t like was how loud the family above us was. They woke up early and the floors were very creaky due to the age of the building and it sounded like they were stomping around.

The home is stunning. The wood fireplace, the stain glass. Loved the large windows that gave a lot of natural light. It was styled very pretty as well.
The unit was very hot. The ac was not working but it was cool enough at night that we were able to open the windows and the large fans in the rooms did help with circulation. I did call to see if I just had the setting wrong on the thermostat and the lady that I spoke with was willing to bring extra fans to help us be more comfortable. She also offered to move us units. I was very pleased with her communication. However, we did leave behind a stuff animal (my 2 year old’s, iykyk) and I called, emailed, left multiple messages with booking.com and the actual house owners and never got any kind of communication back. That was pretty frustrating to reach out and have no one respond.

I booked this hotel literally minutes before i checked in. i had just came from a place where i found bugs so i was not staying there!! the lady over the phone at the lobby helped me with my door code and everything was smooth since then. The place was incredibly clean, I feel like I got so much more than I bargained for just looking at the photos online. There was ample room for everything there were even dishes available to use. there were so many surprises and nice things that I noticed during my stay. The location was nice the neighborhood and street were quiet. The water was nice and hot in the shower as well. sorry for the blurry pictures, it was originally a video I thought they took videos lol
May be a bit more privacy, the windows in the kitchen area were only covered halfway. My last night there I heard a family either next-door to me or above me, I couldn’t isolate the sound. but the noise does carry in there if there is a little too much bumping going on.

We had units C/D and it was very charming. The bedrooms were classy and the bathrooms/kitchen were modern and nicely done. A pair of pocket doors separated units C/D. They were beautiful. The bathroom in unit D was huge, and both bathrooms had huge showers. There was plenty of parking space and the neighborhood was quiet.
The door to unit C was hard to open/close. It was sticking and may have been due to humidity. We used Unit D's door instead. The bathroom in Unit D needs a vanity to place items on. It is plenty big to put one in. I had to use the back of the toilet or floor to set items down on. The toilet paper holders in both bathrooms need to be changed out. The rolls kept falling off.

The property is nice enough. Good bathroom and bedroom and not a bad location.
Well…there were pee stains on the bed that were covered up by a sheet. Seemed to be intentionally hidden. Is it so hard to wash sheets ? Also there was only one laundry pod and I had to buy more detergent to wash the sheet and blanket which should’ve already been clean. Also, no curtain or blinds at the front door ? Not only can you hear everything but can see everything as well? Who designed that ?

Love the room and staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was very clean after call to housekeeping. Great location.
Was told I would be refunded 1 night stay bc our room was not ready up arrival. We had to wait for our room to be cleaned . I have still not received a refund or any communication with me regarding my refund I have emailed 2 times with zero response. I will not be using serice again.

The bed was comfortable
Well, I’m going to be honest and hopefully this gets printed my last negative review was not allowed to go through for whatever reason
When I arrived at the property, it was tough to get in and I was able to go down to the basement apartment and the maintenance man was there and the kitchen floor was full of water as I was told they were defrosting the freezer which is kind of an odd way to defrost the freezer and I decided I did not want that room and as we were leaving, there was an oversized chair turned upside down with a broken leg so I definitely did not want that basement room
I was showed another room up two floors and that one was not fully clean and ready
And when we did come back and the bed was made, everything was all set there was trash in the bathroom garbage and the bottom drawers in the refrigerator had some type of food on them so the place is not 100% clean also the cushion in front of the window was full of hair but it definitely needed a good vacuuming and cleaning so not the nicest place I’ve ever stayed not the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed

The property was well kept and clean. It was in close proximity to downtown Sandusky, which was convenient.
This is a century home and while it is nicely renovated, unfortunately the walls and floors are paper thin. The other people staying there were extremely loud and inconsiderate. I called the property manager at midnight about the noise and it changed nothing. I may have slept 2 hours all night. I chose this hotel to rest and relax for a few days and ended up very frustrated, tired and disappointed. I left after the first night because I knew I wouldn't get any sleep on the second night with the loud people and children staying there. I called management on the second day and left a message that I was leaving a day early due to lack of sleep and the bad experience. No one even bothered to call me back and get feedback which reflects a lack of customer service. The place was not worth almost $250 per night.
Don't stay here unless you're a heavy sleeper or have noise canceling headphones, otherwise you will not sleep if you have inconsiderate neighbors during your stay.

We were in town for Ironman 70.3 Ohio, and this was a great location, close to downtown and everything we needed for race day.
Dang... talk about NO soundproofing between walls and floors! We were on the 2nd floor and between the people next to us with a barking dog and loud conversations on the phone, and the family above us with the kids running around at all hours, it was rough to get a good night's sleep. Very disappointed. Other items that were frustrating: limited cutlery in the kitchen; only gave us 2 forks and 2 spoons, no small plates and only 3 large ones... very strange. Not much toilet paper; I had to call to get more. And the kitchen table rocked so badly we had to wedge some paper in the base to make it more stable. Fireplace in the bedroom had a huge crack in the side (plaster) that definitely needs repairing.

First the “hits“: The location can’t be beat. It is located in a charming old section of the town, less than a five minute walk from shops, restaurants , and the wharf. The rooms, really suites, are located in a charmingly restored mansion. Our suite was large, airy, clean, and well decorated. Much to our surprise it even featured a washing machine and dryer.
Now the “misses“: there was only 1/2 roll of toilet paper in the bathroom, and the shampoo and soap dispensers in the shower were empty. Finally, the “fitted“ sheet did not fit the bed. These were housekeeping miscues. A phone call to the rental agency brought quick resolution.

The house and the comfiness to it was just maginifcient. Street parking was availble but having a parking lot on side of the house was a bonus I was not expecting
Loved everything

The Location was about an 8 minute walk from the Jet Express terminal. There are several decent restaurants that you can walk to, close to the hotel.
I got back from Kelley's island around, 8:30 PM. At this point, I had not checked into the hotel. There is no staff at this hotel; However, The check in instructions were good. After I had dinner, I went to get into my room around 10:30 PM. The cypher lock would not open the door, initially. I tried several time, carefully making sure I was entering the correct code. The lock finally opened. It was a very hot and humid evening so the room was very hot. I found the thermostat and tried to put the AC on full blast after turning on all the ceiling fans. The AC was on but barely able to cool the room. The blower motor for the AC was very loud and annoying as well. Trying to sleep was not easy or restful.

You can hear the neighbors in the adjacent apartment
I only heard their tv but I think everyone realizes this and quiets down at 10pm so respectful guests should feel welcome

This home is located in a beautiful neighborhood near Lake Springfield. We only stayed one night but would have loved to stay more. There were so many areas inside and outside the house to relax and enjoy the quiet of the evening. There is a refrigerator dedicated to guests to store items that needed cooling. In the morning, we enjoyed coffee from an amazing coffee machine. The owners were helpful in letting us make a last-minute change to our reservation and in giving us suggestions on places to eat. We want to come back here and stay longer.
Absolutely nothing!

The property was beautiful and the facilities were brand new. In unit washer and dryer that blew my mind, I’ve never seen that in a rental. It was exactly what we needed last minute and ideal location for cedar point and other beaches.
I had a very hard time checking in. not entirely the property’s fault, when using third party booking sometimes things happen but the locks were temperamental and had to stand outside in the heat for almost an hour trying to get inside.

Very clean and easy check in. Renovated and very cute.
We were not provided with enough towels/linens for our stay. For 2 people for 2 nights we were given 1 towel, 3 wash cloths, and 3 bath rugs. Staff did not answer my message of where I could get another towel.

Beautifully restored property that was both elegant, spacious and comfy. We didn’t use the kitchen to cook but it seemed well stocked, including some snacks. Super easy check in. Only 9 min to Cedar Point and 3 min to Wake and Waffle. Beautiful landscaping!
Only 1 washcloth and no body wash. You could hear footsteps from upstairs, but we had no problems with any other guests being disrespectfully noisy.

Great location and love the historic atmosphere. The room is beautiful and has so much room and amenities!
It’s 11:30 pm and other renters are partying, smoking weed, hollering, and the music is super loud.. trying to reach someone about it but no response. Our little girl is with us and it’s pretty scary. Have to wake up super early… pretty upsetting…I hope someone will reach out and enforce the quiet hours.

I like the feeling of home away from home.
Could have been pressure washed out side. Leaves cleaned up from basement stairs. Get rid of the miniespresso machine and replace it with a keurig.

Great location, easy check in and check out, and nice little parking spot. Downtown and near everything we were there for.
Not the room pictured in the photos. Was still nice, had some issues with the bed being super firm and uncomfortable, as well as very noisy and squeaky when moving.
There were some aesthetic blemishes with the upkeep of the room. In the kitchen there was a line of coat hangers built into the wall and one had been broken off and left in disrepair. In the bedroom on the back side of the fireplace toward the ceiling there were large cracks showing through the paint. Some nicked paint or scores all throughout.

Very cute place. Very clean. Great location!
Thought I was booking the apartment with 2 beds. It was me and my adult son. I made the sofa into my bed and it was fine. The neighbors in the other apartment were very loud. They were up most of the night so my son and I did not rest well at all.

Great house and great location…Loved walking around the neighborhood and down to the lake…Great back yard also…The kids and I loved staying there over all…Would definitely stay there again if available…
The porch light was on the whole night and the Exit sign was both bright and hard to sleep…The lady across the street was cussing loudly at some kids saying some pretty harsh stuff and hateful…It only happened once though…

We stayed in Unit C/D, (two bedrooms with 3 beds & two full bathrooms), and it was honestly great! We are planning to recommend this property to friends and when we’re back in the area, we will be staying here again. It has been perfectly updated, emphasizing the original architectural details, while making it feel like home.
Great location— It’s so close to a cute little park on the lake and minutes away from *so* many other main attractions in Sandusky.
If we were to be picky, the only suggestion we would have is to add some furniture of some kind to the larger bathroom so there’s a place to put a toiletry bag and maybe a change of clothes… other than that, we got nothin’!
