Maples Motel, Sandusky OH

Honestly there is sweet lotus esprit v8 in the lot sometimes.if you catch it in the corner of your eye while driving down U. S. 6, go turn around and check it out.one amazing view of a beautifully designed piece of art with a really cool owner to back it up.other than the car, place is very quiet and peaceful and a nice spot to stay at if you don't want to stay in the cedar point hotels.

If you love family and you love america, then you will love this place, still family owned, passing through the generations.its got a perfect location, just outside the crazy busy-ness, but right next to it for convenience.great location for cp.there is a train that runs by frequently.they are never long and theyre usually pretty brief on the horn.if youre running the ac and exhausted from the park, you will never notice, we slept right through them:) if its cooler, just run the fan on the ac.everything is wonderfully vintage, and in great shape and kept very clean! Beautiful pool for cooling off, and beautiful big trees make for a great landscape.the owner and his pup are wonderfully delightful.for such a great price and location, we have found our spot! Wonderful doughnuts and coffee.family run businesses always get the best effort and the most love, and this is certainly one of those places! Cant wait to visit again!

Very cool place with a lot of history! Steve was awesome and helped us out when we were in a pinch. This place should be the focal point of the town and is treasure that should be protected. It supported Cedar Point when the park was just starting. A throwback to simpler times when I use to travel with my mom and dad!

An absolute WONDERFUL stay. Steve (owner) is a fantastic guy who cherishes his business that has been in his family for 3 generations. It will transport you back to a simpler time while giving you reason to pause and enjoy the charm. If uber-modern-amenities are what you are looking for, it may not be for you (although TV and wi-fi are available and working great). But if you lament the franchising of America and are sick of eating and sleeping in the same five, globally-owned-hotel-chains, the Maples hotel is sweet elixir for those of us who actually want something DIFFERENT when we leave our home towns. Loved the place. Loved Steve. Wish him and the Maples Hotel the best.

If I could leave no stars I would! Steve the “Owner” is a joke. We were given a dirty room, trash on the dresser in the bath room, dirty towels on the floor and, with no bedding on the bed. No fridge, no microwave. Steve “upgraded” us to a new room only to try and charge us more for the upgrade 2 days into our stay. Never have we felt so uncomfortable in our hotel stays. The upgraded room had a a trash bag with duct tape on the broken bathroom Shower wall. Stains on curtains, lampshades. Fridge did not work to keep my medication cold either. Bugs in the ice chest outside and no bag to put ice in the dusty ice chest. Please avoid this hotel. Owner will ask for a good review even after getting nasty with you.

Stayed here after we visited cedar point and was very old school but perfect. Would recommend if you need a cozy place to sleep!

I was looking for a reasonably priced hotel near Cedar Point. This place was absolutely perfect for that. Just the basics are here. But that's all we needed. The hotel looks like it is in good shape. We had no issues at all. Steve, the owner, was extremely hospitable. Great guy. I enjoyed talking to him. I definitely recommend this hotel if you are going to Cedar Point. It's about 5 minutes away by car.

Quaint and the atmosphere was wonderful. Steve is a great conversationalist and fantastic host. He is dog friendly and has a very large property he encourages you to wander. I love how he is keeping it retro in a world that seems to always want something modern. I slept fantastically, even with the train going by now and then.
Also, he makes the best coffee in the morning.

Spent the day at CP and was super excited for our reservation here after a long day because it has such great reviews. There was NO prior communication or anything to state that we needed to check in by a certain time period. We arrived at 1am after leaving the park and there was no one to be found or calls answered. Had there been communication regarding check in in any way, shape or form, we’d have checked in upon getting into town. We were left calling every hotel in Sandusky to get a room last minute. Terrible communication.
