Don't believe positive reviews

Don't believe positive reviews. The hotel is very outdated inside and out. Furniture in the room is old and in bad shape. Stains on carpet. Bathtub is also old and unappealing, water barely drains. They reemodel the lobby but forgot about the rest of the hotel.

Very basic. Very mediocre. Clean-ish, but very rundown. Felt like there was a layer of grime on everything. Room was quite dark without the blinds open, which was awkward on the ground level

Wifi was not accessible from the room. TV was not connected to the cable. There were used washclothes from the previous guest left in the room. I did not receive housekeeping during my stay. The outside stairs to the second floor were very unstable and felt like they could collapse soon. Decent location for a last minute booking to Ironman 70.3 Ohio, but it is in a rougher part of Sandusky. Would not recommend walking around this part of town after dark.

My partner and I stayed at the Avalon Inn for two nights while on a roadtrip. Overall, our stay was comfortable. The staff at the property were kind and accomodating; while checking in, the man who assisted us at the front desk offered to help us bring our luggage to our room which was very kind. The property itself is very out-dated and is in need of renovations; it feels straight out of the late 80's which, although charming, warrants some updates. Our room was on the second floor in an inconvenient location far from the parking lot and up rickety concrete stairs (as there no elevators close by). Despite the pictures posted of the grand courtyard, this area too is in need of repairs. Our room was clean but not the most comfortable. Our bed and sheets were noticably stiff and the faucet on our bathtub leaked constantly. Unfortunately, the hotel wifi did not work during our stay which left my partner unable to finish certain work obligations. For a short duration, the Avalon Inn provides a decent stay for a decent price; but it does not come highly recommended at this time.

Had cockroaches in our room and they were difficult with us trying to get our money back! Ruined our whole vacation because all the other hotels were booked solid and we had to go back home!

It was a little dingy, pretty outdated. Although the room was a non-smoking room, it still had a little scent of smokiness to it. The pool outside was over chlorinated. But, on the plus side the room was quiet, it did, but it was supposed to do. I just feel like the price was pretty high for what you got.

Very nice front deck employee. Not sure if his name but very friendly and helpful. The bed wasn't very comfortable but otherwise I was very happy. It was super quiet did not hear any noise. Price was excellent and location. It does need some more renovating but they are working on it. Very clean room and pleasantly surprised there was a big refrigerator and a microwave in room. Under previous owner there was no fridge in rooms. Would definitely stay again.

Nice little newly renovated.

Nice hotel being renovated by new owners. Have keyless locks, which is great, just have a passcode to get into room. Needs some good landscaping and they can turn this place into a nice little spot! Pool was nice, needs a little tlc but they got it. Employees were super nice and assisted with any of our needs.

2 Star spot close to Cedar Point

We were simply looking for a place to lay our heads after a couple long days at Cedar Point but it barely did that. Pros: Just as the other reviews mentioned, Friendly Staff. - Only interaction was checking in, but he was very friendly. Very close to Cedar Point Ice Machine stayed full despite having no vacancy Cons: Room and the bedsheets had a damp feel to it from the moment we arrived. Maybe due to bad climate control in the room, idk but just felt very gross in there, especially trying to sleep. 2 of the bathroom lights only lit up well after turning the switch on. Either bad connection or bad bulbs but it took about 10 minutes for them to finally light up Too much light entering the room at night. - the drapes didn't block enough of the parking lot lighting blasting through the windows. *In addition, the front door had a terrible seal with the hallway lighting entering around the entire frame of the door. Door latch was broken Dead area of Sandusky - literally nothing going on other than Cedar Point on this end of town Vending matching out of order Overall, just a yucky room. Certainly no more than a 2 star hotel. More expensive than what I think it's worth but the less expensive option in the area. I forget the other options but I would recommend other options until they make upgrades and improvements.

Would return

It's being renovated at the moment. It has a lot of potential. Our room was basic, everything worked properly, the fridge was large for a hotel room. There was a strange smell in the room and you could tell it hadn't been updated for a long time. Overall, for the price, I wasn't disappointed and would stay again. It's a room with beds and a bathroom, all I really need for our cedar point trips.

1st thing I don’t like was, yes this hotel has inside rooms. But anyone could walk in. There was no key card. So no security as to who could get in. We were greeted around 11pm by other guests in the parking lot stating they had been to 3 rooms and seen dead bugs in all 3 rooms. We searched our room and didn’t find any bugs. The bedding was clean. The bed was decent. And the bathtub/ bathroom was clean. But the room just looked run down. The air conditioning worked amazing! But there were entire piece pieces of the vents busted off. There were some small holes in the walls. There was a full sized apartment sized fridge. It seemed to work great. There was also a microwave. And a small table to eat at but, No chairs though to sit at the table. We were only there to sleep. We did open to close 2 days at Cedar Point. The hallways here smelled of marijuana despite the fact that all the rooms in that hallway were designated non smoking. But we didn’t notice the MJ smell in our room. This hotel was very budget friendly. Would I stay here again? Probably! But not by myself. Only with others.
