Room was clean and close to Cedar Point. Shower was great and had an excellent breakfast. Beds were not great we even complain out the one to front desk first day and they apologized but did nothing. We got up and left as early as we could today. We will not be staying again.

We have stayed at South Shore when traveling to Cedar Point twice now. Both times have been absolutely lovely. The rooms are clean and well maintained. Very comfortable beds. The grounds are well kept. The pool is spotless. The staff is very polite and welcoming. Absolutely the best customer service. The price is by far the best for the quality of the room and service. 10/10 will always recommend.

Very clean which was the most important. The train in the middle of the night was very loud though.. but for the price I’d say overall satisfied.

This place is an excellent value for anyone needing a place to sleep before or after visiting cedar point! The rooms are very clean and comfortable, the breakfast has plenty of cold and hot options and friendly service, and we had nothing but great service from the front desk who were even able to find my son’s watch he left in the room and hold it for us! For the price it is clearly not going to be a luxury resort but it is the perfect spot to get some rest just a couple of blocks from the entry to Cedar Point!!!
