We had already made our reservations for Saturday night and it was Thursday evening and we decided to go Friday morning and we called and Steve said he could accomodate us on Friday evening too. We had the family suite room 1. It was great the beds were so comfortable and the hot water in the shower was great. We... More

My family decided to take a trip to Cedar Point before the kids went back to school. Just as anybody else that wanted to be close to the park without spending too much money, we decided to read reviews of this motel. Upon arrival we noticed the sign and other ancient artifacts like the hammock, cabins and worn down surroundings.... More

We regret that we did not know about these issues while you were here. Had we known, we would have done our best to resolve your concerns. Our cabins were built in 1920 and offer travelers an inexpensive night close to the entrance to Cedar Point. Being a small family-owned motel, we pride ourselves on working hard to provide our...

As far as a great clean place to sleep that is near Cedar point goes, you can't beat this place. They have complimentary coffee and doughnuts in the morning and a decent outdoor pool. The rooms are clean and the grounds are well kept. If you are excepting 5 star, lux accomodations you probably shouldn't be looking for a $60... More

The Maples Motel is nothing special to look at, and the beds are hard as a rock, but the staff is incredibly pleasant, and the price is right. Hotels in Sandusky are ridiculously overpriced for what you get - generally speaking, they all leave a LOT to be desired in the cleanliness department. I think the idea is that they... More

There are family vacations and then there are family vacations. Think back to the days where the kids piled into the back of a station wagon and bunked up together in a hotel room, singing songs, playing games, and driving each other nuts. This is the Maples Motel. We came across the Maples driving home from Cedar Point one day.... More

This is my second stay at the Maples Motel. I spent the entire week there while practicing for a bass tournament. Since I was alone I had room 6 which has 1 queen bed. The room does have a window unit AC but it kept the room cold. There is also a mini fridge which really came in handy for... More

I have travelled extensively and stayed in everything from an 18 dollar a night room in Barstow to the Presidential Suite at the St Regis Grand in Rome. When I look back on my various travel destinations it is not often that I associate my hotel stay as part of the memory or experience. This would be an exception. My... More

We stayed here during a cedar point trip. This hotel is an excellent substitute for staying inside the parks at Cedar Point. It is right off the major road, has a pool and some nature areas on site, and it an overall old-timey feel to it. Granted the train does run across the street (I'm a heavy sleeper and couldn't...

My son and I stayed here for 2 nights on the Labour Day weekend for $162 total as we were going to Cedar Point. Our room had 2 double beds, fridge and colour TV. There is an outdoor pool as well.
