Solid place to stay. Breakfast wasn't amazing. Our room was decent and the staff were friendly. If you're going to Cedar Point and want a reasonably priced place to stay that's close to the park, South Shore Inn is a good choice.

Close and convenient for Cedar Point. Pool wasn’t open because it’s October. We had an issue with ants in our room, but the staff responded quickly and were super helpful. Breakfast was simple but very good and the lady was super kind and helpful! Would definitely stay again!
