Top Sandusky Bay Hotel Reviews

Sleep Inn & Suites Port Clinton

10/10 Excellent

"Very pleasant visit"

Anchor Bay Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"This hotel looked so cute from the outside. Inside was very clean. I noticed on at least one review stated their bed was broke. Ours also wasn’t the sturdiest in our first room. But I reached out to service and they switched our room without an issue! So big brownie points for that. I also really appreciated that their TV had the streaming apps. (Hotels normally just have cable 👎👎). The guests before us were even nice enough to stay logged in! Jk! But this hotel gets a 4.5 star rating from me!"
