The two-and-a-half-pearl Comfort Inn Sandusky has a few features not always found in budget hotels, including a fine-dining
restaurant, and an indoor pool and outdoor pool with cabana bar. Its 209 guest rooms are clean and spacious, and some have jetted tubs. But bathrooms could use some updating, and while the lobby is large and bright with decorative art, some of the other common areas, such as the breakfast room, are showing their age. It's conveniently located near major attractions, but travelers with kids might prefer staying at the Quality Inn & Suites Rainwater Park, which includes a water park and a bowling alley.

Scene
Busy, resort-like property that draws families and couples
With an impressive lobby, fine-dining restaurant/nightclub,
and two spacious swimming pools, this budget-friendly hotel feels like a beachside
resort in many respects. The bright and open lobby has upscale touches like arches
and large planters above the reception desk and a nautical-theme sculpture framed
by two-story columns and mirrors. Nice upholstered sofas and armchairs in reds
and blues create a spacious sitting area in the center. They rest upon a brown
patterned rug atop lovely beige tile. The fine-dining Italian restaurant
is richly decorated with pink marble and red upholstered booths with black
granite tables. A colorful mural of an Italian coastline decorates a back wall.
Another large mural with aqua blue water and spectacular tropical fish leads to the
indoor pool, where the walls lining it are painted in a festive beach scene. Especially
during the Cedar Point season, this casual hotel bustles with tourists enjoying
Sandusky’s attractions.
Location
Along a main road south of Cedar Point, surrounded by hotels and restaurants
The Comfort Inn is located on a busy main road, about a 15-minute drive to Sandusky’s marque attraction, the Cedar Point Amusement
Park. It's surrounded by other hotels, chain restaurants, stores, and a
Walmart, which is a three-minute drive away. Approximate driving times to other area attractions
are: Sandusky Mall (six minutes), Sandusky Speedway (10 minutes), NASA Plum
Brook Station (six minutes), Keys Golf Course (three minutes), and Kalahari
Resort and Spa (four minutes). The lakefront East Harbor State Park is a 20-minute
drive, as is Port Clinton’s ferries that travel to and from Put-in-Bay and
other Lake Erie islands. Ruggles Beach is 15 minutes away by car, and Hinde Airport in
Huron is a five-minute drive. Toledo and Cleveland Airports are about an hour's drive from the hotel.
Rooms
Rooms are clean and spacious, but bathrooms are dated
The 29 rooms at the Comfort Inn Sandusky include Double and King Rooms, some of which have jetted tubs framed by mirrors and polished marble tile. Rooms with three or
four double beds are also available. Decor can vary, but most have beige walls with matching bedspreads with blue-and-white accent throws. Dark-wood furniture includes
headboards, nightstands, desks, and dressers.
There are black leather office chairs, upholstered corner armchairs, and gold
drapes. Rooms have tan granite vanities, which are either inside or outside the bathrooms. The bathrooms are small and dated, with old-style Waterpik showerheads and acrylic
shower/tub inserts. Some bathroom floors are linoleum, while others
have tile. Caulking, grout, and floors could use a refresh. All rooms come with flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers,
microwaves, mini-fridges (which can be noisy), and free Wi-Fi.
