We stayed at Maples during a visit to Cedar Point and it met our needs just fine. When visiting a theme park, not much time is spent hanging out in a hotel room anyway. It is very close and so handy to get to the park. The Maples is an older facility but has been well cared for. Beds are... More

Very friendly, even though it is missing some of the amenities of larger hotels and chains, I much rather spend my money on a family business. The only issue was the train that went by blowing the horn every few hours. The motel had a nostalgic feel if you like that sort of thing. I will definitely stay again next... More

The manager was really friendly, and helpful for first time traveling on my own. Donuts and coffee were offered for breakfast. We showed up with an extra person and he waved the extra fee. Accommodations were basic, one bed but enough floor space for another two people. Basic shower and hot water enough to cook cup raman.

Stayed here the night before going to cedar point. The price is right and its less than a 10min drive to the park. The owner was very nice and very helpful with directions around the city. The room was clean and perfect for what it was needed for - a place to sleep. There are railroad tracks across the street... 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
