“Review Comfort Inn Maingate Sandusky”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 17, 2012

Hotel was close to Cedar Point. Rooms were a little outdated but clean. Reasonable for price. The staff was very courtious and friendly. The outdoor pool was closed down for the season and had a dead squirrel floating in it. To my knowledge there was no fitness room or equipment. If you are looking for a no frills hotel to lay your head after a long day at Cedar Point, this hotel should work for you.

Thanks for taking the time to relate your recent experience at our hotel.

I'm a bit surprised that anyone would think that our rooms are out-dated simply because ALL of our rooms and public spaces have been completely renovated and refreshed during the last year. If there was something specific that you were looking for or something that we overlooked, please feel free to email me directly at z.paul.reynolds@rutahotels.com.

I am also sorry that the pool was closed during your stay but as you know, the climate that we're in somewhat dictates when it is feasible and not feasible to operate the pool. Unfortunately, we can't control mother nature :)

At any rate, thanks for your comments and I'm glad that your overall stay was enjoyable and met your needs! We hope to welcome you back during a future visit to our area!

“Good for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

They had a great breakfast. We were able to check in early. Very close to Cedar Point entrance. Only complaint was that we could hear the shower from the next room and it would interfere with our TV signal.

Thanks for taking the time to rate and review your recent stay at the Comfort Inn Maingate. We're very glad to hear that you enjoyed the accommodations and our expansive full breakfast--it's something that we continually work on improving.

Thanks, also, for letting us know about hearing the shower from the next room. Although I'm not certain anything can be done structurally to prevent this, knowing it was an issue for you and bringing it to our attention will allow us to look into the matter.

We look forward to your return visits and can't wait to welcome you back in the future!

The desk staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was very spacious as we had 4 people in our room. The rooms were very clean and quiet. The continential breakfast was great and the hotel lobby area was very nice. We received welcome bags upon arrival which was a very nice touch. I would recommend this hotel to any traveler.

“Room was very nice”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 14, 2012

I was little concerned when we drove up to the hotel. The outside looked a little worn but the inside was very nice. We arrived before noon on a Saturday to just see if we could check in before we went to Cedar Point for the day. I was very surprised when our rooms were available and we could check in right then. All the employees of the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were very nice and clean. The breakfast was very good. I'm not a big fan of outdoor entrances but I would definitely recommend this hotel again if you want a close hotel to Cedar Point.

Thank you for your very candid and positive review of your recent stay at the Comfort Inn Maingate. As you noted, we are an "exterior" property but as you also noted, this does not take away from the fact that we have accommodations and staff that are second-to-none in the industry. All of our rooms and public areas have undergone a massive transformation and renovation in the past year and you'll be happy to know that we've also been working on the "curb appeal" and exterior appearance of the property.

Thank you for the recommendations and we hope to welcome you back during a future visit to our area!
