“Clean, inexpensive but the beds are terrible.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 16, 2012 via mobile

We stayed here after a long, long day at Cedar Point. Rates and location from Cedar Point and the highway are very convenient. I was so bummed to get into our room (2 doubles) and find Trent tiny, very hard beds. After a day where your body is sore and exhausted, you hope to relax in a little softness. Not here. Room was very clean and everything else fine but I tossed on that bed the whole night.

Thank you for sharing your recent experience at our hotel. I'm sorry that you did not find the beds to your liking. Unfortunately, this is an area that we get some complaints but, by-and-large, we get a lot of compliments as well. The firmness or softness of a bed is definitely a personal preference--and I'm sorry that it didn't meet your needs. I AM glad to see that you pointed out that, other than the firmness of the bed, the room was clean and comfortable. That's evidence that our housekeeping staff continues to improve and that we are focused on providing a clean, comfortable, safe environment for all of our guests. We hope you'll choose to stay with us in the future if your travels bring you our way again!

“very poorly ran hotel.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed August 13, 2012

Let me start out by saying this; in life you always get what you pay for. American Best Value isn't cheap for normal Hotel standards but in Sandusksy it is one of the more cheaper options but I feel like they could improve in many areas. My room smelled like mildew mixed with axe body spray. My room was never probably kept. The hosekeeper never replaced our towles and nobody was at the front desk at night for use to get more towels. I caved in and went to walmart to buy a towel. The free wifi does not work don't bother trying or losing sleep over your device. It won't work. Not having a proper lobby hurts them also, There is not were to sit down and chill by their front desk. I hate that about this hotel. The main hotel staff seemed overwhelmed so I do have mercy on them but the support staff needs to step up their game. I will not ever suggest this hotel to anyone until they improve on the areas that I mentioned in my review.

Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay at our ABVI in Sandusky, Ohio. I'm sorry that your stay didn't meet your expectations--although I'm confused about your comments about the front desk not being staffed and the lobby not being "proper." Our hotel is staffed 24 hours a day. Perhaps you encountered the front desk while the staff was out in the hotel tending to another guest? Additionally, the lobby is very nicely appointed with marble floors, a granite fireplace, as well as comnfortable leather furniture. With regard to your housekeeping concerns, we continue to work with our staff in that area to provide above-and-beyond service and as the summer season continues to march forward, we continue to get better and better in this area. No matter, your comments are appreciated and they help us continue to strive for excellence. Thanks again for taking the time to write your review!

“Great place for the price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 7, 2012

The room was clean, the service was good, the place was quiet. What else do you need? After reading some of the bad reviews this place received, I was prepared for an unfavorable experience. I had the opposite -- I'll definitley stay here again.

“Basic, Some Good, Some Bad”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed August 5, 2012

Seeing others comment on the cleanliness...I see we weren't alone in our assessment. The janitorial staff needs to be retrained...towels on floor means to replace such...NOT give unfilled so only one hand and one bath towel remain. DEF did not vacuum floor.

Pool is outdoor and when we went out there at 10PM...pool and surrounding areas was dark...pool was filled with people I couldn't see...and the abandoned shopping cart in the area made us say forget it.

Really, the most basic and bland continental breakfast ever had in a hotel. Just coffee and danish. No fruit, no cereal, no juices/milk. Taught us a lesson to ask EXACTLY what is put out. Also noticed that after we hit it pretty hard (family of four) it didn't get refilled...so next guest kinda out of luck.

Above said, the front desk staff was great in terms of handling a reservation aspect.

So, for for price and location to Cedar Point, I'd sum up as place to sleep and don't expect much more.

Oh...for mgt there...you might want to think about offering a buffet breakfast in the roadhouse restaurant. We and other families def left and went down street to Perkins and other places.

Room Tip: Ask to NOT face the expressway...it wasn't that bad but still...when traveling, any usual noise...
