“No need for so many negative reviews”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

Myself & my husband just got back from 2 nights here. I gave it a very good rating only based on you get what you pay for. When we got there it was an hour before check in, the girl at the desk was more than friendly & helpful getting us in an hour early. Our room was clean & so was the bathroom, with plenty of towels even shampoo & hair dryer. The room had a safe in it large enough for my iPad & purse. The bed was comfortable, (ask for extra pillow, only had 3 & I use 2) . The tv was outdated, but it had all the channels & it worked so what more do you want. The Roadhouse located In the hotel was great, the food was delicious. The location was terrific. So all in all it was nice. If you want the Ritz go pay for it !!! This is not it, nor do they charge like it is!!

“"Average"”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 15, 2012

After reading the reviews on this the hotel my wifey and I did not want to stay 3 nights in such a place. However we decide to try it out anyways and it was not as bad as the reviews we read. We were not looking for a Five Star Hotel so we got what we paid for. The main reason for the stay was Cedar Point Amusement Park therefore we were barely in the room. Our room & bathroom was clean, the few hours we did sleep in the bed we had NO problems. When we stay in budget hotels we bring our own towels, personals, pillows and sheets just a habit. As I mention before we got what we paid for a place to store our luggage, hot shower and a bed to crash in after hours and hours fun at Cedar Point. Now if you want to getaway and relax like the comfort of your home choose a Five Star Hotel.

Room Tip: Don't compare Budget Hotels with Five Star Hotels

“Worst EVER”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed August 21, 2012

Checked into first room and it was dirty,window sill had cig ashes on it (non-smoking room) mold on bathroom wall and cieling,dirty towels,not vaccumed.Second room was no better. Not even sure if the doors around the back where we parked locked at all during the night we just walked in. Kids swam in pool and found empty medicine bottles laying around, also pool in need of closing and overhaul.This place can be geared to the budget guest but it does not take alot to be clean. Immediatley checked out and found another place that night - will never be back.

I am extremely disappointed to hear of your recent encounter with our hotel. As a seasonal property, we have to work very hard with our seasonal staff to ensure that they understand the quality standards that we want to impart to all of our guests. Although this is a continual process, we believe that our standards have improved (as evidenced by other good comments about our property). Please treat this as an isolated incident and give us another opportunity in the future to prove our continual committment to quality and guest satisfaction!

“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!
