Best Western Plus Sandusky Hotel & Suites
All-suite rooms and free breakfast near Sandusky's own attractions
About this hotel
Best Western Plus Sandusky Hotel & Suites trades peninsula proximity for extra room, putting families in all-suite layouts a short taxi from downtown Sandusky rather than at the Cedar Point gates directly. The free breakfast gets everyone fed before a park morning, and the indoor pool gives toddlers a splash option on a cool evening after the older kids have had their fill of the outdoor water park. Tweens and teens tend to use the fitness center or just spread out in the extra suite space, while parents appreciate the free parking on a trip that involves shuttling between Sandusky's museums and the peninsula. The suite layout, more than any single amenity, is what separates a longer family stay here from a standard double down the road.

Our take
This suits a family that wants more room than a standard double and doesn't mind a short drive to Cedar Point Shores itself. The indoor pool and free breakfast cover the basics well, and the suite layout genuinely helps with a toddler's nap schedule. It's a weaker fit for a family set on walking straight from the room to the park gates, since that convenience belongs to the on-site Cedar Point Resorts properties instead.
- ✓Book the suite layout specifically if a toddler's nap schedule matters, since the separate space lets younger kids sleep while others stay up.
- ✓Eat the free breakfast early if you're aiming for park opening, since Cedar Point's gates draw the longest lines in the first hour.
- ✓Reserve well ahead for a summer weekend; this all-suite format is popular with families beyond just Cedar Point visitors.

Why guests love itThe suite layout made the biggest difference for us: our toddler napped through the afternoon in the separate room while the rest of us stayed close by, which never worked in a standard double on past trips. Free breakfast meant we were out the door and at the Cedar Point gates before the first big line formed, and the indoor pool became the default evening activity once everyone was too tired for anything else after a full water park day.
