The rooms and beds could be more comfortable, but the rooms are built to accommodate guests with dogs. Overall, the prices are competitive with other lake view places during tourist season.

Small and family-run, the Cedar Motel is a very dog-friendly motel in a very quiet bay-view corner near Sandusky. The staff are very friendly, and the location is perfect for visiting Lake Erie. Compared to other places to stay in the area, this motel's dog policies are much better. We would definitely recommend staying here if you have a pet.

We stayed at The Cedar Motel for the total eclipse ! The stay was amazing. The Motel owner was so welcoming and made it feel like a family. We appreciated her so much. Very cool retro motel we heard was built in 1954. Very clean motel. Well maintained. The location was great for watching this event. We ate at a very nice restaurant /bar next to motel. We thank the owner for such an enjoyable stay!

We loved the property!

Pet friendly and the layout of the property is perfect for getting the dogs out quickly. Lots of room for them to run in grassy areas. The bed was comfortable and so was the room. It had everything we needed. The owner manager was excellent and super nice, excellent property. We will be back! Five stars.

Stayed there with my mom on our eclipse 2024 adventure and we were met with the loveliest of people. The motel is quaint, clean, and met all our needs. Would love to go back again just to stay there. Saundra is the best!

The only thing would be just a little bit brighter lights away from window.

Let me say I have stayed at hotel chains, & a few motels. In maine, RI, Ct, pa, middle and Southern IN, Ky & now ohio. Make sure you look at the pictures. If you want a super duper fancy place, this isn't it. From my experience, this is a typical motel(but a little better). It's exactly what the pics show. It's comfortable, cozy, and set up to be animal friendly. This is the cleanest place I have stayed. There are no stains on the sheets or blankets or floors( which i have seen in bigger chain places). It gave us a feeling of being back on the east coast with the colors, decor, and architecture. We had the larger of "queenbed" rooms. She did show us the other queen rooms before we left. While they were smaller, I still feel they would have also have just enough room for us & our dog. So if the big one wouldn't be available, I'd still go here. The queen rooms face the bay. The beds do not face the window , they face the tv. This is because of the way the building was built. YES, It is still possible to see the bay sitting on the bed. That was the whole reason I picked this place. I miss watching the sea. As with other motels &alot of hotels meals are not provided(as stated), but she does have a variety of free snacks and drinks in the office(my boyfriend loved she has a small tea selection) oh & she puts a little baggy of dog treats in the room. There are a set of dog bowls as well. There are smart tv's, with some free internet tv apps on them. If you have Disney, Paramount, etc, on your phone, you can send it to the tv from your phone. The tv's match the room #. (If you don't want to sign in on the tv.) So there are a lot more things that can be watched than in other places I have been. Saundra did answer questions we had about the area and suggested a place to see new yrs fireworks. She is a nice lady. There is a very good restaurant next store. It says fine dining, you can go in normal clothes.

The staff is fantastic, the rooms are clean and updated, the beds are super comfortable. The location for us is perfect with a boat launch 1/4mi away. There is a nice restaurant right next door, and Sandusky Bay is right across the street. And the price for the rooms are excellent

No outlet in bathroom to use a hairdryer.

The view of the bay on Lake Erie. The restaurants in walking distance.

The walls are thin so you will here other guest outside talking or their TVs. Would be a good idea to have quiet hours.

The property was very clean, and we loved the location near the water. The location made for quieter evenings.
