Located in a parking lot behind a Mexican restaurant wasn’t very appealing. Front desk person was friendly. Clean with comfortable beds and bedding. Good shower pressure and hot water and heater worked well. Didn’t expect full size beds. Must have missed that so glad my tall husband wasn’t part of this stay. Soap and small shampoo available, no conditioner. Recommend bringing your own products. Fridge was a good size and microwave included. Recommend that econolodge breakfast includes water in the future. They did have milk, apple juice, cereal, bagels with cream cheese and waffles as well as coffee and tea. More food options than expected.

perfect stay - Friendly staff, quick check-in/out. Great little quick breakfast of waffles, bagels ,cereal, oatmeal, tea & coffee in the morning. so many things close by. Stayed in February, room was warm & cozy. I might not choose this room during the summer tourist season as you would probably hear a lot from the surrounding rooms if it was busier/parking lot that is shared with a restaurant.

Great place, great stay!
We have stayed at the Sandusky Econo Lodge about 5 times in the last 2 years, and it is a great place for a great value. The rooms are clean and smell clean, the staff is very accommodating, and the breakfast is just enough to get us on our way in the morning. I would recommend to anyone looking for a good hotel in Sandusky to stay at the Econo Lodge.

I didn't like the fact that we found a bloody tampon on the floor beside the bed. They sent someone to come and get it with an "I'm sorry"On the day we were checking out we asked if we could extend our checkout time by 4 hours until 3. We were told no they couldn't do that.We were offered no compensation.

A nice, quiet, clean place to stay for cheap. Was a little worried when we only saw one other car there, but it turned out to be quite clean and nice for the price. Staff was on duty all night, bed was comfy, water pressure was good, no bugs. We didn’t check out the breakfast but it seemed alright with a waffle maker, pastries, and drinks. Stayed on a Sunday evening after a day at Kalahari during the holiday season. Many places to eat nearby, we ordered U Ramen for dinner and went to the Sandusky Bay Pancake house for breakfast, both were pretty good.
