This is a lovely hotel, perfectly located on the beach and next to the ferry terminal. The rooms were lovely and clean and the staff really friendly. The restaurant on the bottom floor of the hotel was an unexpected surprise and the food and service were amazing!
We just wished we had booked to stay longer. The photos of the hotel really don’t do it justice, it’s much nicer even in real-life.

There’s no lobby, everything is done over the phone and hard to reach anyone. Be prepared for lots of stairs. Tight stairs that is. But it a cool idea. But very over priced.

Just okay

This was in the basement of the house so it was very dark, and the lighting was absolutely terrible. The bed was comfortable. The coffee maker didn't work. The neighborhood is a bit questionable, however, just minutes from downtown so that was nice. We stayed only one night and it was just okay.

Overall, it was a nice place with a good location and price. However, a few things were broken that was a slight annoyance. Also, there were no curtains on the windows which made the room super bright and difficult to sleep.

The positives: wonderfully renovated large classic old home. We stayed in the large downstairs adjoining rooms (units C&D). My sister-in-law was joining my wife and I to see their family in Sandusky. Room(s) were beautiful. Beds were comfortable. Nice little kitchen; had a washer/dryer. Price was good.

The negatives (quirks): There's no staff; it's all automated. We stayed there in January 2025 and there was snow and ice, and no one to shovel the snow or sweep off the stairs or walkways - a bit dangerous. Inside our rooms there was nowhere to put clothes (no closets or armoires, no shelves or drawers). Our bathroom was huge, but nowhere to put toiletries (we had to put them on the floor).

Overall a very good stay. Just a few things needed (that you would've thought they would've thought of!)...

The unit that we stayed in was comfortable and cute. The only complaint we had was staying in the lower level. The people who stayed above us were up late and were very loud. We could hear everything from them walking across the floor to hearing them talking, until 3:00 AM. The room was not very sound proof. We would request a top floor unit next visit.

This place is absolutely beautiful! Instead of renting a hotel room, I wanted to stay somewhere with a more homey feeling that was quiet enough for me to relax after doing my homework. So glad I decided to choose The Washington because it was exactly what I needed and was looking for! I will definitely stay here anytime I’m in Sandusky and have already highly recommended it to my family and friends.

Very cute and comfortable unit. Very clean and nicely decorated. Comfortable mattress. Unit has refrigerator dishwasher and microwave. There is also a coffee maker and dishes. The location is right downtown and walkable to restaurants. You can hear the sounds of the other units but other customers were pretty respectful. I highly recommend staying here if you like to be away from more busy locations, there is traffic and some foot traffic but very peaceful. This place did not disappoint and I will stay here again!

This was such a cute and unique stay. Very thoughtfully designed with old elements from the building and modern upgrades. Short walk to downtown restaurants. Several off street parking spaces. Way more space than a regular hotel room.

We had a problem checking in since we booked on Expedia, we didn't get the door access code emailed to us, it went to an Expedia email address by mistake. It took a few minutes to get through to someone and work through the problem, but whoever we spoke to was incredibly nice and patient, so props to them.

Everything was excellent aside from the noise. It sounded like people were running on treadmills in the room above us until 2am every night. The walls of the old house are paper thin so you can hear everything. Room is beautiful but I think it would benefit greatly from having a king size bed versus the queen that’s in there now

Pet friendly has its pros and cons

Amazing location, Sandusky & especially this neighborhood felt like mid-1900s all Americana, while remaining diverse and just the right amount of touristy. The property itself is gorgeous. Beautiful room & furnishing. However, the room smelled strongly of wet dog. Especially in the kitchen, which made preparing food unpleasant. Perhaps the last guests dog slept on the rugs in there? Our room was the suite in the basement and was incredibly affordable, especially for all it had to offer. Being in the basement though, we heard our neighbors stomping above us and their dog scraping across the floor/barking throughout the evening and early in the morning. I honestly would come back though. And do appreciate a pet friendly hotel despite the potential downside for letting the littlest members of our families travel with the people.

Lacking comfort…

I was really excited about this 2 bedroom place, well located to stay with my husband and 2 kids, but it was a rough 2 nights. We were in units C/D, the ones with the wood paneling and fireplace.
In the first bedroom, the door to the outside has a window with a very light white curtain, meaning the room does not get dark, a problem at night with kids and for us in the morning.
Above that door is a VERY VERY bright red EXIT sign, which lights up your room keeping it even brighter.
The bed is metal and very creaky every time you turn.
The bathroom is a great size, but not a single inch of counter space or a table or a shelf…we had to move a small side table from the other bedroom to put our toiletries.
The toilet paper holder is falling off the wall and the roll keeps falling.
Also, there were all the cleaning supplies just out on the hallway, not in a closet somewhere…not great with a 2yo that gets into everything.
The house is nice from the outside, but definitely very old and creaks every time you walk, and the walls/ceilings are made of paper. We could hear the loud tv from the below neighbors and the creaking of walking above us.
The porch is nice but could definitely use a good wash, just felt so dirty with bugs and webs.
The pictures of the other units look much more modern and updated…
The kitchen was nice and updated, the other bathroom had a normal counter. Other bedroom was ok with a remote controlled AC unit.
I expected more of a hotel feel than a home…

The good:

Aesthetics. It's an awesome building that's been really beautifully restored.

Location. Downtown Sandusky and the waterfront are a short walk away. Stores like Target are a ten minute drive at most. Cedar Point is even closer.

Amenities. Dishwasher, fridge, oven, washer/dryer. The shower's water pressure was better than any other hotel I've stayed at this year.

The bad:

None of these are so bad as to subtract a star, just minor annoyances.

As other reviews have noted, the noise isolation is pretty poor, so you're going to hear other people around you.

Toiletries were mostly run down when we arrived, so we had to purchase toilet paper and soap.

There was an odd, high-pitched whine coming from one wall for the entirety of our trip. I assume it was a water heater or air conditioner or something, but it wasn't a fun sound.

The place was very nice. More than enough space for 2 people. Clean and overall great minus a couple of things. The coffee machine was dirty from previous guest, coffee mugs were also dirty from previous guest, almost all shower amenities were empty as well as soap in the bathroom was watered down. There were 2 other major downfalls. It was 100% not soundproof. You could hear the people above walking/talking as well as there was only a paper thin wall dividing our room to the guests next door. You could hear every bit of their conversation as well as the TV that was on. There also was no divide between the kitchen and bedroom area to help cut some of the light from the exit sign that illuminated in the kitchen. It looked as though a pocket door used to be there but is no longer used. There was also a big beautiful window in the kitchen which was amazing but not in the morning when the sun would shine in. These aren’t “deal breakers” per se, but that is why I can’t give this property all 5’s. Overall it is extremely nice, easy to get in and out of as well as it is conveniently located in town!

A Perfect Stay

Recently stayed at The Washington in Sandusky, and I must say, it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the owner takes great pride in maintaining the historic house. The property was spotless and beautifully decorated, making for a very welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.

The amenities provided were top-notch and catered to every possible need. The property had a beautiful kitchen with great appliances, two-large washrooms with a washer, dryer and detergent, and a gorgeous deck.

The check-in and check-out process was smooth and efficient. Instructions on the unit and parking were very clear and provided the day of our arrival.

Overall our stay at The Washington was nothing short of perfect. I highly recommend this property over any chain hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-maintained, and amenity-rich place to stay. We will definitely be returning on our next trip!

Quaint spot close to cedar point

Unit and location were great! We came up for a weekend to go to cedar point and it was a great spot and very quaint. Only complaint: the website, app and hotel state that you’ll get your access code 24 hours beforehand. We had left for the trip day of and still didn’t receive a code. After several attempts at trying to reach the hotel, finally got someone who then told me that they don’t send that out until 1PM the day of. This is and was fine, however, the posting and details should be updated to reflect that.

Difficulty checking in. The property
Never sent us an email with instructions. Apartment was in basement which I guess was fine. Would have been nice to be on an upper floor. They said lower level which I did not interpret as basement. Nice bed and kitchen and bathroom were lovely. Needed a couch in living room. The little thing that was in there was very uncomfortable. Amenities in shower were nice. Could have used more coffee as we’re staying two nights.

Our room was tastefully renovated. However, we were in a room at basement level and the washer and dryer were next door. The soundproofing is not great. When the folks across the hall came in at 3:00 a.m. we could clearly hear them walking down the hallway and talking for the next hour. In the bathroom, we could hear talking from the room next door. Walking in the room above us was also clearly heard. A few additional amenities would have made it much nicer, for example, boxes of kleenex, comfortable seating from which to watch the TV (there was only one small, uncomfortable loveseat and a table with two hard chairs from which to watch), and the bed pillows were lumpy, cheap, and awful. It would also have been nice to have some information in the room regarding restaurants and shopping and a map of downtown. There was an outdated Sandusky publication from years prior (I think pre-covid) which was not helpful and did not include a map of the downtown area.
