We’ve stayed at anchor inn two different times. It’s the perfect size for a family of four. Our recent visit to Cedar point, we stayed at a different resort and I wish we would have stayed at Anchor Bay Inn instead…

Good Value and Close enough

Close enough to Cedar Pointe. Smaller so no amenities but perfect for just recharging to ride coasters the next day. Recent updates, streaming and comfortable beds. Our shower curtain could have used a good wash and bathroom walls could have been wiped down better, but overall pretty good.

This was a clean room with easy self check in. When we were the only ones in the building, we got upgraded free of charge which was kind of them. It was a perfect stay for two adults taking a weekend away from the kids. There was a bit of noise pollution, which is the only reason for the four stars on the "area around the property"
