Summary: We’ve stayed here prior to the renovation, and it was a very rundown, nasty property. It’s definitely updated but in the most minimal, cheap way possible. I’d guess they’re not that experienced. The shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc., were in big bottles that could easily be opened and contaminated by previous guests. It should at least be locked like the Hilton does so you can be confident it wasn’t tampered with. The bedding had a lot of hair and debris. I don’t appreciate the decorative pillows that were really dirty. Either get rid of them or keep them on the seat and not the bed. Everyone knows they cannot be cleaned and are frankly unsanitary. I don’t want something unwashed where I lay my head to sleep. There is a lot of hair and dander on the sides of the bed frame. We also found trash from the previous guest behind the nightstand. The clock in the room didn’t work because it didn’t have batteries. There was only one trash can in the bathroom, none in the room area. The bathroom sink is slanted; we originally thought it was falling off the wall. The shelves and light fixture was crooked. It was cheaper but still not cheap enough for the condition and how dirty it was. We wouldn’t stay here again. The only pro was being able to check in and out on your phone and skip the front desk.

Summary: My daughter is in a wheelchair and it’s hard finding places that are wheelchair accessible and this place is definitely wheelchair accessible. They have a roll in shower and plenty of room for my daughter to move around in.

Summary: The team at Explorer were great to work with. They were super accommodating. We had booked a 3 day stay but the. We realized we needed an extra day. They gave us a late checknout on our first room And then an early check in on our new room. The suite we stayed in was spacious amd clean. The beds were comfortable and the room had a great temp. The linens were clean as well as the towel, which there were plenty. The kichenette worked for our needs. The Explorer is super close to Cedar Point was super close and easy to get to. Only about 10 mins to downtown Sandusky which had some great options for food.

Summary: I'm not one to get excited about sheets and towels, especially for a last minute trip, but my goodness, these were delightful! The bed was super comfortable. You can't beat the sport's proximity to Cedar Point, and it sure beat driving home 2 hours. I'd love to give it a shot with the kids some time. The TV was absurdly hard to work (though if I could have figured it out I think it would be amazing.) An instruction manual for that would have been a nice touch.
