Has so much potential. Bar was very expensive. Live music stopped at 9. Could be more.

For $20 I got a Long Island ice tea served to me half filled with water. I was so confused watching him make it thinking I must be wrong till I tasted it!!!! It was the worst drink in my life.

No prices on the menu for drinks but calories is a laugh. 2 Miller Light drafts for $22 is highway robbery. This is not a pro sports venue. It also took 20 minutes to get a drink - service was poor.

The food was delicious, and we had a wonderful time, but what really made our night was that our server noticed my daughter was sad and promptly worked to fix the situation. She was kind and awesome, and we are grateful.

Quick and convenient spot to grab a drink, they do get a little swamped sometimes but you can also go into the lobby of the hotel and there is another bar in there.

Ohio's Caribbean Tiki Bar! This place is great, yes, a bit expensive, but hey, you're at cedar point! nice beachside bar with umbrella tables, breathtaking view of the beach and lake (feels like the ocean), live entertainment, good drinks and food (from perkins). Always puts a smile on my face!
Kid-friendliness: life-size board games, beach, sand
Wheelchair accessibility: smooth sidewalk from boardwalk, bathrooms with rails and automated, wide doors, plenty of room

Lady who made the drink was very nice and was working pretty fast considering how many people were ordering. Drink was good but did have a touch to much ice.

Great location for some much needed food and drink while spending the day at the CP Beach. But the bartender gave zero cares about anyone or anything. $3.75 for about 90mL of ginger ale as the cup was filled to the brim with ice. Food was pricey, greasey and dismissively waved at us without a single word said. Just ew. I'll bring my own food and drink to the beach next time just to avoid this poor customer service.

You cant beat the convenience of hotel breakers! Clean, modern rooms. We had a great screened-in balcony that overlooked the pool and lake. It doesn’t come cheap, but it is well worth the price. On site restaurants, very short walk to the beach and Cedar Point. Just park your car and enjoy your vacation, everything you need is there. This was our second trip to hotel breakers and cedar point and definitely will not be our last.
Cedar Point is an incredible park all in it's own, but this is what makes it a legendary vacation. You can walk to the park and waterpark in a couple minutes and there are a few dining options within your reach. Plus if you get a window room, you will either have a great view of lake eerie or the best rollercoasters around. Plus you can see Snoopy in the lobby at the right time. Downsides? It's basically a Holiday Inn. Just with a really nice coat of paint. Rooms can be a tad small, but nothing worth complaining about. It can be pricy, but is well worth the cost.

If you’re looking for frozen food THIS is your place! Kitchen staff doesn’t use gloves or hair nets!
We stayed twice during the 2022 season - once for two nights in August, and again over the busiest Halloweekends in October. Both visits, our family of four stayed in a Queen suite with two Queen beds in the bedroom, a sofa bed in the living area, a small kitchenette, bathroom and balcony. Yes, it’s expensive. But you are sandwiched between one of the best amusement parks in the US and the prettiest beach area in Sandusky. You’re paying for location and the ability to park your car and not move it for the remainder of your stay, all necessities within walking distance. All your necessities are within walking distance, meaning there’s no need to leave the peninsula and fight the traffic coming back in. Keeping that in mind - we all know there is a hiring crisis, and Sandusky is not immune to that; if anything, Sandusky has it worse due to a low year round population, meaning seasonal places like Hotel Breakers and it’s restaurants struggle to find adequate staff. Everyone we interacted with was pleasant and helpful, despite being overworked. Our waitress at TGIFriday’s during Halloween explained the three hour wait for a table the previous evening was due to having to close the restaurant for an hour from 7-8 because all of the staff had been there since 11am with no break. This is the situation EVERYWHERE in Sandusky; you’re not going to avoid it by staying elsewhere. We loved our stay, and will continue to return every year that we have Cedar Fair platinum passes.
The Long Islands will get u lit
Location of this hotel gets one star. Have very basic room gets the other star. That's about IT. This hotel is not cheap, but boy when you folk out that kind of money you also have higher expectation. And the Breaker's had come far far below expectation. Check-in: It was a quick process since we checked in very late. The person behind the counter did his thing but he mumbled the whole time, had to ask him to speak louder a couple of times and still had to struggle to hear what he had to say. There was also some vomit looking substance on his uniform shirt. Very disgusting and unprofessional for a hotel front desk staff. Room: (Fasten your seat belt). The rooms were tidy but very very dirty. Lots of sand on bathroom floor, sand on the chairs. TV covered with dust, just run your finger crosse it and ewwww. We had 2 rooms, with half a roll of sanding paper like one-ply toilet paper in each room. Together we were given 1 roll for 4 people for a 3 nights stay. Each bathroom had 1 small bottle of shampoo and conditioner, 1 square inch of soap that dissolved almost completely after 1 shower. The other room had a slightly bigger and different brand soap. I wonder if they got their supplies from dollar tree, while quantity last. I can also tell the bathroom floor was not mopped before we arrived. I spilled some water on the bathroom floor, I threw some precious sanding toilet paper to soak up the water. They came out BLACK. It's extremely disgusting. There's no housekeeping for our entire stay, it's probably fine as I really don't think housekeeping does anything proper. On check-out day at 8-ish am, 3 knocks on the door.... it was housekeeping!! Still half asleep I called down to the front desk and tried to understand why we didn't have housekeeping until check-out day. The answer was, housekeeping only given every 3 days. Makes me wonder, if I let them do housekeeping that morning, and then checked out at 11am, would housekeeping come back to clean for the next guest? Well the sandy and dirty bathroom floor that welcome our arrival 3 days earlier probably answered that question. BTW, the hotel phone was very dirty too, handset was sticky. Food: Good and Bad. Japanese place - it's fine. Perkins - also fine, and the waitress was well trained and on the ball. Starkbucks - NOT GOOD. down an espresso machine, took forever to get coffee. TGIF - NOT GOOD. foods are average, but the wait staff were not very well trained. Simple things like clearing dirty plates from table took forever, our wait staff walked past us numerous times but didn't seem to clue in that she should take away the plates. We finally did it ourselves and put the dirty plates away to make room for main course. Washroom in hotel lobby: Not clean. This washroom right across from the gift shop probably gets a lot of use. As soon as I walked in, I saw 5-6 used toilet paper rolls with maybe a sheet left each, all lined up on the grab bar of the stall. There is not ONE toilet paper roll that has reasonable amount of sheet left. Also, pieces of toilet paper scattered on the floor. How on earth their cleaning staff manage to let this happen without restocking supplies and cleaning the floor is beyond me? (I wish I have a picture to show the shocking scene I walked into) This is the 2nd time we stay at the Breakers, would I come back? definitely not unless the hotel has some very drastic improvement, but boy that is quite a long list - where do you even begin?
I stayed at the hotel with my two kiddos (age 9 an 10) and we had a blast!! We did not go to Cedar Point or the waterpark and still had a great time!! We spent three days at the beach, pool, hot tub, and splash pad and it was relaxing and peaceful. We also took the Jet Express to Putt-in-Bay for a day. I love the convenience of getting on the Jet Express at the Cedar Point marina and the shuttle from the hotel to the marina. I never had to move my car from the time we got there to the day we left, everything you need is at the hotel!! I only have two complaints.... one, of course, is the cost of the rooms and restaurants in the hotel $$$$$$$. I would have loved to stay a couple of more nights, but at that price point it would have been least expensive to actually go to the ocean. The second is that the hotel does not provide chairs on the beach. At this price point, I do not think that hotel provided beach chairs is an unreasonable request :) Overall, we can't wait to go back next year (and fingers crossed there are chairs on the beach)!!!
