Favorite place to stay and why!

Favorite place to stay and why! There has been numerous topics on worst hotel/motel, or posts on places to stay and so forth. But nothing on favorite place to stay and why. Is there a place that brings back really good memories? I like to stay at Bayshore. Granted its not dead silent but I have camped there for many summers now and have not had a problem with people being to loud or partying. I like it because its cheap, and lots of fun.Hanging with my friends around a huge campfire telling jokes and making calzones with the iron skillet-like things! I also like Breakers, I stayed there once with my family and the sunrise is awesome on the beach in front of Breakers! So is there any other places that might hold a special reason to you guys? Or just love to stay at the great hotel? That and the offseason is really getting to me being 44 degrees out today!

Favorite would be Lighthouse Point, although I haven't personally stayed there yet, I've been in the cottages with friends/relatives. Lots of room to spread out and relax. I especially like the decks. Staying on point is still my favorite thing to do.

Second would be Breakers Express, only because it's cheaper, it's close, and the rooms are nice.

Very Simply - Lighthouse Point.....Not even a close second to anything/anywhere else and I have stayed in ALOT of places both on the point and off....

Its a tad expensive - $285.00 a night, but it sleeps 6 comfortably - you can get another couple to share and then its cheap....Its clean, comfortable, lots of amenities - 2 TVs, Nukewave, Kitchenette, grill....The pool area is great for kids - a mini-tadpole town setup...And arcade and Laundry add to the benefits...

In the long run, its very affordable as you can make your own meals via grill or other...Stockpile Adult beverages in the fridge....And nothing beats sitting out on the deck at sunset/night and overlooking Sandusky Bay and sipping on a favorite beverage....

For a complete getaway - Lighthouse Point is *really* hard to beat....

How far in advance do you need resorvations for Lighthouse Point? We are planning a trip with a few small children so we want to stay one night plus have somewhere to go for the kids to take a mid-day nap. We usually plan our trips around the weather but this is the first year we're taking kids so it won't as spontanuas (can't spell)

I have heard Lighthouse Point sells out quickly, so I wouldn't wait too long. I tried booking a Lighthouse Point room for mid July and everything was already sold out according to the CP online reservations.

Lighthouse Point. For all the reasons mentioned above.

Hotel Breakers, tower section, corner suite/ lakeview. Yes it does cost a large chunk of $$, but you can sleep 6, balcony, kitchen w/ fridge, microwave and table (so you can bring your own food), master bedroom w/ whirlpool tub surrounded by glass (so you can look at yourself in the mirror ;) ) And having TGI Fridays open till late and a indoor pool. The list goes on!

------------------
Beer and golf Thursday thru Monday, Cedar Point & beer, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Lighthouse point. For a family, the space cannot be beat.

Unlike many, we prefer the cabins to the cottages. The sleeping layout in the cabins is more to our liking---the kids love sleeping up in the loft, so we parents get the private bedroom to ourselves, and can kick around the living space without much fear of waking them up. They also can be closer to the gate, making the long trek back with wiped out kids in a wagon easier to cope with.

edit: the cabins have tub/shower combos, while the cottages are shower-only. My kids are not yet shower fans.

Hotel Breakers. I can't really comment on any other but Breakers Express. Breakers Express was nice but being right there and being able to just walk to the park is the best. I like Breakers because of its location. You can walk right to the beach whenever you want. Also T.G.I. Fridays in the hotel. Plus Krispy Kreme donuts! Yum! Really anything where you get to go in early:)

As soon as possible if you want your choice of dates....I have already made mine for our trip in June....You can easily get the dates you want now - but once May rolls around, it gets dicey - there are only a limited amount of the cottages & cabins (even though they are expanding)....

No matter how many nights you stay - you only need to pay for the first night to secure the reservation - thats pretty reasonable.....

Make your reservations NOW. Many dates during peak times are already sold out.

My favorite place to stay is Hotel Breakers because I love being near a beach. I also like to walk back to the hotel after enjoying a long day at the park.

I stay at Maples Motel (just west of Chaussee entrance) on Cleveland Rd. The lady that owns it is SO nice and her pool is 8 feet deep! Her rates are VERY reasonable. I then take the Chaussee and beat all the causeway traffic!

The Villager hotel became an instant favorite during a weekend visit last May. It's 3.5 miles from the front gate and offers above average facilities. Our room with 2 double beds was roughly $80 with tax.

Favorite place that I've actually stayed: BonAir wing of the Breakers. Hands down. Nothing like waking up in the morning, throwing open the curtains and having both Maggie and Millie outside your window.

Favorite place I haven't stayed: Pete's boat. About the time the park closes until the wee hours - that has to be a rockin' good time (o/' livin' la vida loca o/')
