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.

Love the place! Convenient location to downtown Sandusky. Highly recommended.

Loved staying at The Washington! One of my favorite stays to date. Very clean, spacious, beautifully decorated. Beds were very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again, and recommend to others!

Beautiful renovated guest house! Walkable and tastefully decorated. My only addition would be to have a water filter (there was none) and you can hear neighboring units so bring ear plugs if that bothers you.

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

Beautiful property!!

It was great. Got it last minute for a great price. Place is within walking distance of eating, drinking, ferries, etc. The only time we heard a noise was the stairwell and walking above, similar to apartment life. Private kitchen with everything you need. Nicely decorated and comfortable.

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.

I booked the property for my daughter and her friend to stay there while they were in town for a convention. They really enjoyed it! They said the would definitely stay there again!

The room was SO cute and clean. I will definitely stay there again.

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!

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!
