This place is an excellent value for anyone needing a place to sleep before or after visiting cedar point! The rooms are very clean and comfortable, the breakfast has plenty of cold and hot options and friendly service, and we had nothing but great service from the front desk who were even able to find my son’s watch he left in the room and hold it for us! For the price it is clearly not going to be a luxury resort but it is the perfect spot to get some rest just a couple of blocks from the entry to Cedar Point!!!

Clean and convenient to cedar point. It’s very dated and the breakfast is just ok. But if you just want a place that’s a good price and clean, this is a good location.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Pros: free ample parking, affordable rate, beds were ok. Cons: dirty, property and rooms were not well maintained, with unfinished detailing, and smelled. Bugs easily can enter room (no screen door). Also, window only had one blackout curtain that doesn’t fully cover window. If you wanted light in your room, you had to sacrifice your privacy because there was no other privacy curtain. Staff were hit or miss. Was not offered basic information upon check in such as times continental breakfast was offered and where, internet access, room key sensitivity to magnets, etc. One did offer us some water, which was nice. Was placed in a higher floor room and when asked for another room that didn’t require us to climb stairs, was told that all rooms were accounted for, however I noted multiple empty rooms that were left unoccupied all night. Check out staff member made me feel like I was disturbing him. Was a cheap stay, but honestly you get what you pay for. Would definitely never stay here again.

Hotel was close to Cedar Point and the price point for labor day weekend was good. Staff was very friendly. Hotel had alot of kids and a fair amount of people hanging around in the parking lot which I suppose the hotel can not control.

Hotel was very basic and good for the price and considering we only used the room to sleep. If you are spending any time in the room I would say to upgrade to a larger hotel. The rooms have been updated but the outlets are going to be a fire hazard if not updated. Our chargers would not stay in the majority of the outlets as they were very loose. Husband wanted me to bring that up as could be a fire hazard if left like that much longer.

The overall up keep of the facility is nice. You can tell it’s family owned/operated. Our room smelled heavily of smoke and incense. The breakfast was very lacking. This has a motel feel.

We enjoyed our stay. The room was very clean and average sized for a family of 4. The complimentary breakfast was perfect - the space was very clean and was maintained (refilling and replenishing food) the whole time. The location was perfect for visiting Cedar Point. We will definitely stay here again!

Checked in to the hotel after Cedar Point closed at midnight. Desk clerk was very friendly and supplied us with some bottled water. The room was clean and the bathroom looked like it had been remodeled at some point. The breakfast was basic but fine for us since we don't usually eat breakfast. The hotel is very close to Cedar Point.
