This is where I go if I am visiting Cedar point. I usually do that two or three times each summer. I paid a little more than some of the other cheaper hotels. What I got was a hotel that was considerably better. Very nice. Well kept. The lobby looks fantastic. The pool and hot tub are what brings me in. I love it. I would definitely recommend trying out this place. They even have some breakfast as well. They even have some breakfast as well.

We loved staying here and would definitely come back!! Only issue we had was we felt rushed before checkout - the housekeeping staff kept coming back and even started walking in one time without knocking. I feel there needs to be better communication with her so she knows who is and is not checked out yet. If checkout is at 12 I shouldn’t have to tell someone 2-3x that we are still in there between 10:30 and 11:15. She was very kind so I wasn’t necessarily upset with her but someone needs to be better at communicating with her so she knows who hasn’t checked out yet. Grounds were beautiful and well maintained and room was comfy. We had a nice stay while visiting cedar point for our anniversary! pool and hot tub were fabulous and very clean.

Very clean and comfortable stay. The pool and hot tub were very nice. Breakfast was good. Staff was friendly. As others have stated, the property is a bit dated. Our room had a bit of a musty smell to it. Also, not the property's fault, but located very close to train tracks so could hear train horns all night. Would definitely consider staying here again next time we're in the area.

I’m normally a 5 star get the review over with kinda guy but… The beds felt like sleeping on concrete. The room was clean. The door leading to the outside was very flimsy and the door trim was not sturdy at all. We had a light bulb out in our room. Pretty sketchy to say the least. DEFINITELY not worth the $600 dollars I spent on 4 travelers, 2 rooms.

Overall our stay was good. We enjoyed having Cedar Point just a few minutes away. The only issue we really encountered was the fact that the tile floor was extremely cold & always had condensation on it. Both my kids almost slipped & fell on the wet floor.

The staff are welcoming, but the hotel is overpriced considering it’s facilities and the rooms status. Like there is basically nothing in the hotel, the rooms are outside.
