My boyfriend and I decided to go on an impromptu trip to Cedar Point, and wanted a cheap place to stay. Avalon Inn is really good for the price and was just what we needed. It's only a couple miles from the park, which is really nice as well. Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a cheap place to stay while visiting Cedar Point.

Everything was fine. Sure, a tiny bit dated, but plenty clean and impossible to beat for the price. I accidentally booked for the wrong day and they fixed it. I would (and probably will) absolutely come back when visiting cedar point, as long as the secret doesn’t get out.

The bed was in decent shape but overall layout and vibes of the motel, you can definitely tell why its so cheap and has a low rating

The owner informed us that they had just opened the week prior. Whatever issues we had they fixed and accommodated us without hassle. We will be going back and staying there as it is only a 5 min drive to our destination.

The deadbolt on the door did not work. One of the light switches/lights in the room did not work. There were people sitting in cars late at night. Because this hotel is so close to an amusement park people are checking in late, but these people in several cars were there for long periods of time. Safety is a serious issue at this hotel. If it wasn't so late at night, I would have left. The desk staff were very pleasant though.

It's rough on the outside but nice on the inside. It did not smell good in there and the room was half-ass clean. There is no coffee pot in the room.

Note that they just re-opened 2 weeks ago and plan to renovate. However, the rooms are in bad condition, sticky carpet, room smelt mildew-y, and the dead bolt lock was broken. Also wifi was down.

I usually will give this hotel five stars but they were not being very nice to my daughter you know sorry I was running a few minutes late picking her up giving she is grown but she does have a disability and she literally left about $75 worth of food in that room and they would not let her get it out because it was past 11:00 and they just were just being rude to her and that's not acceptable in my books

Stayed here for two nights when visiting Cedar Point. It's only 5-7 minutes from the park. The double room was comfy with a large fridge/freezer, microwave, and TV. Despite what some of the other reviews say, we had hot water. The staff members were super friendly. We had a sensitive smoke alarm that would trigger when exposed to shower steam, but it could be deactivated by pressing a button. When the staff found out about this issue, they made note of it, demonstrating their responsiveness. My only complaint is the doorlock system. Even though it was an automatic lock, it was sometimes questionable whether it was actually locked (i.e., the door would move inward and was not sturdy). The only internal lock on the door was a swing latch. Overall, we had a good stay, and we'd stay here again when in town.

We arrived yesterday to check in and the property is disheveled, but the staff was kind and seemed eager to please so we tried to let the small stuff slide. After working all day and having dinner we returned to find our room unbearably hot. It doesn't have true Air Conditioning in the unit, we had a portable unit attached to one of the windows with an exhaust hose. The room was dirty and nothing was plugged in or functional. Not the phone, not the tv, nothing. The couch was stained and the carpets were filthy. I told my employee that I was going to bring it their attention and see if we could find a different room. This time an older indian gentleman who we presume was the owner tells us he will put us in a different room. He walked us clear across the property to a dimly lit dingy room which also had no Air Conditioning. As we were walking back towards reception, the owner said theyhad just purchased the property 3 weeks ago and that they had many problems to tackle but they hoped to update the property sometime next year. Long story short, I was not and am not comfortable or satisfied with either room they attempted to put us in. Neither was up to a basic standard that I find acceptable and certainly not worthy of paying for a weekend at. We left and found a reasonably priced room at Best Western Plus. I called and politely asked him to cancel the stay and he said he would cancel Sat/Sun, but tried to protest when asked to cancel the first night. Do not book.
External AC which left 2nd floor window unsecure and wasnt strong enough to cool whole room - could only keep front room lukewarm and separate bedroom was boiling hot.
TV was unplugged and inoperable when we walked in the room.
Couch stained

I believe it's under new ownership, amazing staff very friendly. They were filling fixing and filling the pool while we stayed so we didn't get to use it. We did encounter an issue with the microwave that was broken, I rang down to the office and the young gentleman working the counter actually came and brought me another microwave. I love its location how it's very close to cedar point and also very close to the main drag that has all of the restaurants. The water in the showers was nice and hot, the AC worked and we had fresh clean towels. I will definitely be returning to this location.
