Clean and large room with a view of the water. Restaurants close by. SUPER nice staff - even gave us cold water as we left and held the door open. Late check out (12:00) was nice. I wish the pool could open earlier than 10:00 but I can understand the goal of keeping things quiet for those with rooms next to the pool. Oh, also great to be dog friendly.

Kim

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The property itself had the following issues: Room was missing 2 sitting chairs as advertised on Expedia & toilet was super low and leaking. Pillows were super small and mattress was worn out! Overall room had a musty smell. Pool was not clean and odd location facing parking lot. Surrounding area, all dining closed by 8 or 9pm which made stay in a downtown area inconvenient. We will not stay at Best Western again.

Great place to stay for Burning Snowman festival but would have been nice if it was a little closer. Love that it’s across the street from the Lake and Jolly Roger’s. Probably a great place to stay in the summer!

Upon reading some of the negative reviews of this hotel I was little sceptical, however, when we arrived I was very pleasantly pleased. The facility was clean and the staff was very welcoming. The exterior was just a tad outdated but was certainly clean and taken care of. 10/10 would definitely recommend and will be back to stay again. Very convenient for the Jet express and just a short drive to cedar point. Keep up the good work.

I booked without realizing there was no elevator or gym, so that is on me. We were here for Cedar Point so didn’t spend a ton of time at the hotel. Overall, the facility was clean, the staff were friendly, the room was nice and cold and we enjoyed our stay. We took advantage of the washer and dryer on site but we didn’t use the pool but it did look refreshing and there were always people using it so it must have been clean as well. We would stay here again. The lake view right across the street was nice!

This hotel is old, dirty and smelled bad. When we first arrived we were attacked by a swarm of flying ants as we unloaded our car. Our room smelled musty and the carpet left our feet dirty if we took off our shoes. The room desperately needed a deep clean. There were bugs and spider webs along the ceiling and edges of the room. A large spider crawled out of our bed pillows. The beds are too narrow to be comfortable for two people. Pets are allowed and a dog barking woke us up in the early morning. Do not stay here! Find someplace better!
