Very good service at the front desk. Room and hotel is extremely clean. My only dislike is that mattress on both beds in our room were worn out well beyond their service life - very hard, uneven and lumpy.

Great property especially if you have young kids, the water park closes kind of early 8pm witch suprised us since check in isnt until 4pm but it was still nice. My husband fished and kids swam all in all it was a great stay. It sucked there is no included breakfast, you have to pay 60$ there should have been a basic option as much as you pay to stay, but rooms were clean and nice and early entry was a plus with our gold passes for cedar point! I would definitely stay again and highly reccomend for families with small kids!
