The waterpark was great for our kids. It’s really nice that it’s attached to the hotel. The park isn’t as extensive as a great wolf type hotel but was a fun stop while at Cedar point.

Staff was very friendly and responsive to requests. Room wasn’t as clean as it should be, left over trash in the room from guests before and cobwebs in the corners. Breakfast buffet had a massive fruit fly problem. Food options are not good in the resort- thank goodness for the attached famous Dave’s which was delicious
