We had a great stay. The hotel was clean, rooms were nice. The staff decorated our room for my sons birthday and left him some special things which we really appreciated. Our stay was very comfortable. Very short drive to Cedar point which was great. We got early entry to the park as well which was helpful. We will definitely be back.

The hotel offers an overall great value with early access to the park and discounted tickets. The rooms are comfortable with basic room amenities. The pool area was quant and well kept, great option for families with younger kids. The location is good, quiet, and is close to restaurants and grocery stores. Would stay here again.

The staff was very helpful and very friendly. Clean hotel. The only negative thing was shampoo and conditioner bottles were empty in the bathroom. Normally this wouldn’t have bothered me because I bring my own, but this time I didn’t. My bad!

Pool was nice. Front desk was a little unorganized and gave us 2 rooms that weren’t ready for us to stay in. One was under construction and was literally missing the door handle and the other was dirty and someone had just checked out of it.
