Came here for a visit to Cedar Point. The hotel location is great and there are nice extras (free coffee, breakfast, and the ice cream social) that Cedar Point Express lacks. The lobby gets busy at check-in and there is usually a wait. I wish the rooms had multiple trash cans. One little can in the bathroom isn’t going to cut it, especially when they aren’t servicing the rooms daily. Otherwise, it was a nice stay and a good value.

The staff was friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was displayed beautifully. Everything was delicious and clean. The room wasn't very clean. You can see hair and paper in the corners of the walls of the room, not swept. There was a spider on the bottom of one of the bed covers. The room was dusty.
