Booked the room for a quick place to sleep and for what I paid and needed the room for it was excellent. I didn’t want to pay a ton of money for someplace I was only going to be for 9-10 hours.

We stayed here to visit Cedar Point. We drove up with two cars but only wanted to enter the park with one. The staff let us park our car in their lot before our check in time which was very accommodating. The property is very clean with no strong odors. It's a older building that needs updating, but nothing that effected our stay. We plan to stay again in the future.

The staff was ok. The room was meh. There was mold in the bathtub. The shower barely worked. The knob didn't work well. It was either just slightly better than a fiery hot dribble or artic cold dribble. The blow dryer was unusable because the plug wire was exposed causing a serious fire hazard. The bigger refrigerator with freezer was nice. On the king size bed, there were 3 small lumpy pillows (bring your own pillows). Everything else was ok. The bed was soft. The linens were clean. The property itself is dated and run down. Ok, for an overnight stay, but not really for multiple days.

A very good place to stay on a budget if planning to visit Cedar Point, as it’s located not far from the park. About a 10 minute drive. So very convenient. Staff was very friendly. Definitely would stay there again if I go back.

Look, this isn't the Hilton or whatever but in all honesty this hotel for the price is not bad. The bed is comfortable, the AC is cold, the shower a little complicated but it's a place to get clean and sleep for cedar point. Kinda noisy in the morning though but all good. Staff was very polite! No bugs (we checked), parking right near the door we went in so not far to walk thankfully, and my kids froze me with the AC lol. Only thing is I wish they had something for breakfast - even just fruit available. I will definitely be staying again.
