Renovation in progress, friendly staff, short drive to Cedar Point Sports Center avoiding railroad crossing. There was no fridge in the room, but staff brought one for us. Kids enjoyed large outdoor pool.

We booked a room at the very last minute and it was well worth the $80. Yes it’s an old hotel but it was clean, service was friendly and we were happy with our stay.

This property was pieced together with broken things. I asked the very nice clerk and they said not to worry about it that they knew the towel rack and hairdryer were ripped out of the wall. Will not stay here again

The manager at the desk was friendly and helpful. For the price it was really good, especially with the Keycash. It was clean enough and everything worked ok. Would probably stay there again.

It is not updated, but for the price and location you can't complain. It is satisfactory and sufficient if you are looking for a place to sleep between Cedar Point days.

As others have noted, this was recently purchased by a new owner who has experience in the hotel industry. Super friendly and accommodating. Our stay was what we wanted - close to the park and affordable. The beds were clean, the TV and fridge worked great. There was coffee and donuts in the lobby. We were 5 mins from the park. Highly recommend Zuppaman for a meal, which is 1 minute away. Good stay!

The only positive thing I can day about this hotel is that it is cheaper than other nearby hotels. Its also 10 minutes from cedar pointm Mold growing in corners of bathroom sinks, window ac units, and hallways. Hallways feel and smell like they belong in a suspense horror film abandoned decades ago. Doors do not use actual keycards like 99.99 % of hotels use. They scrible a code on a receipt and you punch it on your room door. No idea if this code is used for only 1 door or general access to get into all rooms! Broken vending machines, deteriorating parking lot, bed mattresses are bricks, walls filled with holes and yellowish paint. Save yourself the headache and spend a little more for a quality goof night sleep!
