The rooms, property and pool are definitly not as picured. The beds can not possibly be double beds, they look more like slightly over sized twins, there was a connecting door and im pretty sure itt was just one sungle door and very thin. It sounded like someone was in the room with us yelling in Spanish. I dont know how they can have good reviews. Terrible up keep. We were exhusted at 10:30 and couldnt wait to get settled but we walked in and immediatly turned around and left. I didnt even care if I got my money back or not i was not going to stay there. I did not feel safe. The front desk gentleman was incredinly kind though. They did refund me.

It’s an older building but very clean and reasonably priced. Perfect for a quick overnight stay when you’re going to Cedar Point and want a descent hotel at a reasonable price close to park.

Great location for cedar point, good stay

The location was fantastic for cedar point. For the price this is a great stay. The breakfast was pretty good, staff very friendly and helpful. They are clearly trying to improve upon a motel that was in bad shape. Some of it is good and some is lipstick on a pig. The shower leaked and kept the floor wet. The a/c pumped hard but was less than 12" from whomever was sleeping next to it, so it on/off blew on that person but the others didnt get much ac... i found that if i kept the thick blanket next to me, it could help block it so i could sleep.

Look, the staff is amazingly nice. Really they are. But we saw how they were cleaning today as we were gonna check in and for me it’s a no go. Before we went in the front we drove back by the pool where a man and woman were having seggs in the middle of the day in a very public pool!! My kids saw this.. not cool.
