This hotel has always been our go to spot when we visit Cedar Point. We never have an issue. It's always clean and staff is always friendly. It's nice they have late pool hours.

We have stayed twice, both on the "off" season. The rooms were clean and just fine. There are no elevators (no big deal). Staff is very nice. Breakfast is small, even for a COVID breakfast. Nice size refrigerator and microwave. On both stays, the TV did not work at all or if you closed one of the drawers, the TV wires was loosen and you would loose the connection. I would stay here again, regardless. Location is amazing (close to Cedar Point) and it seems like a great pool for the summer.

Very clean. For the most part, quiet. Only 1 grip, the bathroom was very small. The pictures we saw of the room we rented made the room and bathroom look bigger than it was. We would stay at this hotel again but would opt for the jacuzzi tub as the bathroom appears a lot larger.

Thank you for staying with us and taking the time to submit your review. Although we have an older property with a classic open brick look, the interiors of our rooms were just recently renovated with new beds, carpeting, drapery and more. As we are a family owned, independent motel, customer satisfaction is a top priority for us and we are sorry we did not live up to your exceptions, we will work hard to improve for all our future guests.

Nice hotel for a decent price. Even recommended to a friend and he stayed there the next weekend.

I am afraid you may have the wrong hotel, our pool is open, and our vending and ice machines are all in full working order. As for cleanliness we are very highly rated in this area as you can see from our many 5 star reviews.

Stayed here for a Halloweekends trip. Convenient location, close to Cedar Point. Rooms were a little dated and this is a motel-style place where the door to the room opens to the parking lot. Breakfast was decent and bed was comfortable. Service/staff was good, friendly and helpful. A bit noisy outside at night from the people arriving late in the parking lot and the nearby train. Overall good when you just need a place to crash for the night after a day of roller coasters! Will stay again especially in the summer when the pool is open.
