My son loved the pool and the slides. Service was great. Breakfast was small and didn't have a lot of options, but the pancakes were good and we appreciated the free breakfast. Our bed had a small spot that was dirty on the comforter, but it was late and we didn't want to make a big deal about it. The rest of the bed looked clean and the room looked clean. The mattress was uncomfortable. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

The sign out front says this was the number one Independent hotel. I didn’t go to other hotels so I have nothing to compare it too. However, I think they would definitely be in the running. It was very clean. It was reasonably priced. And it had great family attractions, such as a pool with slides, a hot tub, picnic area, and a swingset. I would definitely stay here again. This was very close to Cedar Point, beds were comfortable, and hotel was clean. If this hotel could improve anything would be to make shower heads higher and add a few cereals and bread choices (like English muffins) to continental breakfast. Breakfast had limited variety. Overall. I recommend this hotel.

Very nice budget friendly hotel near Cedar Point.

Hotel room was clean and well kept. Pool and salt water hot tub were very nice. Typical hotel continental breakfast. Not the fanciest place in town, but great bang for your buck. Would stay again!
