Top Merry-Go-Round Museum Hotel Reviews

The Washington Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything was very nice and clean. It would have 5 stars all the way around, but there was no closet or dresser to place your clothes. We stayed there for a week and had to use the hooks in the kitchen/dining room to hang clothing. We also wanted to put the dishes in the dishwasher the night before we checked out, but the dishwasher did not power up. Other than that....it was a beautiful property and it made our Cedar Point trip that much better."
