Room was clean, staff was friendly, breakfast was good (but limited), close to cedar point which was our intention, gave us water when checking in which was super nice. Overall would stay again
This is a great location close to Cedar Point. Staff is very friendly, rooms are clean, nice pool with a slide, and breakfast was a nice plus. We have now stayed there twice and plan on booking again soon.
We stay here about every time we go to cedar point. The nicest group runs this place-the pool is a hit with the kids-nice hot tub for the parents.
Never had an issue, breakfast is fine, two thumbs up all the way for a great mom and pop hotel ❤️
This place is an excellent value for anyone needing a place to sleep before or after visiting cedar point! The rooms are very clean and comfortable, the breakfast has plenty of cold and hot options and friendly service, and we had nothing but great service from the front desk who were even able to find my son’s watch he left in the room and hold it for us! For the price it is clearly not going to be a luxury resort but it is the perfect spot to get some rest just a couple of blocks from the entry to Cedar Point!!!
The room was large, beds comfortable, showers hot, and clean. It was quiet and a pleasure to come back to after staying at Cedarpoint til midnight. Staff was helpful. Love that there were 4 sets of towels in a double queen room.
