Cedar Cove

10/10 Excellent
"Check in was smooth, staff were friendly. The room great. Everything was clean, everything was functional. Beds more firm than i prefer, but everyone slept fine. The price was great and we were very pleased to find a room that sleeps 6 on 3 beds(not a sofa bed) so close to Cedar Point . The outdoor pool is salt water filtered, better for your skin. Its right next to a beautiful pond. The mosquitos are high in number here, visitors might want to bring bug spray. I don’t know if the owners read this, but id suggest they plant citronella around the pool to deter them. The parking lot looks to be undergoing some much needed construction, could use better lighting in the back. Im sure it will be great when finished. The breakfast was simple but sufficient. We were pleasantly surprised to find that they had breakfast on Monday when the description stated breakfast only on weekends. Breakfast hours are short ending at 9:30. Coffee was great. Housekeeping was great, They replaced our wet towels after the first night, we didn’t even have to ask. I did not find a laundry room, but as we were leaving my son found the ice machine in the second building, so maybe there is one over there. We were on the second floor of building one. There is no elevator that i saw. Shower had nice soft water that stayed hot for us through our many showers. Our experience was good, we would stay here again for the convenience of being so close to the park and affordable."
