No frills. Very close to Cedarpoint. Staff friendly, rooms were comfortable and clean. A great value,perfect place to shower and sleep after a hard day at Cedarpoint.
At first I was a little worried but the place was great. Good breakfast, very nice staff! And very accommodating to our big group. Kept all close together! And sooo close to cedar point and cedar point Beach! Not as fancy as some places we stay but beds were comfy and air worked. What more do you need!
It is an older hotel, but can tell they are working to renovate and update. Room was clean. A/C worked well. Staff were helpful. Breakfast was good. The Automatic pancake maker was very nice.
Great little motel for staying at Cedar Point. It’s obviously an older property but they have really kept it both fresh with upgrades and CLEAN. Friendly staff, nice little continental breakfast, and a pool. Can’t go wrong here!
I booked thinking it was a hotel with good rating. However, was shocked when I pulled in to the parking lot. It was a motel, the space of the room was good to accommodate my family, however the room smelled like humidity and there were some spider webs around the window and door. Shower was awful, old looking, not so clean with outdated tiles and old scaly shower head. The breakfast and service was great. I wouldn't recommend it for the price and would book at a Holiday Inn next door instead.

Outside conditions looked really trashy but our room was pretty decent. It was what we needed for a family of 5. There were a few minor details that the staff took care of and that went well.
It is a very basic motel. The staff is kind and the rooms are clean. Everything was sold out by cedar point, caught the last room. Was fine, very basic room, but fine for a late check in and early check out.
The staff were pleasant and efficient.
The rooms were old and outdated and don’t look like the picture. Clean though.
The table collapsed when we put a bag down because on of the legs was not attached. Could have been dangerous.
Not the best; but these days If you want cheap, you’re going to get it.
Always a pleasant stay, the salt water pool is clean, warm and a great treat late at night for kids after a long hot day at the park. Breakfast offers fruits, sweet bakery goodies and the fun pancake maker. The staff never rushes anyone out. Very close to CP. Will stay again.

The staff was great. The room smelled like bleach and had signs of mold.
Considering this location’s proximity to Cedar Point, they could really benefit from an overhaul of the facility.
I was a little nervous when I first pulled in because the place didn't look like much from the outside. But the employees were very kind and the room was very clean. The building was dated, but the bed was comfortable and the bathroom had been updated. Most importantly, it was clean and quiet. It was also very easy to get to and from the park from this location. I will definitely stay here again for future trips to Cedar Point.
The room was clean, spacious, and comfortably cool. There was a slight odor when we first arrived, but it quickly dissipated and was no longer noticeable. The staff was friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The complimentary breakfast was a pleasant surprise, especially the self-serve pancake maker, which was something I had never seen before. Overall, the breakfast was enjoyable, and we had a positive experience.

The beds were comfortable the room was clean and the staff was very friendly. The ceiling in our room had some sagging areas. The shower didnt have great pressure. They could definitely use some updating. But overall a good stay for the price.
Clean room. But mainly the staff was great! Very helpful and welcoming. The room was small, but my 7 year old and I stayed only 1 night so it was fine. Had a fridge, microwave and TV, all I need. We did bring pillows from home and glad we did bc only 2 pillows on their bed. Overall if I'm low on funds I'd go again. No coffee pot in room or cups tho
Great place to stay if your going to cedar point, friendly helpful staff. A basic breakfast in the morning, pool for the kids in the evening and close to stores if you need anything! We go back year after year and will continue to visit!
