The location is very close to Cedar Point which was super convenient. The staff at check in was very helpful and gave cold water which was nice. However, the breakfast was really gross. Boiled eggs were in one large wet dirty bowl and the water was the color green, and the woman doing the breakfast was coughing all over everything. We decided to not eat the breakfast. The rooms were spacious and renovated. Minus the breakfast it was a decent motel.

Basic Yet Clean

Was in town for a fishing trip and needed a place to stay just overnight. This place fit the bill. While overpriced, it was less overpriced than all the other places around. Hotel was basic, yet clean. Left to early to try the breakfast.

People were really nice. Breakfast was what you expect, good variety and clean space. Place is a little old which means things are in need of repair but you can tell they’re trying to keep it up. Our room unfortunately had a view of the motel next door rubbish pile. The door has a gap, molding coming off in places, ceiling and shower surround were iffy. At first glance I thought it was clean. It was quiet and we slept well!

We stayed in a jacuzzi suite for our honeymoon. Check in was easy lobby looked clean was not expecting the hotel to look like a motel where you enter from the outside into your room the room was very small for what the pictures look like online there was hair in the tub and dirt on the walls. I don't know if I would stay at this location again.

A/C was cold, rooms were secured, beds were decent, breakfast was good, and the staff were friendly and professional- but the floor in the room was terribly filthy. We had to wash our feet multiple times a day throughout our stay because they would turn black from walking around. 3/5.
