Great spot for value and convenience.

Great little place to stay when you're taking in Cedar Point for a couple of days. Continental breakfast is what you'd expect and had a cool pancake machine. Pool was great, kid loved the water slides. Staff was very friendly and always available. Location was great, close to all kinds of food options, activities and less that 10 mins from Cedar Point. Will definitely go back.

Excellent customer service! The pool is maintained very well. Clean, crystal blue, no abnormal odors or too strong of bleach, and the slides into the 8ft deep end are a fun addition for the kids. Also love that the pool opened so early and closed late at 11 as well as checkout at noon. Didn’t see any liter and each morning the staff could be seen cleaning up the rooms. While we could hear the train when outside, we never heard the train while in our room. The only reasons for four stars is because while the employees were kind and helpful at breakfast when I seen a small child spilled their drink, there were no options of bacon or sausage. There are also only hard boiled eggs. Aka breakfast only contained carbs with hard boiled eggs for protein. Also there is only one pancake machine that works very slow. The only other negative is the parking spaces are a tight squeeze for larger vehicles but there are a few parking spots off to the side with more space. Overall this place was perfect for my family and we will certainly stay here again for all future trips to Cedar Point.

Our room was extremely clean including the bathroom. It was spacious for the 3 of us. We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub and everyone that stayed there obeyed the curfew. It also quieted down a bit at night. My only complaint is that there weren’t many breakfast options other than carbs. We had a great stay and will definitely be back!
