The outside is less assuming than the inside of the rooms. The rooms are clean and carpet is updated. The pool and outside picnic tables are a draw for families traveling with aport teams. Breakfast is offered, but was not a family favorite for us.

An older motel with an air conditioner that could have been a little more efficient. Getting colder air to the other side of the room was a little underwhelming, but still okay. Vending machine was out of order. Morning breakfast was okay. Plenty of pancakes with 2 automatic pancake machines. Yogurts, bananas, pastries, cereal, etc. No breakfast meats. Good coffee. Nice lady taking care of the breakfast area. Everything was clean, and the pool looked nice. After a big day at Cedar Point Ammusement Park, the location was nice and close. Beds were comfortable. Nothing fancy, just a nice room and a decent bathroom and shower.

Liked: Cleanliness
Very affordable and clean option for a short stay. Check in was pleasant and quick. They gave us cold bottles of water, which was very nice as it was extremely hot. Furniture is older, but it was comfortable. There is a nice swimming pool and spa tub outside. Breakfast is minimal and carb heavy, but if you’re ok with a bagel and fruit, it’s perfect. They have pancake machines as well, only protein was hard boiled eggs. We have stayed 2x after a hard day at CP and will stay again when we visit the area.
