Unique property..small rooms and bathrooms but worked for 1 night family of 5. Train is close enough you hear it once every hour or so. Beds and bedding comfortable and the space is clean. No table or chairs to lounge in just the beds. It was a nice experience for what we needed 1 night.

The facility is great, everything was as described and the cleanliness was excellent. The kitchen was bare so make sure you bring along utensils and anything you would need. I will definitely stay here again if I’m in the area

Terrible experience.
We arrived on a Friday night around 8:00PM, the email that I received with the accommodation information did not contain a unit number so I had to contact the property. The property itself was nice. However, Saturday night around 10:00 PM, our shower and toilet began spewing sewer water up out of the drains. Contacted the property and after an hour or so, they finally reach out to me and inform me that they do not have any other available rooms in the hotel. They offer to compensate for the inconvenience (which never happened). I asked them what we were supposed to do because our bathroom is completely full of water and unusable. They tell me they may have an air bnb property we can use, give them some time to see what they work out. After another 30-60 minutes they call back and they do have a property available about 15 minutes away from where we are staying. I am thankful that they had something available and the air bnb was beautiful but that DOES NOT make up for the stress and hassle of having to move accommodation in the middle of the night.

I made my reservation within an hour of arriving at the motel, so I had to call to register and get my room number and code for the door. The person who answered was really quick and helpful. The room was immaculate and super comfortable. The bedding was good quality and the towels were amazing. The room was adorable. After the water warmed up (it takes a couple of minutes...be patient), the shower was quite relaxing. The price was super affordable for the amazing stay that we had. The location was awesome as well. It was close to Cedar Point and any restaurant you could imagine was not too far at all. My advice if you stay is to make sure you pull the door all the way closed. I didn't and in the middle if the night, the door blew open. Good thing I use the security latch or it would have blown open all the way. I have no clue how long I slept with it open. That shows how comfy the beds were. Great stay and we WILL likely only stay here from now on when in the area.
