I’m normally a 5 star get the review over with kinda guy but… The beds felt like sleeping on concrete. The room was clean. The door leading to the outside was very flimsy and the door trim was not sturdy at all. We had a light bulb out in our room. Pretty sketchy to say the least. DEFINITELY not worth the $600 dollars I spent on 4 travelers, 2 rooms.

Overall our stay was good. We enjoyed having Cedar Point just a few minutes away. The only issue we really encountered was the fact that the tile floor was extremely cold & always had condensation on it. Both my kids almost slipped & fell on the wet floor.

Perfect for a nights sleep!
Stayed the night while visiting cedar point. The room was clean and the beds were so comfy. It was quite in the evening too. The pool was a little cold, but good for a hot day. The hot tub was way too hot, like burned my skin. I could cook pasta in the water. It was crazy hot. The room does come with a mini fridge and microwave. There are vending machines and free breakfast.

We stayed here just for a place to sleep after cedar point. We were only checked in for a total of 7 hours but what we did see was all good. Staff was friendly when we checked in and checked out. Offered a small breakfast but nice to have something. Only bad side was beds were slightly too firm.
