Not a good hotel

This hotel, or better yet Motel is very old. There are some updates in the room but the building is very old Our room had a door to another room and we could hear their tv all night. The pool is tiny and the pictures of the hotel are very flattering. The breakfast is very limited: yogurts, some cheap pastries, cereal, toast. The hotel is very close to cedar point but the park is 2mi away and you cannot walk, so you are still stuck spending 45$ of parking. The hotel is non smoking but many people walk out of their room and smoke there. There were cigarette butts everywhere. Also the train is very close and give the poor sound proofing I was up every morning at 5:30. The price is somewhat low I have to admit, so if you plan to just sleep there and not spend much time in the hotel, it is not the end of the world and you cannot walk spend the money you save in a wonderful dinner.

Worth a stay!

The office staff was super friendly. The lobby was very clean. Check in was quick and easy. My room was nice, I had a 1st floor double bed. The upgraded bathroom was a pleasant surprise, it had a Led mirror, eco friendly toilet and giant soaking tub. The only reason for not giving 5 stars across the board is bad weather hit the area and caused the power outage and they did not have a generator and they were unsure of how long it would be before the power came on. Traveling with my teenage daughter alone I did not feel safe sitting in a dark hot room or prop the door open so I did request a refund and we left before we ever slept. By morning, my refund was back in my bank account, which was very quick. 100% I would ‘stay’ there again. It’s a 5min drive to Cedar Point.

The room was clean and the staff was personable however when I went to take a shower in the morning, there was no hot water in the shower, it was hot in the sink but not in the shower no matter how long I waited. so I was forced to just wash off.

We booked this hotel because we refused to stay in the hovel we had originally booked. That being said, we were pleasantly surprised, simply because the previous hotel was that bad. We had to walk through a room of frogs to get to our room. The shower sounded like you were going to fall through it. We were pleasantly surprised by how well we slept even though the mattresses didnt seem great. It was better than what we originally had booked, so we couldnt be choosy at that point. The room stayed cold and the water was hot. The ice and vending room with frogs all over the floor was still super weird and we had to go through that to get to our room.
