Our room was not very clean and they did not come to clean it or provide towel’s until I called down to ask for them and even then it took hours for them to bring them to the room. When you don’t come and clean the rooms daily it should be mentioned somewhere. When you have more than one person in a room garbage can pile up so I had to get rid of all of that myself. Not right

Great Stay!

This will be my go to hotel for our family Cedar Point trips. It's just a few min drive from Cedar Point. There was an ice cream social, they offered free bowling at the Alley next door, and complimentary breakfast in the morning. The hotel was clean and the staff was helpful and nice.

This place was close to cedar point and had a really cozy bed. We weren’t there except to sleep and eat breakfast but would definitely go again. Breakfast was delicious and included. I will say the bathroom in the lobby was a disaster w no paper towels but wouldn’t deduct a star for that… it was a busy hotel and staff looked to be working hard.
