Loved the water park for my kiddos and the ability to get in early. Our room was available quite early (like 1pm) which was a definite bonus. Room was fairly clean. It did have a stale smell as if it hadn't been used in a while. There were some cobwebs above the shower. I wish there was a dimmer light in the aink area (toilet/shower was separate) as there was no door and rhe lights above 1 of the sinks were right in line with the kids bunkbeds. I understand tbe need to be safe in the waterpark, but reauiring shorter kids (under 54") to be in a lifejacket purside of the kiddie pool seems a bit much, especially if thebkida have taken swim lessons. My middle kiddo was bummed to need a life jacket for the larger pools, so he stuck around my youngest who stuck to the small/kiddie double slide, rode the water coaster and joined me in the hot tub.

PROS: - Cute, whimsical, friendly atmosphere - Front desk staff were extremely personable and kind - Very fun for kids, especially younger ones - Indoor waterpark was very clean - Kids loved the water park, though it was small - Breakfast buffet was convenient and had a nice variety CONS: - No privacy in the “Family Room” - The only door was on the bathroom, everything else was open - Bad house keeping service: never made the kids’ beds, didn’t refill soaps, didn’t take out trash, didn’t show up daily - Phone didn’t work in our room - Linens were thin and cheap Overall, our stay was just okay. We were glad we spent 90% of our time out at Cedar Point, because the hotel itself wasn’t great. If traveling with a bigger family with older kids who will want privacy, avoid the “family room.”

The grounds were clean and well kept. The closeness to the park made the stay better. I rated this a 3 because we woke up to ants all around the tv area and ice bucket. Maintenance was quick to respond, but we could not switch rooms. After the fumigation, which left a smell, the dead ants were not cleaned up. Also, we had to ask for a room clean with fresh towels. The rooms are not cleaned daily as advertised in the hotel brochure.

The room reaked of sewage, we had to buy an air freshener to keep from gagging.The air conditioner was consistently fridgid, even when adjusted, and leaked. The water park was nice with plenty of lifegards. The staff was pleasant. The rest of the hotel was clean.Overall I would not stay there again although convenient to cedar point access, it wasnt great for the price.

The food options were average but this morning we had breakfast at the buffet and all they had was sweet creamer for my coffee, the young lady working behind the counter went to the coffee shop next door to get me some cream. She was kind, and went above her duties, I’m sorry I didn’t get her name

This property was great for proximity to Cedar Point. My kids loved the water coaster. Staff was nice! Checkin was painfully slow, over 30 minutes based on the number of people checking in. 40% of the waterslides were closed while we were there. The bathroom in the room was very dusty with some mold. The walls are thin so we could hear everything our neighbors were up to. It was ok for a night but my family won’t be back.

Very pretty surroundings. No coffee machine in the room or outdoor pool was a disappointment. No sheets or blanket for the sleeper chair.

Check in was a little slow but we didn't mind. The room was nice and comfortable. It also had a pull out bed chair which was a nice surprise. The kids loved the water park . We didn't order any food instead ordered dominos. It was a lot cheaper. It looked like they had good food choices for decent prices though. Loved having a Starbucks in the hotel. There is a bbq restaurant you can walk outside too its basically attached. One thing i learned while we were checking out you can come before check in and enjoy everything while you are waiting on your room and also enjoy the water park the whole next day after check out.
