It was OK for what we paid for...

The rooms were small, bathroom needed to be clean (mold in the shower). But we also paid $77.00 for 1 night which was perfect for just sleeping in. Don't think we would stay there again but again fit our needs.

The help was friendly. The facility was clean. It was perfect for a over night cedar point trip. This hotel will be our place of choice for our future cedar point trips!

Dirty and Unorganized

When arriving at the hotel, they didn't have our reservation and the rude staff member told the man trying to help us to find another hotel. Thankfully he found us our two rooms that we had booked (it being a very busy weekend). The room was dirty! Looked like it hadn't been vacuumed since it opened and stray hairs all over the bathroom were not my favorite. The price was good for what it was and the beds were actually comfortable. Don't think I would stay again, but it served its purpose being close to the park and cheap!

Hotel needs better management!!!!!!!!!!

Hotel could be good for price if had good cleaning staff. But the staff cleaning sucks. When we got there sat evening i went to the restroom in the room and it was full of [*] and ready to run over. Ungodly smell! went to front desk to get another room but not none. The front desk lady came with a plunger and proceeded to hand it to me like i was unstopping it. She then plunged the toilet which left a smell that no one could imagine. we had to leave room for hours and go get Lysol. the room was dirty and sheets had not been changed. I hope owner sees this and gets training or better cleaning crew for hotel. We were there for Ceder Point.

bed bugs

upon retiring for the night at aprox.11:30pm when pulling back the top sheet we discovered what appeared to be bed bugs on the fitted sheet. after finding four of them, which we were able to capture in a plastic cup, we took them to the front desk. the desk clerk didn't seem too concerned and simply offered another room which we declined and checked out immediately and drove three hours back to pittsburgh. we have since been e-mailed by the hotel owner who stated that they were not bed bugs. if they weren't, who knows what they were. we did not have them microscopically identified.
