Beds and bathroom was clean and comfortable. Though floors were very dirty. Socks were black after walking on them. Along with a noisy and moldy air conditioner. But at least it cooled the room well. Overall satisfied especially for the price.

We were very happy with our stay here! We traveled in for 1 night to take our kids to Cedar Shores Waterpark for the day! We think this place is in a great location! The beds were comfy and clean! We did think the bathroom smelled very musty and when we wiped the floor with a white towel, it definitely needs a mop. But other than that the rest of the room was perfect! The a/c worked great! The pool is open until 10:30, it was nice for our little ones to be able to get in before bed. The pool is decent shape. They do offer a small bit delicious breakfast! Make your own waffle, or fruit, yogurt, multiple cereals to chose from! Free ice machine, works great and close by! There are also a lot of restaurants and shops very close by and all for the price it's a wonderful place to stay! I was a little Leary at first but it definitely exceeded my families expectations! We would definitely stay again!

This place is not super fancy, but cleaner than many of the fancy places we have stayed in. The staff was so friendly and courteous and the grounds well maintained. Perfect place to stay if visiting Cedar Point as it is a 10 minute drive to the park. The Mexican restaurant next door is incredibly good which is a huge bonus!
