We enjoyed our stay. The room was very clean and average sized for a family of 4. The complimentary breakfast was perfect - the space was very clean and was maintained (refilling and replenishing food) the whole time. The location was perfect for visiting Cedar Point. We will definitely stay here again!

Checked in to the hotel after Cedar Point closed at midnight. Desk clerk was very friendly and supplied us with some bottled water. The room was clean and the bathroom looked like it had been remodeled at some point. The breakfast was basic but fine for us since we don't usually eat breakfast. The hotel is very close to Cedar Point.

The family suite was perfect for our group. We loved the murphy bed! The hotel had nice outdoor space available including a basketball net for the kids and some basic swings. The pool was closed for the season already when we visited but looked like fun. The breakfast was suitable and a nice treat. The staff was perfect. Friendly and helpful but not in your business. We would stay here again of in the area.

Stayed here as it was just a few miles from Cedar Point. The room was clean and plenty of towels. The walls are rather thin and I could hear someone coughing in the room next to mine. The bed was very firm and not comfortable for me (might be fine if you like firm mattresses). The shower head was way too low. I'm 5' 10" and it was pointed near my shoulders. I literally had to do a back bend just to get my hair wet. If you're short, it won't be a problem. Also, the tub drained slowly in my room. Might not be an issue in other rooms, just what I experienced. I probably won't stay there again for those reasons

I almost always go here for Cedar Point. The hotel is well run. It is clean, in good repair, bug free in the rooms, has a nice pool & hot tub. Breakfast is decent.
