Room was adequate for an overnight crash pad but very basic, as was the meager breakfast. Tap water tastes terrible; ask for free bottled water at the desk. Plenty of safe, free parking.

Good for the price.

Great place for the money. Only complaint would be that the walls seem to be paper thin and when our neighbors got back from the bar at 1am and turned on the tv we could hear every word. They were watching big bang theory.

My room was filthy. Cobwebs and dead bugs. Bed was hard, pillows were flat. There was light shining through the bottom of the exterior door. Paint was peeling and cracking. Just an overall gross experience. I didnt even stay the second night and just went home after my trip to cedar point.

We stayed here for 3 nights for Cedar Point. Short drive to the park. Staff was very friendly and rooms were clean. We did utilize housekeepjng each day as we traveled with todlers. House keeping was great. Breakfast was ok. Loved the pancake machine. Kids had a blast swiming in the pool. It was just what we needed as we didnt apend much time in the room.
