Cedar Point stay

Clean room, they even offer a small breakfast. A great place to crash if you are going to Cedar Point. No frills, but clean and quiet, at an affordable price. I will stay again!

The room was not clean. It had a strong smell of cleaning product, but that is all. I pulled clumps of women's hair off the comforter, the floor was coming apart, their were cljmps of dust all over the floor. We made the employee aware of the situation and the response was "well, you're not going to get your money back". Stay clear of this "hotel".

Good time!

We had a great stay this past weekend. The only complaint, not really a complaint, but inconvenience for us, was the lack of grass for our dog to potty. Not Econolodge’s fault, just be aware. The property is well maintained and the staff is very friendly!
