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.

Great Stay!

It was the perfect room for an amazing deal! 10 minutes away from Cedar Point, A/C kept the room cold all day long in the miserable mid 90s heat, and very clean! Will not hesitate to book again.

Clean and quiet

The place was very clean and cozy. Pretty quiet and nice location. The beds and pillows weren't the most comfortable but they weren't the worst. Was perfect for what we needed. Would have been better if they had just a couple more grab and go options for breakfast like muffins or bagels but overall it was a good stay
