⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I give this hotel a five-star review! The room was very clean, the breakfast was amazing, and the kids absolutely loved the pool and gym area. Everything about our stay was great from start to finish. Plus, it’s only about a mile away from Cedar Point, which made everything super convenient for our weekend getaway. We will definitely be coming back the next time we visit. Highly recommend for families looking for a fun and relaxing stay!
