This was our second time staying here for a quick Cedar Point trip. Last time (several years ago) we were lucky to stay in one of the rooms on the inside of the motel as opposed to the rooms with exterior doors (which we didn’t like as much). This motel is older but well maintained. Room was pretty clean but very basic. Kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Breakfast was basic but good enough for a quick bite before heading to the park! Staff was always very cheerful and happy to help including the woman who helped with breakfast. Overall, we would maybe stay here again for a quick trip as it is VERY close to Cedar Point and saved us some money too!

Room was clean, friendly staff, good price. Can tell this is an older place, but is priced appropriately. There are train tracks near the hotel as well, so the trains use their horn as they come through. Not the hotel’s fault, but something to be aware of.
