I like that’s it a short drive to cedar point. The staff was super nice and helpful. The room was small and simple no closet no coffee maker but was clean. I wished for the price that the breakfast would be more and hot.

A/C was cold, rooms were secured, beds were decent, breakfast was good, and the staff were friendly and professional- but the floor in the room was terribly filthy. We had to wash our feet multiple times a day throughout our stay because they would turn black from walking around. 3/5.

This hotel is not the greatest. We came here only because of the convenience of being close to Cedar Point. It's a typical hotel ran by indians or nepalese. The only thing good about the room was the beds. They were very comfortable and room was clean for it to be ran by indians. The room smelled like some cheap men's cologne I could not stand the odor considering I was a asthmatic. There was very very low water pressure coming from shower. No phone to call front desk. I don't know about breakfast didn't even bother to ask honestly. TV had about 5 channels. Walls are extremely thin. Heat and air conditioner did work. A few things to consider: First we booked through expedia. Please BEWARE that if you make a reservation the policy is NOT on the website that you will be charged a day in advance BEFORE your reservation. We were coming from Pennsylvania. Our reservation was from June 11-14. My card was billed on June 10. I don't appreciate that when I contacted them, they explained that its their "policy" to bill in advance. Second our room was on first floor room 120. Right outside of ice machine which runs constantly. Our room was probably next to some junkies who have extended stay so we were a little concerned. There is also a train nearby that runs throughout the night so sleep was meh.
