Worn down hotel

So disappointed in this Hotel. Beds are old and worn out but not only that when we arrived we tried to take a shower and the shower was dirty and clogged. They had to call a plumber didn’t offer to move us rooms. After several hours of waiting I called back down asked to be moved to another room and was told that they would move us and provide us with a credit. Never received the credit.

Clean and comfortable. Polite staff. Love the crafts room. Elevators very small and in constant use by housekeeping. Makes it hard to move between floors if you have a stroller, wheelchair, or luggage cart. Check-in was a mess. Waited in line for 30 min. Pool was well guarded. Hot tub was broken.

Hot tub not in service

Overall nice place near Cedar Point with fun water park HOWEVER the hot tub was not working the 3 days we stayed & that was the main draw for the parents. No hot tub No outdoor loungers because the hot tub area was closed for maintenance. Very disappointing

Great property especially if you have young kids, the water park closes kind of early 8pm witch suprised us since check in isnt until 4pm but it was still nice. My husband fished and kids swam all in all it was a great stay. It sucked there is no included breakfast, you have to pay 60$ there should have been a basic option as much as you pay to stay, but rooms were clean and nice and early entry was a plus with our gold passes for cedar point! I would definitely stay again and highly reccomend for families with small kids!

We stayed at Castaway Bay this weekend with our one year old. Our bathroom had mold on the ceiling and in the shower. The toddler water park amenities (the only amenities meant for infants and toddlers) were closed for two of the three hours the first night. Then, the next morning the water park was closed for the first hour of opening. Understanding, the reasons for closure were not necessarily the hotels fault, it was still extremely upsetting for our family who was only there for a short period of time and paid. We visited the front desk in hopes that the hotel would refund at least the water park amount or give us a voucher for another day since we did not get to use the amenities. Cas at the front desk was extremely unkind and refused to help us receive any sort of support due to the water park closures. Instead, she asked “why didn’t you take your son into the wave pool?” — in response I mentioned once again that my son was one years old. I have never had a more poor experience at a hotel especially one that is meant to bring joy to families and children.
