Our room smelled like dead fish. It looked like it was last updated in the 80s. Staff were very nice, but we won’t be coming back.

My kids loved this hotel so much! They enjoyed the waterpark, the friendly staff and characters, and especially the craft room for kids. They thought it was hands down better than Great Wild Lodge. It made our family trip to Cedar Point even better.

I will start with a positive…the family suite was big enough for 4 kids & 2 adults. Problem is the room was filthy. There isn’t carpeting in the room, but they defintely didn’t mop the floors. We actually had to go buy spray cleaner & disinfectant. We had to request an iron & ironing board since there wasn’t one in the room. The water park is REALLY small & they closed 3 of the 6 bigger slides, so my older grandkids got bored QUICK. It did not meet our expectations in the least.

I enjoyed the stay overall but the amenities are a bit pricey and should be included with the overall cost of the stay . Breakfast was overly priced when it should have been free with the hotel stay like many other hotels do . The cost of the arcade room was overly priced . I think the water park could have had a bit more for small children as I have a 2 and 5 year old and they couldn’t really do much but stay in the small toddler area. I wish I would have had a better room . They gave me the room right next to the arcade room which was noisy oftentimes at night when I was trying to get my little ones to sleep . Guests were a bit rude and not friendly once I checked out . They could train their staff at the front desk to be more friendly and inviting . I did enjoy the craft room . The girls loved it . I also enjoyed the characters that were really friendly and welcoming upon entrance into the hotel . I also enjoyed how everything was close to the hotel , like other restaurants and the Cedar Pointe beach . Made traveling really convenient .

We stayed here for the Waterpark, but many of the waterslides were not open, and they had too strict of rules around life jackets. My daughter knows how to swim, but due to her height had to wear a life jacket to use the pool.

The good and the bad

The hotel has plus and minus ..Lots to offer for the kids but also comes with steep pricing for all activities except the waterpark which is included with ur stay.The room we stayed in was far from clean I had to call front desk to have them send housekeeping up the bathroom was the worse the shower was full of hair and was dirty.The room has no carpet so you could see the dirt from the floor on my white socks, dead bugs in window sills, water damage on ceiling.The room has no dressers so no where to unpack ur belongings.The Staff are very friendly and buffet breakfast was good but also a bit pricy.The vent was filthy and the air sucks.if ur tired and want to rest this place is loud all night doors slamming, kids crying half night, people running down hallways all night could not sleep
