The staff here are amazing. Everything you need right on site. The pool is excellent not only for the kids, but for the adults to enjoy well kept! Marco‘s Pizza right around the corner!
Not bad, room was a little bit dark. Need more lighting. Room was clean, pool was nice. Breakfast okay, only one hot item which was pancakes. I’d probably stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness
Very affordable and clean option for a short stay. Check in was pleasant and quick. They gave us cold bottles of water, which was very nice as it was extremely hot. Furniture is older, but it was comfortable. There is a nice swimming pool and spa tub outside. Breakfast is minimal and carb heavy, but if you’re ok with a bagel and fruit, it’s perfect. They have pancake machines as well, only protein was hard boiled eggs.
We have stayed 2x after a hard day at CP and will stay again when we visit the area.
Location is very good. Room just ok. Room was smelly, bedding sheets on one bed had red spots, pillows were terrible. $25 charge if you want to check in before 4 p.m. Will not recomend.

Literally 5 minutes from Cedar Point. Clean, family owned and operated, the staff were amazing. We will be back
The pool and room was pretty nice. We had plenty of space for all of us and the staff was very friendly and helpful :) next cedar point trip we will stay again.
This property is a hidden gem! Was very clean and the pool was a major plus! Staff was very friendly. We loved that it was close to everything at such a great price!
