Very friendly staff and clean rooms. Close to Cedar Point but not loud (I was worried about that but ended up being pretty quiet). Only improvement I’d like to see is more protein options at breakfast: it’s all muffins and bagels, with hard boiled eggs the only protein available. Overall a great value and a pleasant stay.

Great location. Has a little pool and we loved the hot tub. Check in was quick, staff was very friendly. My only complaint was the shower heads are short, I'm 5'8 and the shower head was the height of my upper back, so you had to duck down to actually shower. But the shower was actually clean and had good water pressure, so it worked out just fine. We would go back for sure.

The outside is less assuming than the inside of the rooms. The rooms are clean and carpet is updated. The pool and outside picnic tables are a draw for families traveling with aport teams. Breakfast is offered, but was not a family favorite for us.

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.

It was not a fancy or overly large room but it had everything we needed. It was clean. The staff was friendly and professional. They provide breakfast. It is family friendly with a nice pool with a slide and hot tub. I would definitely stay again.
