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.
