We enjoyed our stay at a very nice place except for the pool problem and a fire alarm going off
Pros:

Room was ready when we arrived Extra towels were gotten without a hassel Location was as good as you can without staying in the parking lot

Cons:

Life guards were over protected quit a lot - Pool was not crowded at all but a family of kids and their dad were throwing a small football around not bothering anyone and were told to stop, Then security was called for no reason My grandson was wearing a swimmask for over an hour with no problems then all of a sudden he was not allowed to wear it because it covered his nose A lot of people sitting around the pool said no fun allowed

Highly recommend replacing some staff making some renovations and compensating your guest.
Pros:

Absolutely nothing and it started with the check-in. The receptionist was very unwelcoming, she displayed obvious annoyance while searching for my reservation, it was a very unpleasant experience.

Cons:

Unfortunately the check-in was awful. The room could not get any worse however, my friend and I were very displeased. Booking this hotel online was quite deceiving. The room was a joke, zero star or perhaps -5 start if applicable. Reminded me of a AA motel, the beds certainly need to be replaced, unless you enjoy feeling a box spring mattress in your back, the diner table and chairs were an absolute shock. For the amount that I paid, this is a disgrace, and I definitely would never recommend this to anyone of my friends or family, I was basically robbed. What a disgrace.

Pros:

The close proximity to the amusement park. The outdoor pool open late.

Cons:

First night we didn’t have hot water. We checked out and had to re check in to a different room for the week. The 2nd room we stayed in 1 night and the next morning woke up to ants crawling all over our bed, table and infants diapers. The splash pad was broken most of the time so our toddler couldn’t even play in it.

A nice easy stay at a decent hotel
Pros:

Close to cedar point. Clean rooms. Nice staff

Cons:

I wish you had more breakfast options and vending machines. We got there and all of the adjoining rooms were taken. That was ok just wished we had gotten one.

Somewhere close to stay at cedar point but not worth the cost.
Pros:

The location to cedar point.

Cons:

Room was dirty, pubic hair on the toilet seat, mold in the shower, even some hair on the comforter. Also, waited almost 30 minutes in line to check in to the room. Will not recommend this hotel.
