Would not rebook.
Pros:

Accessibility

Cons:

The bed I slept in was very worn out. There wasn’t enough lighting in the room and there wasn’t enough comfort with bedding and showering/bathing facilities . Poor room odor. Poor heat control. Overheated in the night creating poor sleep conditions.

It was one night, but it was gross and we most likely will not ever return.
Pros:

The location was good to the Cedar Point Sports facility.

Cons:

The bed was so badly concaved it was unusable. The room smelled very musty and moldy. The air system was off so it was freezing and smelly. The bathroom was dirty and had no shampoo or soap in the shower.
