Pros:

Breakfast was good.

Cons:

There was no hot tub, no ice maker and the mattress I slept on, I had to sleep in the middle of the bad because the side was broken down and it hurt my hip.

Clean and quiet but somewhat worn place
Pros:

Excellent value for the price. Clean and well-maintained despite being an older property. Friendly staff. Quick and hassle-free check-in/-out. Ok breakfast (long hours 6–10 AM). The area felt safe and quiet, and the hotel itself was peaceful

Cons:

The property is dated and shows wear, and the TV in the room did not work

Bad experience
Pros:

Close to cedar point

Cons:

A lot. I already sent an email and haven't heard back. You were quick to ask for a review but not to address a negative one, I see.

Most unpleasant hotel stay I have ever experienced!
Pros:

The French toast sticks.
Dylan was super friendly during check in. The lady at the counter the next morning was awful though.

Cons:

The poop stains still in the toilet, mascara smears on the pillow, crumbs on the floor between the beds, hardly working refrigerator and the very loud rattling ac. What was worse was The loud, screaming people in the rooms near us running down the hall, knocking on doors & walls until after 1am. When telling the front desk about it the next morning she got snarky with me and said “you can move but the other floors are worse”
HOW IS THAT ACCEPTABLE? I spent too much money there to have my daughter not get a good nights sleep the night before her tournament! That’s the whole point of reason we got a hotel close to the facility in the first place. Waste of $400!

Despite the pool issues, it was a great stay
Pros:

Great location. Great staff. Nice breakfast

Cons:

Pool area was not taken care of. Pool was cloudy and filled with some kind of synthetic hair (in and out of pool). Towels all over the floor and chairs. Clean towels were hard to come by.
