Great stay for a great vacay!
Pros:

I am an IHG member so we received a couple of nice perks. We were given one hour of free bowling and they offered an ice cream social each evening. The ice cream novelties weren't really my type of choices ( bomb pop, sherbet and couple others like these) it is still a nice offer. If I had my choice it would include ice cream sandwiches, hint,hint. Everything was clean. Housekeeping came each day to trade out towels and empty the trash. Everyone we dealt with from tge front desk, breakfast crew and tge restaurant and bowling alley were all very nice and helpful.
Breakfast had great choices of turkey or pork sausage, biscuits, gravy, pancakes, cereals, eggs, yogurt, and breads and pastries. Good start for a good day.
Also, loved it was just down the road from the Cedar Point Parks and beach!
Will definitely go back!!!

Cons:

If you come into the parking lot late evening, it can be very hard to find a parking spot

Geared to please the guests.
Pros:

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. With all the vacation families and kids rushing to get on with their fun I hope people take a second to give appreciation to their dedicated staff. The hotel was clean, in good shape and had several perks to make the stay more relaxed.

Cedar Point fun and convenience
Pros:

We truly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It wasn’t brand new, but it was clean and seemed renovated. It is only a couple of miles from Cedar Point so it definitely meets the “location, location, location” requirement. More importantly, the staff were amazing especially Mrs. Shirley and her team. Breakfast was good and ran smoothly. She welcomed us as if we were long lost family. We wouldn’t hesitate to return. If you are visiting Cedar Point or will be in the area, don’t hesitate to book this one.

Exceeded expectations
Pros:

The staff were all amazing and the breakfast was really good. We loved the 1 hr free bowling even after a day spent at Ceedar Point. I will definitely be back. We arrived earlier than our check in time and they already had the room ready so they let us in early which was great.

Cons:

There's not much we didn't like except we didn't go swimming because the pool was cloudy but I know that happens when there are a lot people swimming do maybe next time.
