It suited our needs for what we were doing.
Pros:

The breakfast was good, good coffee as well

Cons:

Our room was tired and in need of some improvements. The carpet felt crusty under my feet like it needed to be replaced, missing paint on the walls, broken door on the entertainment center to cover the refrigerator, and the refrigerator itself was leaking and gross on the inside. No body wash or shampoo in the bathroom, had to go ask for those items.

A clean, comfortable hotel with a great location, friendly staff, and a good complimentary breakfast, though the rooms c
Pros:

We had a great stay and would definitely stay here again. The location was excellent, especially if you’re visiting Cedar Point. It was close to everything we needed and made getting to and from the park quick and easy.

The complimentary breakfast was a nice bonus with a good selection of items. The lady working the breakfast area was especially kind, welcoming, and helpful. She really went out of her way to make sure everyone had what they needed, and it made a great start to the day.

Everyone on the staff we interacted with was friendly and courteous, which made us feel welcome throughout our stay.

If you’re planning a trip to Cedar Point and just need a clean, comfortable place to stay, I’d definitely recommend this hotel.

Cons:

Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay. If I had to suggest one area for improvement, it would be the guest rooms. While everything was clean and well-maintained, the rooms could benefit from some updates. New carpeting, a fresh coat of paint, and a few modern touches would go a long way in making the rooms feel more up to date. Nothing major just a little TLC to match the excellent staff and great location.

Pros:

The free passes for bowling and the free breakfast:) Great idea, bowling was next door and what a great idea!!!

Cons:

It was raining when we left, we parked in back...maybe an awning where my husband could have pulled up and we could have loaded up at the back door.

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
