Came in May 2012 for Cedar Point, and was excited to hear they had a pool.When we arrived pool was a cement hole, no water and weeds growing out of it. The lobby monitor was nice but knew the hotel was horrible. We get to the room, stains on the carpet, hair in the bathroom, beds look like they made... More

I booked a king room.. When I arrived, they only had rooms with two double beds left. Working in a hotel, we would normally upgrade the guest to the next room up, but I dont believe they have any larger rooms than a standard. In this case, I was actually charged a higher price for the room because there were... More

Thank you for taking the time to rate and review your stay with us. I'm sorry that the room you received was not what you originally booked--and you are correct, the only room types that we have at this property are rooms with two double beds or rooms with king-sized beds. However, we do not charge based on the number... More

The place is really dated, but its incredibly cheap!! For spending the weekend at Cedar Point this is a great Hotel. Yes its a bit farther out, but its an easy drive, maybe 20 minutes to the park, and you pass a McDonald's and a Starbucks, and Sonic is in the same parking lot. If all you're doing is sleeping,...

We stayed after shooting a wedding at kalahari (we are photographers) and wanted to go to Cedar Point the next day. Well, they have no elevators so we had to haul everything upstairs, which sucked. The whole hallway reeked like marijuana & the cleaning staff looked as scrubby as the hallways. The guy at the desk was nice. The lobby... More
