The tv didn’t work. Couldn’t link to the cable box. But the room was clean the breakfast was good. Great location. In fairness I didn’t tell the front desk about the tv cause I was so tired it didn’t matter. All in all it was fine.

The hotel was really clean, comfortable, and cute. Modern and good service. The only issue I had was the unexpected $25 early check in fee. Everything else was great!

This was the best budget motel i have ever stayed at. It was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The staff was professional. The breakfast tables got cleaned as soon as someone left so you didn’t have to choose which table had the fewest crumbs. This will be my go to when i visit Cedar Point.

Not as good as the first time.
This is the secone time I've stayed at this property. I came back because of the great experience. The second visit was not as good as the first. The staff was so kind, the king size rooms are private with their own entrance, as well as a jacuzzi tub. However on the final morning I had realized I had bed bug bites all over my arms. I wouldve given this property 5 stars all around if this hadn't happened. I'm disappointed.

You can tell the owners and staff take pride in their motel. It's an older place, but rooms were clean and well maintained. Great location and close to Cedar Point. The breakfast was a nice bonus. I met the lady that works it and she was so nice. Would definitely stay again!

Clean hotel to lay your head down
I liked that it didn't feel like a chain. It was very clean, and the location was close to the highway. They offered free bottled water at check-in. Jetted tub was nice. Although they had shampoo, body wash, and lotion, there was no conditioner available. The room was nice and spacious. Everything was very clean in the room and in the common areas. The breakfast was pretty minimal, with some fruits, mini pastries, a couple of cereals, and a pancake maker; but any free breakfast is better than nothing. Bed was decent enough, but there didn't seem to be enough layers (just one topsheet and a fleece blanket), so I wouldn't call it cozy. Overall satisfactory place to rest for the night.

So the manager was very cranky even other people mentioned that. Not helpful at all. There was a constant leak or drip from the overhang entering the room. There was a fridge there was updated bathroom those were the good things. Couldn't pull the curtain all the way shut it was a huge gap people could see in. It was a place to stay fairly clean ... Price fit the room. If you're just looking for a place to stay it's okay.

Quiet, convenient location. Breakfast was far below expectation. Staff was mostly courteous. Desk personnel, at check-in and check-out, seemed to be bothered by the interruption of a guest requesting their attention.
