We had a great stay here! Room is cute, clean and trendy! I loved the "community " feel of the hotel with fire pit in the back, cornhole boards, volleyball net, picnic tables with small grills! They even offer RV parking! It is close to train tracks, but we live across from tracks at home so that brought us some comfort, very close to Cedar Point! A few things the room could use.. a larger garbage can in the room. Our top bunk had no blanket in it so one kid was cold. 🤷‍♀️ . Floors were dirty, judging by our bare feet. The common area was cute, you can get ice, water, soda and snacks from machines- it also offered a first aid kit, television, books and a restroom to use.

Old motel fully updated, really liked the vibe. Rooms were unique & comfortable. The only downfall was there wasn't storage for belongs. We had an issue with our door lock & did have to wait for service. However, it was fixed within the hour by the owner. Would recommend & would stay again.

We arrived at the hotel late with our family after a long day at cedar point. Instead of coming to a relaxing hotel stay we walked into the room and it was completely full of bugs! There were bugs in every corner of the ceiling, spiders in the bathtub and long black hairs on the toilet seat. We immediately left the hotel and drove back home. I contacted the hotel the next morning and was basically told there was nothing they were will to do to make the terrible experience right.

First time staying and definitely recommend.. room was spacious. Yes can use more tables. I read ahead and brought a few lil folding tables.. they send u a text with room number and code. I booked through booking and didn't get a code but called and got one over the phone .. our room had a view of the lot next door but others toward middle looked cute ..near train tracks but didn't keep us up . Forgot to take pictures of inside before we put all our stuff in .. will definitely stay again .location is perfect for going to cedar point. Stayed again .had same room which was fine. Just booked for next year trying a lil bigger room.. Bathroom in 11 could use a towel bar fir atleast small towel above toilet.. the lights as someone else mentioned are odd ..I bring light sticks and a night light

What a fantastic stay! It was the perfect spot, conveniently located near Cedar Point. We loved how clean it was and the easy, contactless access to our room was a huge plus. Even my fiancée, who has very high standards, was completely satisfied. We'll definitely be back!
