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.

We were glad to have found the lovely "Explorer" for our final night of a 13 day - 3 city journey. It was perfect. Everything was clean and fresh and appeared brand new. The room included a frig and microwave. Being able to pull up to the door for a brief overnight stay was perfect. It was just what we needed.

Kids loved the big backyard and the retro fridges. Grownups loved the lounge chairs outside the Explorer Suite Cabin 50 for coffee in the morning. Between our 2 families we have 11 children so finding places where everyone has room to sleep is hard so they had an amazing time with everyone only having to sleep with 1 other buddy. Only 2 feedback is in the Explorer ranch #10, shower curtain is about 1inch too short so there was decent water escaping. We put towels down but just thinking long term. 2 is add a note to your info sheet about which direction is the number gauge for the fridge/freezer. Is 1 the closest setting or the warmest (we Google the model to confirm) Already thinking of next year's family yearly Cedar Point trip and planning our when we can book again.

Absolutely perfect place for an overnight stay. We were thrilled with our accommodations; neat, clean and tastefully decorated. Frig and microwave provided. Highly recommend. Won’t find a better price point for what you get.

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!

This is a great room if you’re looking for a lot of space for a family of 6! The beds were extremely comfortable, and the room was clean and well set up! The room number and code to get in are sent right to your phone, so you can go straight to your room without having to check in at a desk. It’s also very affordable. Highly recommend!

This is a single story motel where you can park right near your room if there’s a space available. The air conditioners however face the same direction as the parking area which will suck in people’s car smells. In our case someone else’s car had a gas leak and the fumes were ****** into our room while we were sleeping. That’s mostly an unfortunate circumstance for us but I also noticed a lot of human hair all over our pillows as if the cases weren’t changed from the previous guest. I did like the simple setup, decor, the bigger size smart tv, the amenities, the price, and the distance from Cedar Point but I won’t stay here again.

Great place to stay! We stayed here with our dogs and loved having the big grassy area out back to take them. About a 10ish minute drive to downtown restaurants and bars. Check in and check out was really easy and user friendly to do.

Wheelchair accessible
My daughter is in a wheelchair and it’s hard finding places that are wheelchair accessible and this place is definitely wheelchair accessible. They have a roll in shower and plenty of room for my daughter to move around in.
