Easy, Clean, Right by CP, family With kids enjoyed. Not a ton of frills but super functional and really nice spot for coming and going to CP or other attractions in the area. Great food truck in the lot when we were there for meals and a couple minutes from CP entrance . We will come back and glad we booked

The property is very convenient to local attractions. Clean, functional, no frills. Need to add a dresser to at least have somewhere to open a second bag, and a garbage can in addition to the one in the bathroom. Easy reservation, check in and out. Good communication and responsive owner. Nice tv and comfortable bed. Thin walls - could clearly hear someone in adjacent room on a phone call. Went out of their way to replace down bedding in advance, as requested. Great when traveling with a pet.

My husband and I stayed here last weekend fri-sun to enjoy a little lake time and fishing. The location is great because it's close to not only food but a short drive to a lot of great fishing spots. It's very close to cedar point, and is right down the road from the thirsty pony! The room was EXTREMELY clean, and there was attention to detail in the updates that had been done. Everything from the super cool fridge to the shampoo and conditioner was above my expectations. Owners even checked in on us to ensure we did not need anything after the first night. This will definitely be a go to for us when we come back! Amazing value for what you pay, some of the branded hotels there are way below this place in cleanliness and customer service.

It was awesome! We usually stay at a bigger hotel, but we loved it and plan on visiting again! It was great! It was just my daughter and I. I was looking online and this place caught my eye. The queen bunk beds were something we’ve never seen before and was great!

It’s very minimalist, but everything we needed and REALLY clean. Great value. Online check in and out was so convenient. Customer service (via phone) was very helpful and quick to respond. Less than a mile from the Cedar Point Sports Complex. 10/10 recommend!

Very cute property and very reasonable. Close to sports complex. The train is a little noticeable at night but tolerable.
