Great hotel close to cedar point! Love the tiki huts and pool,staff is wonderful! They’ve renovated most of the rooms. A lot of the rooms have roku TVs which is great so we can watch Tubi tv. Great no frills hotel old but clean. Lots of character and close to everything. Stay here every time we go to cedar point.

Not a hilton but perfect for my family
Friendly, helpful staff. Can't beat the price! Kids loved the pool and the fact that it was open a little later than most 🙂 Yummy donuts and breakfast so close was also a plus. Had a great stay! I travel from a couple hrs away and frequent cedar point with my kids and am glad I found this little gem, will be back again for sure!

Overall the hotel was ok. I was nervous since I was traveling by myself. The towels were stained, which didn’t give a good impression. The sheets were clean and actually smelled and felt good. The bed looked very old and well worn but it wasn’t too bad. I actually slept well and it was pretty quiet even though there was a lot of people walking around when I got there. I would possibly consider staying there again.

The last three nights of my stay I saw two roaches crawling on the microwave and refrigerator in the room. I have stayed here previously and would do so again. Hoping this was just a one off and that they have it taken care of before I return.

Pleasant stay
Don’t understand all the negative reviews on this hotel. It’s no frills yes. The mindset going into this has to be just that. A bed, shower and tv. It’s clean place and welcoming. Check in staff very friendly.

Served uts purpose
Service was great front desk was super nice... complex is just very dated and not very clean... the pool area looked nice and the pool appeared clean and inviting. Rooms were dirty with cigarette burns in the carpet and bed sheets, walls were scuffed with dirt streaks and the AC unit was very filthy blowing out debris

If you’re just looking for a no frills, just a place to sleep motel. This low cost inn will be fine. Staff is very friendly. I didn’t ask for anything but I have no doubt I would have received great service. Mattress needs to be updated and I would have liked a coffee maker. Although I didn’t use the pool it looked very clean and well maintained.

Pay more for better
The room we had was very small, concerning looking with the mattress, sheets. And bedding and pillows. Whole room made me feel uncomfortable with the cleanliness. Check in was great. The gentleman who helped me was so nice. We got the room on a deal so very very very cheap. I would Suggest getting a more expensive room because I’m sure they’re nicer.

New Mattresses Required
The hotel was great for what we needed. It was clean and the staff was very friendly. The rooms are dated but clean and quiet. The mattresses are where the issue is. We were put in the 2nd building, attached to Jolly Donor, and the mattresses were flat and quite uncomfortable. And the pillows were flat.
Bathroom was clean and towels were okay.
The pool and outdoor decor was nice!

Yikes
The place was a s**t hole. It was so smelly and dirty. I hated being there but I guess you get what you pay for is legit with this hotel. The pros were the pool was ok and the water was warm and the hotel was quiet, beds were ok. Other than that everything was negative. We were even in the *executive suites* can’t imagine what the other rooms were like.

Eco friendliness… had to think how to best answer such vague terminology, as there is no obvious eco friendly commonality such as advertised recycling at the property. I would advocate for the fact it is older property, yet it is maintained and offers truly affordable rates, favorably, over the option of tearing it down and charging unnecessary higher rates for “new” or “improved.” Thankful for the affordable offerings.

I have stayed in many hotels in my life and this was the worst one yet. Ended up leaving 15 min after I arrived with no refund. Dirty and smelled plus my window was busted in front of the place! drug and prostitution activity in front of the place, and thanks to hotels.com no easy refund!
