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.

For not being a big chain it was a alright. Staff was friendly. Breakfast could’ve been better. There was No bacon but I understand. Only other complaint was guest being loud in the hallways late into the night.

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!
