Basic amenities with easy parking and an outdoor pool that guests find clean but modest; it is seasonal and, for some, awkwardly located near the parking lot. One review noted no elevator and another said a workout room was not available.

A pool and workout facilities were advertised. No workout room, and the pool is OUTDOORS and not open in April, Breakfast was sub-par. The area the motel is in is noisy from traffic and a shared parking lot with 2 other businesses. The outside of the building is not inviting, and I really regret booking at this inn.

Stayed there because of my kids baseball tournament. Price was great and I got exactly what I hoped for. Room was clean. Floor was laminate hardwood so my allergies were good. No worn carpet to worry abt. Shower and bathroom were clean. Beds were comfy. My only negatives were the pool was closed. They told me it didn't open until Memorial Day and we were there the weekend before. A sign by the pool gate or at the check in counter would've been nice. It's was 85 when we checked in. The other negative comment was the ironing board. It's in the bathroom and the legs on it were rusty to where it looked like it would break off if you tried to use it. We didn't plan to use it, that's just something I noticed. I would definitely stay here again. Family of 4.

The coffee was great in the morning. The limited breakfast was just enough to please myself and kids. Waffles, cereal, and yogurt. The pool was good enough to keep cool. It’s just weird that it’s in the middle of the parking lot. Tons of parking. My only issue was the room could have been cleaner. Had a fake eyelash in my bed, what appeared to be a small drop of blood on the sheets. The floors was coming apart. Bathroom was clean. Bed was comfortable. Wifi was crap. Man it’s bad. Otherwise it’s close to everything.

This property charged us $131 to hold the room, $262 when we arrived (room total for 2 nights was supposed to be $218). Within an hour we discovered the bedbugs and were getting bitten. When we went to the desk she said she would refund us but instead charged another $131. Emptied our bank account and left us with with $13 at 3 am. We were supposed to be at Cedar Point for a conpany event at 8. We ended up sleeping in the walmart parking lot in our vehicle because of this property and their negligence. Do not stay here.

We stayed in the suite upstairs, the beds were comfortable other than the pull out sofa which was not comfortable at all. Luckily there was just 3 of us so 2 of us shared one bed. The room itself was very clean. Overall for the price I’d say it was all nice. Only thing I didn’t like was the pull out sofa bed. Staff was friendly and made it known we could contact them at any time. Thank you for a good stay, we would come back.

It's fine for a night and for the price, but I'd never stay more than one night just because of the bed

We were very happy with our stay here! We traveled in for 1 night to take our kids to Cedar Shores Waterpark for the day! We think this place is in a great location! The beds were comfy and clean! We did think the bathroom smelled very musty and when we wiped the floor with a white towel, it definitely needs a mop. But other than that the rest of the room was perfect! The a/c worked great! The pool is open until 10:30, it was nice for our little ones to be able to get in before bed. The pool is decent shape. They do offer a small bit delicious breakfast! Make your own waffle, or fruit, yogurt, multiple cereals to chose from! Free ice machine, works great and close by! There are also a lot of restaurants and shops very close by and all for the price it's a wonderful place to stay! I was a little Leary at first but it definitely exceeded my families expectations! We would definitely stay again!

We were pleasantly surprised at how modern and clean the room and furnishings were. A comfortable king sized bed, spacious room, a good sized desk, large bathroom, and extra essentials (fridge/freezer, shampoo, iron and ironing board, and plenty of outlets) adorned the room. The staff at the front desk was kind and even called us right away when they found that we had accidentally left something behind. All of this at a very low rate. I would definitely recommend this motel!

Stayed in February, room was warm & cozy. I might not choose this room during the summer tourist season as you would probably hear a lot from the surrounding rooms if it was busier/parking lot that is shared with a restaurant.

Decent place to stay, didnt spend much time as we spent most of the time out and about but good place to lay your head for the night. Stuff was a little noisy as you heard people above you really easily and grounds weren't the best for convenience to the front office. Breakfast was lacking. No protein (not even yogurt) just lots of carbs and coffee. Overall not a bad stay.
