The only thing I would change is the lack of furniture in the room in regards to a small table or nightstands. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and would be happy to go back next time we are in town for Cedar Point.

Perfect setup for a Cedar Point trip! The location made getting to the park quick and easy. We ended up trying two different room types during our stay, and the kids absolutely loved the bunk beds in one of the rooms. Everything was clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

I would love to give this place 5 stars for what it is but simply can't based in the lack of sleep our family was able to get while staying here. For starters, there was a dampness about our room. Bedsheets and just everything felt damp which honestly just feels gross. There was strong a happening but poorly insulated rooms along with massive gaps between the door creates a difficult controlled climate in the room. The major issue however is the location of this motel. There are railroad tracks across the street with what be RR crossing nearby because all night long, without exaggeration, every 30 to 60 minutes the sound a freight train coupled with locomotive whistle woke us up constantly. 2:00, 3:00 hours of the night. It was insane. We have stayed at nearby hotels and never dealt with this issue. Cute place though but would never stay here again.
