Way overpriced for the experience For some reason we did not all of our check in information. We didn’t know what room we were in or a code to get in. We arrived late so I was relived when someone answered my call. She provided our room number and the code to get in. The code didn’t work after several attempts. Thankfully we were able to get in after a few minutes do texting back and forth. The rooms are just a place to sleep, nothing more. The bathroom is very small with a sink that’s barely big enough to wash your hands without making a huge mess. The shower was spacious and decent. The beds were comfortable. There was no trash can in our room and it was not very well cleaned with lots of dirt and dust along the baseboards and edges of the floors. Because there were no additional mirrors to get ready, we tried to use the restrooms in the Main Office, but found it locked and were not given a code. My biggest complaint was how much it cost for a very bare bones experience. The beds were comfortable. That’s the best thing I can say.

It was a nice place aesthetically but looking closer past the nice looks, I found a few bugs and the fridge smelt rlly bad, also the shower didn’t work great and the body wash was practically water it didn’t lather at all. The bed was hard. Other than those things the tv was super nice and the pillows were soft.

Super cute and easy check in process. Our room was upgraded the day of which was a nice surprise. Wish we could have enjoyed the space longer. Only thing I would say is to bring earplugs as there is a train nearby

The hotel was such a hidden gem outside of Ceder Point. My son and I stayed for one night so we could visit the park for a few days. It was very clean and easy to access. My only complaint is that the hotel does not have anyone there managing the building. At lest while we where there. Unfortunately the room next to us had about three VERY young kids that the parents just left alone until 3 or 4 in the morning and it was very loud all night so we did not get much sleep.

Fun new hote Definitely a fun experience. I wish there was some kind of table or coffee table. The bathroom was very small but nice and clean. The morning we wer due to check out, the smell of **** was overwhelming. When we exited our room, all cars of neighboring rooms were gone but there were 4 teenage boys with the cleaning cart acting unruly. It made me a little nervous on cleaning practices.

Modernize Old style motel. Prompt service. bed stand is wood and seemed to have warped a bit making it squeak. Walls were thin, we could hear conversation level talking on the other side so I’m sure they heard us laughing at memes together after 10pm.

The room I stayed in was fantastic and well kept, a little small and I wish there would have been a small table and they had forgotten to leave a paper with wifi passwords etc but these are very minor details and I can't rate it less than 5 stars for trivial things. 10/10 would stay again
