"Restful Stay"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Family of four enjoyed our stay after two days of hot weather at Cedar Point. Location was ideal. Room was clean and comfortable, quiet. Breakfast was much better than other places we've stayed at in the area, but could use more fresh fruit. Our fav was the ice cream happy hour, a hit with all the guests. No hesitation to stay again.
