Maggie at the desk is AMAZING, she could make anyone’s stay great. Although this isn’t the Ritz, they have done far better at updating and trying to keep with the times while maintaining a great rate than a lot of name brand hotel chains. The surrounding area is a tad rough looking, but we felt safe at the hotel. The parking lot was well lit and although the pool area is randomly in the parking lot it’s fenced and a great amenity to offer. Breakfast included was the icing on the cake and just as good as any hotel continental options. They even offer complimentary bottled water to take back to your room. It far exceeded my expectations for just needing a bed to save on a morning drive to Cedar Point.
The hotel is run down and dirty. My daughter fell on their sidewalk and skinned up her knee and elbow pretty bad. It was an inconvenience to find a bandaid for her. Room was run down and dirty.
The front office staff were very nice. We were a family of 5 and they had the roll away set up with sheets made. Would definitely stay there again when coming to Cedar Point.
We got charged for a freezer. They said it was broken after we checked out and we did not even use the freezer. We had a cooler of our own not very happy.

Close to Cedar Point
The location is great, it’s on 2.5 miles from Cedar point. The rooms are like a motel feel (all room entrances are on the outside). There is a freight train that is loud that runs through very close to the motel and it runs all night long. There is an outdoor pool open until 11pm. Breakfast is served 6-9 am. The rooms look newly refurbished. The bathroom door doesn’t open all the way because the shower rod is curved.
There was a strange smell in the room a lot. Smelled like exhaust or some type of gas, maybe coming from the A/C unit. It made me nauseous.

We stayed here after a fun filled day at Cedar Point. We were pretty much just looking for beds to sleep in and it fit the bill. We reserved a room with 3 double beds and it was perfect for the 3 adults and 2 kids. The bathroom could have been cleaner. It definitely needed a new shower curtain. If we were looking to stay there long term, I probably would not pick it but for a bed for the night, it was fine. The Breakfast area was very clean. It had the typical cereal, bagels, and muffins but it was well taken care of.
Overpriced, pictures are misleading. Took an extra $100 which I should get back in 3-5 business days- not like a typical deposit because they pulled it from my bank on the spot as opposed to a hold. Awful experience, we left at 4:30am as soon as we were awake enough to drive. Would do anything for a refund, not accurate advertising.
We had asked for a triple bed room and only received a double deluxe. We reserved the room a month in advanced but were told at the location they had given it away and we would have to deal. The room we had smelled like cat pee. We were charged for a triple bed when we didn’t have one we were told it would be fixed. it was not. We paid $50 extra for a room we didn’t receive.
We slept in a room that smelled like cat urine we were told that would be refunded for that night, it was only discounted $30. The place was loud. The doors didn’t lock well. The bathtub didn’t drain. Wasn’t a very safe location. We had the choice to stay there or holiday inn which was only $25 more a night. We had chose cedar cove since it was a small business. I won’t go back. Very disappointed. Don’t use Expedia to reserve rooms. Reviews aren’t accurate. Very upset that we reserved one thing and received another. Upset that room smelled so bad we had to spray it down just so we could sleep. A $30 discount does not suffice what we went through. If coming to town, spend the extra for a nicer hotel.
The staff were so nice! We checked in late and yet they were still so kind, polite, and truly interested in our story. We will probably be staying there next year.

Just what we needed. A bed for the night. Air conditioner worked well. The beds were clean. But the room had a musty smell. The bathroom had no fan and definitely had water damage. The wall was falling apart by the bathtub. But overall did what we needed.
We stayed here for 2 nights while we visited Cedar Point. The price is very reasonable. Checkin was easy and she was friendly. Our room was updated. It was clean. Beds, AC and bathrooms were all wonderful. We enjoyed sitting in the chairs along the pond while my son took pictures of the wildlife flying nearby. It was very peaceful. We did use the pool which was clean and relaxing. It’s not big but certainly did the job. Breakfast was a nice spread. The employees were all very nice that we encountered. I had no complaints about our stay and would definitely stay again!
