VERY pleased!! Entire room was completely updated, VERY VERY CLEAN (and that is my #1 priority), HUGE room with all of the amenities you would need. And the price was fantastic! Great location, very close to Kalahari and Cedar Point. Easy to find. Would definitely stay there again.

My daughter, son-in-law and grandsons were here from Tennessee for a wedding. I live close to Detroit, so I drove down to take them to Cedar point for the day. There were seven of us all together so we needed a big place to stay overnight and this place was reasonable for the seven of us. There was plenty of room And and it was clean.

Excellent place to stay in Sandusky County for affordable rates.

We had a great stay. Slept great after walking around Cedar Point all day. Easy to get into room. Loved the decor. Only 2 downsides, It was very dark outside during our stay I needed to run to the store and was unsure of where the exits were and when I was coming back it was hard to see where the place was. We originally arrived when the sun was lighting our way. The other thing was that a 1 night stay was not long enough to explore the area and see what there was. So glad we booked again in October with my family.

This is a pure Gem to stay at! We loved it and will always stay here. Our kids were blown away with the family suite and how they had their own space but we were with them at the same time.

This adorable remodeled motel was excellent! I wasn’t sure when booking what to except but our room looks like it was just redone and had a 70’s chic vibe. The beds were very comfortable. Our family of 5 stayed in a family suite. We will happily stay here again on our next Cedar Point adventure.

We stayed 2 nights, room was cute and very clean, no complaints, check in was a breeze, Cedar Point is only minutes away! The only down fall we had is the food truck was never open even though the signs said food truck now open, but there was other food options close by! Great stay, they offer a lot of outdoor activities such as corn hole, spikeball, fire pits and grills, will definitely stay again

10/10 very comfortable beds, very clean and well designed rooms to accommodate pets. I was able to check in early with a reasonable fee. the manager I spoke with was very nice and professional. The grounds are great to walk your dog. They also have a food truck on site. I would definitely stay again.

Very close to Cedar Point
No front desk attendant
One thing that annoyed us was the washer and dryer was running loud close to our room all the way until after midnight
Bathroom door was not closing properly
Only those little things should improve
But will stay there again for sure

So cute and a fun place. Only recommendation is to upgrade the bathroom soap and shampoo so your customers don’t smell like Walmart all day lol 😆

The property is very clean and tidy. This was a family vacation and we had a dog with us as well. I loved that there were 3 beds, one being a king, plus being pet friendly. I loved how clean it was and that the floors weren't carpeted, in case of a dog accident (there weren't any, but it gave me piece of mind). I didn't hear the neighbors at all, so I'm assuming it is insulated well also. The train was annoying, but not their fault. I liked the access to the nice lobby, for the bathroom, when one of the 5 of us already took the bathroom. I did find it odd that even though we booked the room for 6 people, in case my dad joined us for a couple days, they only gave us 5 towels. But I emailed them for a towel refresh of 6 towels and they quickly got them to us. My biggest issue was how minimalistic the place was. There's no dressers anywhere in the room, not even a side table with drawers or anything. We packed 5 people into 3 suitcases and had no way of separating their clothes easily, and had to live out of those suitcases for 5 days. There was no couch in the room, just 2 chairs, so I feel there was plenty of places that a dresser could have gone. The bathroom is tiny with nowhere to place personal items, so all shower supplies had to go on the floor of the shower. There is a tiny shelf that holds 2 bottles that they provided though. The bathroom door was very tough to open and close and there were ants in the door frame of bathroom, but we sprayed dawn spray and killed them.
