This place is such a gem! Family friendly way beyond what most hotels locally offer! Clean site, comfortable bedding and seating, courteous staff, outstanding place! I will definitely be back! So grateful I found this place as staying near Cedar Point sometimes produces limited options for a family over 5. 10/10

Very clean, staff was extremely nice and helpful. Nice fire pit and chairs behind the building were nice to enjoy a bonfire at night. Corn hole boards and community charcoal grill and picnic tables behind the building for guest to also use.

I loved the simple but clean room, they are pet friendly Nice grounds basically a simple comfortable place to spend the night. I'll come back when I'm in town. Only real complaint was the sink was rather small.

"Cheap update, not so clean"

4.0

We’ve stayed here prior to the renovation, and it was a very rundown, nasty property. It’s definitely updated but in the most minimal, cheap way possible. I’d guess they’re not that experienced. The shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc., were in big bottles that could easily be opened and contaminated by previous guests. It should at least be locked like the Hilton does so you can be confident it wasn’t tampered with. The bedding had a lot of hair and debris. I don’t appreciate the decorative pillows that were really dirty. Either get rid of them or keep them on the seat and not the bed. Everyone knows they cannot be cleaned and are frankly unsanitary. I don’t want something unwashed where I lay my head to sleep. There is a lot of hair and dander on the sides of the bed frame. We also found trash from the previous guest behind the nightstand. The clock in the room didn’t work because it didn’t have batteries. There was only one trash can in the bathroom, none in the room area. The bathroom sink is slanted; we originally thought it was falling off the wall. The shelves and light fixture was crooked. It was cheaper but still not cheap enough for the condition and how dirty it was. We wouldn’t stay here again. The only pro was being able to check in and out on your phone and skip the front desk.

Room was spacious and clean. We didn't get a code but called the number and he said its because we booked through booking but was able to give me over the phone. Bed was comfortable.

Could use another table but u read reviews and brought a couple lil folding tables..wouldn't keep me from staying again
