Pet Friendly, Spacious Comfort
We had a very nice trip that was easy accessible and the room was comfortable! The space the family suite has to offer was great. This is also a pet friendly location which was a bonus for us.

VERY VERY Clean! Great place!
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.

8/10 Very Good

My son and I stayed here for two nights while we visited Cedar Point. Overall, for the price it was nice. I loved the way it was decorated and updated and it was super close to the park. We stayed in room 41. Here are a few things that maybe could be improved. The room did have a funny odor, similar to wet dog, we didn’t spend much time in the room so that wasn’t a deal breaker, just uncomfortable. There is a train very close to the property so just be aware that you will hear it. There is not anywhere to put your clothes in the room we stayed in so we simply used the luggage rack and put our suitcase on it. It also looked like they added water to the available soap to wash your hands in the bathroom so we used soap we brought. Make sure you read about when and how to get towels and such. We didn’t do this and missed the time to request more towels, so we just made do. The “office” was locked when we got home late from the park so we couldn’t access any ice or vending machines, so prepare for that. Very nice property overall and for the price!

Cedar Point trip
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.

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.

A Pure Gem
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
