7.2/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room I booked for $300 during the off-season was ready as promised and nicely updated, but unfortunately, it had a strong sewage smell on the morning of our departure. The service was generally friendly, especially the girl who checked us in, but I felt they could have been a bit more thorough. The location was convenient for a late exit from the park and offered great amenities like free parking for Cedar Point, a pool, and a hot tub, though it seemed like the area was undergoing revitalization. The dining experience was underwhelming, considering it offered limited options and even charged for basic items like donuts and coffee.

The location is family-friendly with great hours until 11 p.m., situated in a safe area. The proximity to Cedar Point and the hotel's discounts and early access are a plus, although not much else around except for the courtyard area.

While the dining options were available in the hotel, there were some cleanliness issues with tree debris in the drinks. The sandwiches were tasty, but improvement is needed in maintaining cleanliness.

The hotel looks like it has been revitalized and is nicely situated very close to Cedar Point. It's a family-friendly spot with great hours extending until 11 p.m., offering an excellent location for visitors.

Dining

6.0

While I expected more from a hotel affiliated with the Cedar Point amusement park, the dining experience was somewhat lacking. Not being allowed past the lobby for dining was a downside, though the availability of marinated fish was a unique touch.

The hotel provides easy access to plenty of towels and ample parking, making it convenient for guests visiting the nearby amusement park.
