Very clean! They say in the listing that they offer a crib upon request but they did not have one so just prepare for that if needed. Other than that checkin was very easy the room was clean and quiet.

This was a clean room with easy self check in. When we were the only ones in the building, we got upgraded free of charge which was kind of them. It was a perfect stay for two adults taking a weekend away from the kids. There was a bit of noise pollution, which is the only reason for the four stars on the "area around the property"

We had a good stay, the location for us was great. Close enough to the different marinas, and the city but not quite in the busyness. We loved that Toft’s ice cream was right down the road. The small kitchenette room was just right for a small family of 3, as we like to eat in more than out.

Older converted Motel. We stayed in a 2 room suite. We had 2 bathrooms with showers that really helped save time. Area is decent. Access to Cedar Point and other local attractions is extremely efficient. We would stay here again.

The room was updated. Beds were comfortable. Unfortunately the shower was very dirty. There were a ton of dead bugs on the couch and windowsills.
