The cabin was great, very accessible and convenient. Having a dog, being able to park right in front of the room was wonderful. The decor was charming, loved the colors! The creativity was impressive. The only issue I had was road noise. It didn’t bother me but it triggered my dog’s anxiety, which truthfully, doesn’t take much. Also, very much appreciated the access to ice water in the lobby. It was a great stop before hitting the road again!

10's across the board. I stayed here for a few nights on our trip to Cedar Point and honestly I can't imagine going anywhere else on future visits. To begin, this location is a 6-minute drive from the park. The room was very reasonably priced, clean, and contain pretty much everything you will need including a blow dryer, fridge, coffee maker, microwave, and a clothes steamer. That bed was comfortable but did have some sort of polyester sheets which as a hot sleeper kept me a little warmer than I would have liked. When I decided to extend my stay by one night, Omar was extremely helpful and made the whole process a breeze. Give this man a raise. I will be back.

Other than dust on the windowsills and at the top of the windows, the room was clean to a good standard. The rooms are nice especially for the price. They have three queen bed options, which is not a common option in the area at a very good deal. Staff was very friendly that worked on the premises however, there is no front desk for check-in. I was a little concerned about this at first, but the experience they provided was amazing. I was given a phone number to text with any questions or issues and they did great responding to me. This is also been a great location if you’re visiting Cedar point it’s only six minutes from the park in about half the cost of the pork that’s in front of cedar point.. the rooms and everything seem to be pretty new and/or very well taken care of . The AC worked great will gladly stay here again.

The sink faucet needed tightened and an extra trashcan in the main room would be helpful, but overall I was very pleased.

This little spot is just absolutely adorable. Clean, well kept, quiet and pet friendly. We were in town for a long weekend at cedar point, and this was perfect for being able to go to the park and come back, rest, and return to the park. We will certainly be back.

The property was close to the convention center, and I had easy access to the unit. There is some road work on the street, so figuring out the turn in was a little difficult. Overall it was a beautiful place to stay.

Clean and convenient. I needed a place for a one night stay. I appreciated the ease of check-in. You pay and they give you a code, very easy.

The room was very clean and spacious. The only bad thing would be the trains running at night bliwing the horns. I believe there was a total of 5 trains over night that woke me up.
