"Obviously can't be beat if you want a good hotel that's right next door to Cedar Point and will get you early access to the park. My family had a nice room that faced onto Lake Erie with a lovely enclosed terrace. But weirdly the bathroom seemed very old and long in need of renovation. And the hotel's "fitness center" was a joke - just a couple of ellipticals and treadmills, and a broken weight machine left in totally disarray. Still it's nice to have a few different restaurants at your disposal (even if a bit overpriced) and to have a place to take an easy midday rest when you need a break from Top Thrill 2 and Steel Vengeance."

Went for three nights while visiting cedar point. What made it even better is the “entertainment venue” attached.
