“Get what you pay for”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed July 7, 2012

If you want a nice, quality hotel do NOT stay here. I stayed here on the 3rd of July and we chose this hotel just for the price. Very cheap, not nice. My friends and I took a swim in the pool as soon as we got there since we'd been on the road for 5 hours (from MI) The pool was quite dirty but that's not a big deal. When we went to our rooms there were stains on the floor, hairs left by the sink, toilet, nightstand, buttons missing off of the phone, alarm clock didn't work, stuff was left messy in the bathroom, grout was moldy. Also, in the shower the vent was PACKED with dust. Also, floors were not swept (piles of bugs laying around) It is very close to Cedar Point though which is why we stayed here (besides price) Guy behind counter was very nice though when I went down to get more towels. When I walked down the hallway late at night it REEKED of marijuana though. So, if you're looking for a place to stay that's cheap and near Cedar Point then by all means pick this place. But, if you're looking for a nice, clean, place to stay- pick a different location.

“It is what it is....and worth it.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 25, 2012

Here's the deal....it's cheap compared to the other hotels in the area. The 'breakfast' was the only thing I would complain about. It wasn't a breakfast, but that's ok.....it's close to many decent places to eat. No fridge or microwave....but, again...that's OK! The rooms were clean, the staff was fine....What in the world can you complain about when you choose a hotel based on a cheap price when things are seriously....just fine. It's not a 5 star hotel, it....is what it is. We will return. It's a place to sleep at a decent price. When you get back from the park after 10, with a clean room and the beds are made......and leave when you get up....with clean towels each day....what is there to gripe about?? Again....I will say....we'll return. No problems.

Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay with our hotel! I am pleased that you found value in the accommodations and that you found your room to be clean and in acceptable order. As you indicate in your review, this is a budget-conscience property--as such, breakfast is not a mandated amenity; although we DO provide free coffee and muffins as a courtesy to all of our guests. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us. We look forward to your return visit!

“Much better than what we read”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 24, 2012

We have stayed in many America's best value inns all over the country. We like them so much we became Value Club members. We read the reviews to many different inns, motels, hotels and alike up near Cedar Point. Really none sounded good to stay at. We choose to stay at our little fav inn and hoped for the best after reading about dirty rooms and rude staff. The room was nice and clean and the the staff was very helpful and friendly. The one thing I do agree with is the WiFi sucks. It was sporadic and only really worked the first time I logged in. But really who needs it when you are going to Cedar Point? The restaurant on sight was great and great value for the amount of food you got! Needed dogie bags but no fridge or microwave in the room. Oh well, Sorry Snoopy. Over all great stay, great value, no issues will go back next time we go up to Cedar Point!

Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay at our hotel. I'm glad that you found it to exceed your expectations and that you are a loyal Value Club member of ABVI! I'm super-excited to hear that the accommodations were clean and that the staff was pleasant and responsive to your needs. Thanks, also, for bringing the sporadic WiFi access to our attention. We will most definitely look into that problem and see if we can't find a resolution. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us. We look forward to seeing you back again on your next visit to our area!

“You get what you pay for”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed June 18, 2012

Stayed here for one night while in Cedar Point. Honestly, was very scared after reading all of the horrible reviews (I was not the one to make the hotel arrangements). Once we arrived everything looked fine, staff was nice, lobby area was decent and the room was clean. Only had one problem with a friend of mine having a very flat pillow but we received a new one after we asked. It's not much of a hotel but for one night and the price you are paying, it works. You get what you pay for.

“I recently stayed at this hotel for bike week and NOT NEAR AS BAD as all of the reviews”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed June 12, 2012

This hotel had all bad reviews so when I arrived I was not sure what I would find, but actually it was a very nice place especially for the money. It was nearly half the price as any of the other hotels in the area and I was very pleased with the room. The room was clean and the employees were VERY nice and helpful to all of my requests. The only problem I had was that the safe didn't work and they couldn't figure out why, so they offered to give me a different room but it was not that important to me to use the safe. I would definitly recommend it to anyone who is going there and wants to save some money on a room. The only draw back was there was no continental breakfast except coffee and packaged blueberry muffins which to me is important because I like to have breakfast when I get up and I had to travel to get a meal. Maybe they will read this and start to offer a decent breakfast and it would make my next stay a little more relaxing since i won't have to go out to eat in the morning.

Thanks for taking the time to review your recent stay at our hotel! We're appreciative of your review and pleased that your stay met the majority of your expectations. Because of the deeply discounted hotel rates that we are able to offer, continental breakfast is not a required amenity for this particular franchise brand. We offer the muffins and coffee simply as an "extra" or as a courtesy to our guests. We look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to our area. Until then, safe travels!!
