The only positive thing I can day about this hotel is that it is cheaper than other nearby hotels. Its also 10 minutes from cedar pointm Mold growing in corners of bathroom sinks, window ac units, and hallways. Hallways feel and smell like they belong in a suspense horror film abandoned decades ago. Doors do not use actual keycards like 99.99 % of hotels use. They scrible a code on a receipt and you punch it on your room door. No idea if this code is used for only 1 door or general access to get into all rooms! Broken vending machines, deteriorating parking lot, bed mattresses are bricks, walls filled with holes and yellowish paint. Save yourself the headache and spend a little more for a quality goof night sleep!

Do not stay.

Terrible! We booked a king room 2 WEEKS before check in. Got there and checked in and got put in a double bed. Then got moved to a king bed with no tv, it was for “someone who just wanted to sleep” and then we found a clear tube under our sheets and our toilet was backed up and was full of crap. Literally. So they moved up back to the double bed and still found stuff under the beds!

I did not like the room. Carpets were disgusting and dirty. The bed was okay. I didn't particularly like the smell of room or atmosphere of place, no working WIFI. Disappointing. I know the new owner plans on renovating it, but I just was not a comfortable/accommodating hotel.

Room 131 needs a LOT of work. Plaster on widows, carpet, and walls are in need of serious repairs, as are the outlets, blinds, and A/c unit. Holes in walls, and chair that needs to be replaced. I couldn’t believe that they actually rented this room. Staff was friendly but they gave us the wrong code to our room and alarm sounded. I knew we were getting a cheap room, but this is beyond. Owner said they just bought the place two months ago. I’m going to suggest that they get a LOT of repairs done…and soon.

I’ve never been so disappointed in a hotel! We arrive and pull up and it literally looks like a deserted shutdown hotel. The picture from the app of the courtyard absolutely looks nothing like it does. There are weeds everywhere and things are overgrown, the pool was clean, but the concrete all around it is in need of a total redo. We had to walk up the stairs to our room and we literally thought the stairs and the platform were going to cave in. We had to walk up the stairs to our room and we literally thought the stairs and the platform we’re going to cave in. Our room was clean, simple, very outdated, didn’t even have fresh already wrapped up toilet paper and thankfully, we did sleep well because we brought our own pillows. The app said there were washers and dryers, but all the washers and dryers, snack machine and ice machine all said “out of order.” So whoever did the advertisement should be so disappointed in themselves because it looks absolutely horrible on the outside. I feel like I paid a decent amount of money for two nights that we did stay, for a place that looked like it was rundown, extremely outdated and falling apart!! EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED & would sadly NEVER recommend anyone going there!

This place was ok for our little weekend trip. Staff was very helpful and nice. Outside looks rundown and kinda crappy. The room was average though and no real complaints. Definitely a place to go if you dont care about the look and just plan on using it to shower and sleep.

Very good budget hotel

If you go in with high expectations, this is not the hotel for you. We were perfectly content with it however. Our towel rack was broken and one of our sink drains was stuck in the down position, but we had 2 sinks so we used the other one, no big deal. It smelled clean, the beds were comfortable and the shower had good pressure and hot water. This is all we need when booking a room. The best part is that it was nearly half the price of all the franchise hotels in the area. I’d recommend this place to everyone.
