It’s very minimalist, but everything we needed and REALLY clean. Great value. Online check in and out was so convenient. Customer service (via phone) was very helpful and quick to respond. Less than a mile from the Cedar Point Sports Complex. 10/10 recommend!

We loved this cute and modern motel. We travel all the time and wish more places like this existed. We are not a fan of big chain hotels at all. This is a perfect example of what a motel/hotel should be! It was clean, simple and modern. We loved the smart tv too! Will absolutely stay here if we are ever in the area again!
