Room 114 was clean. The A/C worked efficiently. Used the fridge/freezer for the food I had brought along. Wi-Fi worked well; password required. Bathroom was clean but the paint was peeling. Older building that has had some renovations done.

I've stayed here before about 2 years ago and it was fine. The room was fine this time but the shower was gross so I didn't use it, used wet wipes that I had instead to clean up. Would have been nice to use the shower as I was at the races that day. Worst part was check in. I could not understand a single word the foreign speaking guy was trying to say through the thick panel of glass. Then he tried to keep my credit card. When I asked for it back he started making a copy of it and writing things down, like he was copying security code or something. He had already run my card it it was approved and I had a receipt so there was NO legitimate reason to be doing this. So I had to say really loud that I was not comfortable with it, then he wanted my driver's license again, and I repeated really loud I was not comfortable with this. Finally got my card back but now have to consider getting a new one.

The authentic mid century modern furniture and decor was enjoyable. The parking was easy. Room was clean enough with no bugs or anything. Save your receipt because they said they can't provide duplicates. Bedding was comfortable. In room coffee was fine. I thought it was expensive for what you get but this is considered in the Cedar Point area. Was the most affordable in the area. I found it restful.

Older but a fine place. Has a car port! One issue: there was no cold water! Hot came out of all faucets - sink and shower. Probably just this unit and I was only there to sleep, so didn’t get a chance to tell or ask anyone about it. Good price for a 15 min detour - half to a third the price of those off I80.

Not even a value for the cheap price.
Staying at a mom & pop motel, expectations aren't really high. Taking this into consideration, I'm willing to let a lot slide. This place was so dirty. Bedding and pillows were incredibly stained. So much so that I drove to Walmart and bought new sheets to use during my stay. Every inch of this place was dirty. We bought some cleaning supplies and scrubbed the bathroom floor and shower. I'm posting a before and after pic of the bathroom floor, as well as pics of blood spots on the pillows and mattress. We also cleaned the walls and door as they were covered in grime and other stains. Really gross. The property is also littered with broken microwaves, mattresses, and mini fridges. It looks like the set of Sanford and Son. I hate commenting on all of this because the staff was super pleasant.

It's cheap so keep your expectations in check
It was just a few of us bikers wanting a cheap place to stay. The facilities are old and we didn't care about that. The main problem I had was the cleanliness and the smell of our room. There was mold all over the bathroom ceiling and walls. The shower hadn't been cleaned in Lord knows how long. Cob webs and dead bugs. Unknown splatters of "liquid" on the walls. Everything in the kitchen was filthy including inside the fridge and stove. They didn't have enough towels but did get us more. Woman at front counter was very nice at least.

It was in the location I needed. But it was pricey for the condition. Like other reviewers, I found the cleanliness to be poor. Cigarette burns on the blankets. The fridge has ice and water in the door, but it didn't work. There was a one cup coffee maker and cups, but for having a full kitchen, they could have provided at least some utensils and paper plates. I. The shower there was some shampoo, but one envelope was opened. There was an apple I the fridge. The furniture was clearly old (like found on the roadside old) but the stove did work.

This motel was an excellent value. I need basic lodging for the night before the 4/8 eclipse, and it served that purpose well. This motel was not charging astronomical prices (unlike others in town) and I was satisfied with the experience Pluses - clean (but spartan) - room has microwave and refrigerator - pleasant staff (although my interaction was brief) - comfortable bed - neighborhood seems safe - OK to park my car on property for the afternoon after I checked out - plenty of towels Minuses - room needs significant paint touch up - heater / AC is noisy. It came on about every 15 minutes at a volume that made it nearly impossible to hear the TV at a normal volume. Made it difficult to fall asleep, although once I was asleep it did not wake me up. - door needs weatherstripping. You can see daylight around the door jamb. I suspect there might be a draft in winter, which would cause the heater to run frequently. - microwave needed to be cleaned. - BYO facial tissue

For an older property, it was very clean. The staff was very nice. Although it was a non-refundable property, we had no choice of going. we have a wedding that got canceled. It was a downer that we could not get refunded.
