The staff was super friendly, the check-in process was easy, and the breakfast was pretty good for a continental breakfast! Very convenient location to our plans at Cedar Point. The cleanliness of our room has room for improvement. Significant dust on the lamps, including a pair of glasses left over from a previous stay, that were not ours (showing the night stand is skipped over. The beds were made sloppy and some areas throughout room needed some additional attention. The pool definitely could use a good scrub around the water line.

Beds and pillows were amazing. Staff were all fantastic. Sat night gathering was a fun free bonus. Only complaint was the bathroom could have used a good clean as there was pink mold along the tub and gross grime all over the shampoo conditioner dispenser. 1 bed had a large stained comforter on the bed. But a quick call down and a new one was instantly brought up.

When we walked into this hotel it smelled like cigarette smoke, old, moldy. The rugs were dirty and there were all kinds of stains on our floor. We always choose Holiday Inn Express because of its high quality and cleanliness. I was very disappointed .

The hotel was nice and staff was amazing. Breakfast was good and there was a restaurant/bar right next door. It was a quiet hotel didn’t hear kids running everywhere even though it was a full hotel full of families. The only reason the cleanliness was lower on the ratings was the pool was filthy. There was a film of white/clear stuff, hair and bugs floating on the top of the water.
