We stayed 2 nights, room was clean, everything in its place, no stains on beds or floor anywhere. Staff was helpful and courteous. When I checked in my total price was less than what I was quoted when I made the reservations. We had a good experience here, sorry to those who didn't. More

Perfect location for visiting Cedar Point. Stains on duvet, no soap/shampoo in room. Clean sheets, clean towels, hot shower, decent breakfast, and next to railroad tracks. Hey, for $50 that's whatcha get. More

I found nothing but great reviews for hojo's and when my family and I got to the hotel it was a disaster. We were exhausted from our day at Cedar Point, so we wanted to just get in and sleep and get out in the morning. The short time we were there the room was nasty, the floor was dirty,... More

That's what the sign out front said. Not quite. The rate that I paid was a discounted employee rate and was just under $100 not low enough for the room I got. Not a very clean room. The bed, shower, toilet, and bathroom vanity were clean. The carpets had not been vacuumed and the bathroom floor had not been swept... More

Location was convenient to Cedar Point but no shuttle, good selection of food nearby but properties next door are abandoned, creating a feeling that the area is unsafe. Staff was excellent, but the continental breakfast was very poor and when it ran low, staff said, "that's it" Even though this is a budget motel, it is not worth it, spend... More

A very basic motel, reminded me of the places we stayed at when I was a kid. Very convenient to Cedar Point, and met our goal, which was a cheap place to stay the night in between 2 long days at the parks. After a day of fun, we didn't need anything fancy, just basic accommodations, and this place was... More

I was with a large group, with 9 rooms. This is a motel, so all outside rooms. There is also a connecting hall from the pool side of the hotel to the "back". It's really dirty and creepy. Everything was just rough around the edges. Bathroom didn't appear that it could be clean...old tile...bad paint. All the rooms connect in... More

This was by far the most disgusting hotel I have ever stayed at. If it weren't for the fact that it was booked and paid for by a family member I would have demanded my money back and left. Let me start by saying we weren't expecting a great room, just somewhere decent to sleep and shower before and after... More

This was by far the most disgusting "hotel" I've ever stayed in. It doesn't even qualify as a hotel, its a motel. When my daughter and I first got to the room, it looked as though someone had gone on a rampage and ripped all the fixtures off the wall. When someone "repaired" it all, they slapped some spackel over... More

Let me start by saying we should have asked for another room. However, the room was only $45 before tax. Parking was very convenient. Location amazingly convenient (we went to Cedar Point.) The bed was ok and free internet was available. The woman at the desk when we checked in was VERY nice and pleasant but the woman that was... More
