The hotel offers an overall great value with early access to the park and discounted tickets. The rooms are comfortable with basic room amenities. The pool area was quant and well kept, great option for families with younger kids. The location is good, quiet, and is close to restaurants and grocery stores. Would stay here again.

We had a great stay at Cedar Point Express Hotel! The free parking was convenient, the staff was welcoming and friendly, and having vending machines and ice available on every floor made everything easy. The amenities were well-maintained and easily accessible. One of my favorite touches was the iconic roller coaster photos in the room they made it feel like we were already at Cedar Point. Plus, it’s only a five-minute drive to the park, making it the perfect place to stay for a Cedar Point getaway.

Great location for the people going to Cedar point.
Down side, no restaurant on premises, no breakfast, food needs to come from couple restaurants and fast food chains really close, one or 2 blocks.
Clean room, TV guide needs to be updated.
Great staff. Free big parking lot.

Considered other area hotels and decided to use the CP hotel for the early park entry. The desk staff was exceptionally knowledgeable and helped us make many decision to plan our days. They consistently impressed me. The hotel is fairly standard. Kids liked the pool with late hours. The rooms were quiet. No breakfast, but McDonalds is walkable. 👍

Great location, front desk and store staff were friendly and helpful. Housekeeping staff were not friendly and noisy in the halls. There were several sports teams there whose parents let the kids run amok in the halls at all hours and left the courtyard area a mess with trash and towels. I felt bad for staff that had to clean up after them. I feel like staff could have stepped in to keep the kids from disturbing the entire hotel.

The only good thing about this hotel is it's close proximity to cedar point. Now for the not so good part, the cleanliness of the room, we found Bobby pins on the floor of the bathroom which meant it had not been swept or mopped. We found hair all over the bath tub which means it had not been cleaned. The bathroom exhaust fan did not work, which made the room always humid, especially after showers. The room smelled very musty, probably because of the exhaust fan. The curtain over the air conditioner looked like it had mold on it, probably because the room had poor ventilation. Also the room furniture was very worn and outdated. We will not be staying here again.

Pool filter didn't work. The pool was gross! Filled with bugs, debris and swirling sunscreen and dead skin cells. This was addressed with the manager and she said she couldn't do anything but tell the aquatics department. The \"Aquatics\" department was a joke. It was a girl who didn't care about her job and was in no hurry to do anything productive. The way they addressed my concerns were walking around the pool with a net. I own a pool so I know how to run a filter pump system and the system was not working, there was no filter in the pump, the pump wasn't even on and moving water. The rest of the hotel was haft butt cleaned and maintained. Just sad.

My poor review is based off a sleepless night at our room. Room 1159 has the ice machine literally right outside of the door. People would be filling up ice throughout the night and very frequently at 6:00am and on.

Can't recall a hotel that doesn't have its own dedicated area for vending and ice but at the prices if these rooms, I'd expect better floor planning.

The kid at the front desk, probably still in high school had no idea on how to help.

I'm sure other rooms have better experiences but if you're unlucky enough to be assigned to this room, be prepared.

There were no fitted sheets on our two queen beds. We arrived late and were too tired to do anything about it. The remote for the tv didn’t work. I reported that and they sent up two replacement remotes, which neither of them worked. Next day, after a full day at the park we came home to our cleaned room. STILL NO FITTED SHEETS ON THE BEDS! I complained about that and the two non working remotes. They brought up sheets, but we had to make the beds. Finally they brought a new remote with extra batteries. That finally worked. The hotel gives you a coupon for one hour early entry to the park. Only problem is that the MAJORITY of the roller coasters don’t operate until normal opening time at 10! Walked all around the park and couldn’t ride anything we wanted! Useless perk. Ended up starting a line to our fav roller coaster and just stayed there until it opened, talking with other people about how useless early entry was! Also, they sell no alcohol at this hotel. Had to walk across the parking lot to another hotel just to get a couple beers. Won’t be staying here again.

No housekeeping came the second day of our three day stay. Lovely layer of very visible dust on the cover of the room ice bin. Gross. The courtyard pool area seems nice. We only saw it in the dark and used it for one night. However. It's a kiddie pool. It's only 42\" deep on the deep end. We didn't pay a lot comparatively for the area but...I thought we paid enough to get housekeeping.... is that a new thing in this day and age... pay extra for housekeeping?! We weren't aware! We will stay elsewhere next time.

The room was clean although a little outdated. The in-wall air conditioner had only 2 speeds: low and high. No automatic.

The air conditioner did work and the room’s temperature was fine but one has to deal with the fan that won’t shut off. The hotel is very convenient to the park and for one night, it was perfect.

The accessible room was spacious and convenient. New towels came every day which was a treat and great with 4 of us staying there the towel situation can be hard to dry. The beds were comfortable.
The accessible bathroom should have had a taller toilet. The big disappointment was the outside pool area. The seagulls perched all around and calling was like being in a scary bird movie. There were bird droppings everywhere - especially bad to see it in the pool. We did not get in the water or come back our other two nights. They need to put deterrents on the pinnacle of the roof like they have on the parking lot lights. We will go for an indoor pool when near a large body of water again!

Hands down one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I will make sure my family never stays at this property ever again. The customer service was horrible, we had a whole bathing suit mysteriously disappear from the shower while our room was being refreshed that the manager said they couldn’t do anything about, the rooms were gross and our bathroom door wouldn’t shut because the tile was bubbled up so the door couldn’t pass it, the location is in between food and the park so you have to drive one direction for breakfast then turn around and drive back to where you started to get to the park. Definitely look for a better choice if you are planning a trip to cedar point.

Not a bad place, it was very basic. AC system a bit muggy. I probably wouldn’t stay here again. The Breakers is well worth the extra money to be connected to the park. It all depends on your budget. But keep in mind you will pay for parking $45 per day to drive to the park. If you book direct with the hotel breakers you can get park tickets for $29 and get early entry into the park. And no fee for parking. I should have done the math better when I booked this trip.

We always stay here when visiting Cedar Point, which we do several times a summer. Helpful tips:

-There are a lot of kids here, the hotel caters to families. Keep that in mind if kids annoy you.

-There is no free coffee or breakfast, but you can buy stuff in the lobby gift shop or go to McDonald’s across the street.

-The hotel is now cashless so they won’t be able to make change for you at the front desk if you want to leave a tip for housekeeping, for example.

Overall, it’s well maintained, about the same quality as, say, a Holiday Inn and very convenient to both the park and a few local restaurants.

Also the store was supposed to be open at 8am on Tuesday and was not.
