Location is great and everything looked very nice and clean. The beds were terribly uncomfortable and the AC in the room barely cooled it off enough to sleep. Half of the slides in the waterpark were closed for chunks of the day. After everything 2/5 stars from me. Wasn't very impressed for the price.

When checking in I asked if we could buy the Cedar Point passes with the hotel discount but was told NO because we booked with expedia so we were not eligible. The hotel room looked like someone had already been in it as there was no soap and the toilet paper was half used, when making the pull out couch the blanket in the room was very dirty, like a full face of make up was wiped on it and folded up. When the staff member came to replace the blanket he did not even want to touch the dirty blanket to take it out of the room. The floors in the room were very sticky and had a sauce package wrapper on it when we got to the room. Our room ended up being full of ants so we were moved to a different room, when we got to this new room, it also looked like a broom or mop has never touched the floors. I had to pick up a squished grape and some crumbs. Disappointed with how dirty this hotel was.

Our room was missing soap when we checked in and room service never came to our room during the entire stay. The booking listing said there was a sofa bed but it was a chair. I asked the guy at the front desk if their was a mixup and he said that the rooms with the sofa were all taken. It was a nice hotel with a great waterpark but not having a sofa bed and lack of room service kinda ruined it.

The rooms were clean and the hotel was very nice. We really enjoyed the waterpark, especially the waterslides and the wave pool. My husband, I would definitely suggest there being more than one to hook in the bathroom and a softer bed would be nice. It would also be nice if everything didn’t cost a fortune at the hotel. We found ourselves ordering food for delivery or driving somewhere. The activities they offered for the kids were enjoyable. Our grandkids had a blast, which is what was most important.

The room was clean. The AC fan does not have a constant function unless fan only. Walls are paper thin so if you are a light sleeper bring a fan or sound machine. Waterpark closed ridiculously early at 8pm. There are no other pools or hot tubs on property to use aside from waterpark. Other waterparks in the area are open later for way cheaper.

Do not stay on the fourth floor. The entire floor as well as the room smelled of mildew. The staff was kind enough to change our room to the north side of building. In our room the shower valve broke. Had to call maintenance to repair. The water park was very nice my kids enjoyed. Was supposed to get discounted tickets to Cedar point per promise on website but was told at the resort since we used Expedia I was not eligible for tickets costed me 327 dollars more than planned.

Pros: Enjoyed the indoor water park. Clean and well-staffed/monitored by lifeguards.
Rooms were clean and comfortable.
Front desk staff helpful.

Cons: Water park closes at 8:00 p.m.

No visible security personnel in the hotel.
Teens, talking loud and playing, ran up and down the second floor hallway well after midnight.

This place is great for family trips. Our kids (ages 9.5 & 7) were in heaven the moment we walked in the door. The whole facility was clean. The staff at the front desk were nice & helpful. The rooms were pretty quiet, clean & loved how they fit the theme. The waterpark was nice. We went on a weekday and it was not packed at all. There was not an overwhelming chlorine odor like we have experienced at other indoor waterparks. There were cute little daily activities for the kids which was nice. Our kids had a fun time with the little underwater projector. We had breakfast at the HighTide’s Cafe and the food was good.

The few negative thing about the stay was the fact that there were multiple slides, one of the activity pools (the only pool my kids were looking forward to playing in) & the hot tub were closed the day we went to the waterpark. We also spent some time at the arcades and a few of the games were not working.

Overall or kids said it was the best trip ever and we would highly recommend it.

Water park was good. Hotel and room has a weird smell, I don’t believe the bed sheets had been washed. If your buying tickets to Cedar point look on their website first. As a guest at a cedar point resort they give discounts on tickets. I didn’t realize this till after I purchased tickets at lobby during check in. I would think this is something the hotel staff would know and let guests know. For a little more $ there’s better resorts on cedar point.

Walked into our room smelling like terrible mold. I had my 3 yr old grandson. No way was I staying in there. Manager tried telling me they are booked & she can move me to Express Hotel down the road and we’d have to go back n forth to the waterpark. The guy checking me in gave me the option of what room I wanted. There were plenty to choose from. I told her that. I shouldn’t be the one moved when I arrived at 4:00 and people would be checking in much later after attending Cedar Point. She finally moved us but never said sorry for the inconvenience or the very moldy room. She was very rude. The rest was very nice. My kids and grandson had a good time. All the activities for the kids at all hours of the day, were fun. The night dances were a lot of fun for kids and everyone around us enjoyed it. The breakfast buffet was GREAT!! So many options to choose from. We were very happy. Did not taste like hotel breakfast food, which we thought it would. For the price with 5 waterpark passes was awesome!!!!

The idea of a water park near Cedar Point as well as sports complex was great. The hotel itself was dirty and poorly maintained. Front desk offered to change stained bedding as well as mattress. Housekeeping brought us new bedding but didn't remake anything and mattress, crumbs and stains, remained. There was trash found all over. It was messy. We had to stay but it will be our last.

Check in went smoothly and the room was clean upon arrival. We were on the 1st floor near the waterpark so it was pretty ideal. My only complaint is that during the week the slides, water coaster and hot tub were closed. There was still a few things to do but the main attractions were closed so we chose to skip it the last couple of days during our stay. Being this close to Cedar Point with the option of an indoor waterpark for the rain days is super ideal.

The check in process was terrible, it took 4 hours to get checked in and into one room, they made us wait longer for our other room. Then the rooms smelled musty and like sewer. The sheets had stains, and the beds are so hard it feels like you are sleeping in the floor. Feels like a motel rather than a hotel.

When I arrived at 415 I was told my room wasn’t ready but that I would receive a text when my room was ready. 630 rolls around and I go to the front desk to see what’s going on with our room and they ask me what time I got there and I tell them 415 and they told me that I was never put into the queue. But nonetheless, they took care of me, said they had a room for me right away, but they didn’t really offer me anything for the inconvenience.

The rooms were very well cleaned and so was the hotel. The waterpark was awesome and was very nice for my two small children. The only problem during my stay was check-in . When we arrived at 4pm for check in we were told our room was not ready yet and that we would receive a text when it was. They allowed us still to go into the waterpark just a little inconvenient after you pay all that money to stay. 2 hours later by 6pm we still didn't receive a text so I went to the front where they told me my room was ready.... Overall it was a fun time and my kids loved it though.

The staff was very friendly and attentive. We were treated very very well during our stay. There was a slight miscommunication during our experience at the waterpark, but the staff was very quick to redirect and resolve the issue with great service. This is definitely an autistic, friendly hotel. We had lots of space for sensory seeking. The restaurant famous Dave’s was also really nice. We were also given early access to Cedar point.

Water park on the small side. Check in needs to improve. Our room was not ready and then we never received the text when it was ready. Also, at check in the staff never collected the balance. When I checked out, I was told I was all set. We left, and I received a phone call about 10 minutes later asking me to come back because the balance was never collected at check in. Rooms were spacious, clean, and stocked with lots of towels. No soap or cups in the room.

The hotel was great, the amenities were amazing and there was always something going on for the kids.
The water park was great, very clean and had lots for different ages.

Only complaint is that the beds and pillows aren't the best. But the pros outweigh the cons.

We came here for a quick family getaway. Spent 2 nights and will never stay at this property again. Rooms were extremely small. Only 1 option for a king bed. No tissues, no conditioner for hair, no outdoor pool, half of the indoor waterpark activities were closed. No real option for food. Very disappointing and not how it looks online!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Everyone had a smile on their Face And a cheerful attitude. Our door lock was broken maintenance came and fixed it with a pleasant attitude no issues. Our check in was early and smooth. Housekeeping was very polite. The kitchen staff was very helpful and apologetic our eggs had shells in them ( side note) yes they use fresh eggs not box❤️. All the characters were so fun and playful. All the watersides were available at different times. We had an amazing time. Can’t wait to go back

The staff was amazing. The property... ooof... this place could be so much better, but it is just subpar. Rooms mediocre with dirty in crevices and exhaust fans. We had two conditioners and one shampoo in the shower (so no shower gel) in the bottles that attach to the walls. The AC was loud when cycling and also sounded like running water, so bring white noise. We were there for a baseball tournament at SportsForce and this is one of the hotels that was an option (because they often force teams to stay at local hotels and charge more money), but we booked late and thus through Expedia. The waterpark closes at 8pm and Famous Dave's attached to the \"resort\" was near empty (so many empty tables) but yet also inundated with large parties waiting on food. That staff was also lovely, but it was Friday evening at a restaurant ATTACHED to the resort. The wait staff did inform us that the owners don't pay tip outs until TWO WEEKS later... no wonder no one wants to work there. The owners of this place (so I guess Six Flags or Cedar Point?) clearly only care about making a buck. They don't care about their amazing staff or guests. Waterpark was clean enough, with towels avail and you could bring in drinks or food. We waited for the sundeck to open on Sat from 10am until we had to leave to get ready for a game at 12:30, apparently the hot tub wasn't up to temp so no one was allowed out there. By the time we got back in late afternoon, the building blocked all the sun. Par for the course.

Cures resort. The added benefit of getting early access to cedar point was huge. I wish it would have had a pool open past 8pm though. The water park closed at 8 and having a nice lounging pool would have been nice after spending the day at the park. The room was fine. Comfy and convenient..our table was broken and saw some wear in places. Would have liked to have had a coffee maker in the room. Food was kinda pricy in the resort but overall a nice place.

The check in process was fine, but I felt like we were left with questions about where things were and when they would be open.

The rooms had paper thin walls and hallways were noisy well after midnight. The beds were uncomfortable and pillows were as flat as pancakes. There was no lotion or cups in the bathroom. We also had a backed up tub drain that took about 45 minutes for someone to come fix.

The water park hours were pretty limited, especially considering I have an early bird kiddo.

There is one place to fill water bottles and it's inside the water park, so good luck finding water before it opens or after it closes.

Overall, we were underwhelmed with this property in comparison to other similar places.

Check in took a while as there was only one person working. The room door was ajar when we got to it but the room was clean and fully stocked with towels and toiletry items.The only thing missing was sheets and blankets for the pull out twin mattress. There was a beautiful sunset to view from the resort. The food there was good and my granddaughter (4yrs) really had fun at the water park. It offered a good mix of age appropriate stuff. The bigger slides were shut down when we first got there but opened up later. The hot tub was very relaxing.and there were plenty of arcade games to play. The games all looked in working condition. Overall it was a good value !

Water park hours were not good. Didn’t open until 10 and closed at 8pm. Rooms were never serviced and we were there 4 nights. Had to ask multiple times for clean towels. Room trash was overflowing. Water park was short staffed on the weekend and multiple attractions were closed. Hotel cafe had one person working. Waited 20 minutes for a premade breakfast sandwich.

Loved the welcoming atmosphere, beautiful hotel, clean waterpark, location , and kind staff. Only issue i encountered was housekeeping, I was not informed we had to request housekeeping and when you do, must tell them what to clean. I called and informed them to make beds, sweep floors, and replace towels: we get back from Cedar Point and all the dirty towels are still on bathroom floor. Please update housekeeping guidelines.

The water park is decent. There’s a lot of scum build up around the edges of the pool. There were used bandaids in the wave pool, and the staff wouldn’t remove them. We offered to scoop them out but they ignored us. Soon after a disabled child was putting them in his mouth. Staff doesn’t allow goggles with a nose piece in the water park, citing “the suction from the nose piece causes problems with breathing”. Two of the bigger pools were closed when we were there. Overall it’s ok, just wish we had known some things before booking.

It was a good stay but be aware everything was nickel and dimed. Breakfast is like a normal hotel breakfast but will cost you 10-15 per person. Laundry is not included and expensive. Basic things should be included with how expensive the room rates are. The wristbands to the waterpark are included but make sure you put the correct number of people on your reservation otherwise you won’t get all the wristbands you will need. Overall clean and people were friendly.

Our check in staff was great and worked hard to help us add our park tickets to our purchase. However, the morning staff said we had to check out of our room because Cheap Tickets did not get all of our nights out together in the same room. When I pressed them on why they told me it was the same room the night before they acted as though they couldn’t do anything about it because that room type was all sold out. So I spent the hour I planned on getting ready for our day repacking and repacking the car. I was told to speak with the a manager later in the day. I called and asked for the manager who then told me that he could get a room ready for us any earlier or basically help us. A few hours later I received a call that our room was ready. We just rechecked in and are literally in the room next door! All that work for nothing!

Nice location hotel. Pretty clean. Nice rooms. We couldn’t get our TV to work, called front desk but no one ever showed up. Could use a coffee pot in the rooms, as the coffee shop doesn’t open early.
The water park needs to stay open until at least 10pm and open at 8am so you could swim before you have to be out of room.
