"This property was clean, and somewhat renovated. Our window did NOT lock, they were broken off. The door to our room was missing the extra lock. Overall though it was clean, had a nice size refrigerator (even though we didn’t need it), and the pillows were nice. There was plenty of parking. The air conditioning was ok, not as cold as I would’ve liked, but that’s just personal preference. Others in the room thought it was cold enough for them. When we checked in around 11pm the gentleman at the front desk was nice and welcoming, and he joked with us about being early since we had just left cedar point!"
