Cedar Point's Hotel Breakers

8/10 Good

"I have stayed here many times. I love the convenience of going to the park and walking (actually rolling back in wheelchair ) for a break. For the most part the room was good, but for the price they charge you should at least have toilet paper. I called down twice saying there's was none in bathroom. Never did get any. Good thing there was Kleenex. They're was also a lot of ants in waste basket. I to didn't notice that till leaving."
