We loved the breakfast every morning. We also loved the coffee that was available 24/7. The staff was very nice, I enjoyed talking to them throughout the week. We didn't realize how close this hotel was to Cedar Point and we were thrilled to be able to come back to the hotel when it was raining at the park. The kids would swim for an hour or so and then we went back to the park.
We loved it and we're hoping to come back.

I loved the fact that they give you free ice cream every night and that breakfast was extended til 11 (although we were too tired to even get up in time even with the extension 😢) and they offer free bowling (though we didn’t get to use it) the housekeeping staff was extremely polite. Super close to Cedar Point and everything else. Overall a great experience.
I picked this hotel because I read they had an EV charging station. But I guess it wouldn’t fit the kind of car I had?

Price and distance to the sports Center and breakfast was a good variety of food also.
USB ports were broken in 1 room under the television and also had a bug of some sort on the bed in the same room. Also the fact that people didn't dry off very well after the pool going to the elevator to the point where there was puddles all over in front of the elevators and in the elevators.

Close proximity to cedar point
The staff was very unprofessional. While eating breakfast I could hear employees talking about their personal life and using profanity. There were several families with small children within earshot. The walls were damaged on the 3rd floor just outside the elevator in the hallway. Wallpaper peeling and significant cosmetic damage to the drywall. It looked like it had been there for some time and the issue not addressed. It didn’t look like clean or presentable by any means. Tub drained super slow, standing water in tub while taking a quick shower.

Outside of property was clean with plenty of free parking. Room was clean. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Pool was good, a bit on the small side and there isn't a separate jacuzzi with hot water which would have been nice. Free breakfast was very good. Food was hot and delicious. Staff was very welcoming, warm and friendly. Would definitely stay here again.

complimentary bar area, boutique style room, cozy and intimate For my birthday, we headed up to Cedar Point for Media day of TT2, and were incredibly surprised to be given a room at the cedar stables boutique hotel when we checked in at the holiday inn desk. incredible room, one of the most memorable birthdays of my life. Can't wait to get back again although I am not sure any experience could compare to what we experienced April 25th!

I liked that it was clean and very close to cedar point.
The morning staff for the breakfast was very rude. I simply asked for bacon very nicely cuz I could see that there was very busy. She looked at me and completely ignored me. She finally brought it out and I said thank you very much and she didn't say nothing she just looked at me. I just think it's very unnecessary to be like that. I do work in the hospitality business as a banquet manager. And if you can't have a smile on your face or just seem pleased a little bit then maybe this is not the job for you.

Very nice location and close to cedar point and very clean and everyone was friendly....
The breakfast buffet was good, but it was so crowded, not enough room for everyone to get what they wanted without bumping into someone, and the toaster was dumping the bread behind the machine 😔, but the lady trying to keep everything rolling did a phenomenal job 😃

The room was exactly what we asked for. Traveling as a family of six, we don't always get to stay in the same room. There was plenty of room with the two queen beds and sleeper sofa in a living room off of the bedrooms. Breakfast was delicious, and the pancake maker is always a win for the kids.
The pool was a little small and was busy when we arrived so didn't get to check it out.

Staff was very friendly and accommodated us by storing our luggage a few hours before check in. Then further helped us by getting into the room an hour early. Rooms were nice and clean! Beds VERY comfortable. Would definitely stay here again
