Explorer Rest & Recreation

Very nice boutique motel with a perfect location to Cedar Point area and events. Clean, pleasantly decorated minimalist style. Very comfortable beds. Contactless check-in and check-out.

Motel room was great. Everything was brand new and clean. Comfortable bed, quiet, and had everything we needed. Also super affordable! It was cold when we got into the room. Cranked up the heat, went to dinner and it was perfect when we got back. Another thing was that the shower was super cold. So, I did take a cold shower but all in all would love to stay here again.

I really liked the renovations done to the property. The room was well designed and layed out with mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker in its own area. The bathroom was small but with a nice shower. The bed was very comfortable. I liked being able to check into my room with a code through an app. A few things that were not the best: the bathroom sink is a raised bowl on a small shelf. When I washed my face, water went on the counter and floor. The edge to the shower floor isn’t very tall so water got on the floor when I took a shower. The shade for the window is nice but doesn’t completely block out light - shines through the edges around the shade. A train did come through the area a few times that night. Minor issues aside, I enjoyed my stay. The price was very reasonable and I would stay there again.

The area around the motel is very quiet and rural. I like the way it all looks, but the queen bed in the second room was so hard and uncomfortable it was close to laying on the floor. But that is the only complaint I have.

We thought we would give this fresh new place a shot and we loved it. It was super clean and all new and affordable! Check in was a little confusing at first (didn’t get email) but it was handled with ease once we called the number provided. Everything was super cute and we would totally stay again. One benefit would be a softer mattress but that’s just a preference. This made our cedar point trip complete!

Loved the room! It was brand new, but the edges of the bed were extremely sharp, and there was no railing for the ladder. Otherwise we loved it, oh maybe a table pull down or something would be nice.

The location was convenient to everything we needed and the property was clean, quiet, and safe. The bunk beds with the extra day bed offered a different, fun layout that our family enjoyed. The owners were very responsive. We would absolutely plan on staying here again in the future.

I was hesitant about my excitement finding this hotel online because when I drove up the outside looked like an older motel style establishment with some new paint. Once I opened the door, I was pleasantly surprised. It looked and smelled brand new. The family room was great for me and my 3 boys and it was very close to Cedar Point, literally right around the corner from the entrance. I’m not sure if there are any staff actually on site because our room and the common room at the hotel were all accessible by a code that I was emailed earlier in the day. There was no physical check in and a sign in the room said no need to check out either. That wasn’t an issue because we had everything that we needed in the room… plush bath towels, mini fridge, microwave, coffee and tea maker, steamer for clothes and travel size lotion/shampoo/conditioner/soap. The beds were very confortable. My youngest son said it felt like his bed at home and I agree. The pleated blinds did a good job of keeping it dark in the room as the parking lot is right outside the window. There is a train close that I heard a couple times in the middle of the night but otherwise it was pretty quiet. I will definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends.

Great stay. Impeccably clean. Modern vintage Route 66 motel feel. No need to check in, they send you door code. Looks like they are building fire pits out back. Would be cool to site outside and enjoy. Definitely will be back on next trip to Cedar Point!
