Travelled to Cedar Point and Hotel Breakers last August from London, UK. We've always seen it on the internet but as it's not the easiest route, never considered it an option. After years of wondering, we eventually took the plunge and planned a trip there before flying down to Orlando. Honestly, we wish we had stayed longer!

It was already clear from the website and pics online that Hotel Breakers was the most convenient to the park and location was important to us. The fact that it opens onto the "beach" and the Lake is a bonus and of course it has a restaurant, bakery and ice cream store. The welcome was good (and the receptionist was so excited to hear a British accent...maybe not so many of us travel there!). We opted for a room in the main section of the hotel and first impressions were "it looks like it did on the internet, but bigger". It was old fashioned and in need of an up date, no doubt about it, BUT it does what it says on the tin. We had a view of Millenium Force which was good to wake up to. The room was spacious and there was plenty of storage space. The bathroom was fine, if not a bit grubby looking. All in all, as expected, with air con (much needed in August) and not at all disappointed. I don't understand people on here who are expecting something luxurious and then feel annoyed. Do your homework people! This is about location, convenience and good family fun!

The reception area is spacious and close by is the bakery/restaurant which are fine for a quick snack. TGI's is a stroll away and the service and food were both excellent. The pool areas are clean and perfectly positioned back from the "beach". Views are great, whether looking across the lake or back to the park.

And of course, most importantly for us, an hour of experiencing the park before the public (ie those not staying on site) was great. Cedar Point is up there with my favourite parks in the world. Such variety for everyone and 5 minutes from the hotel. I promised I wouldn't join the stampede of people running to Maverick when the rope dropped and let us into the park, but damn, I ran as fast as my legs and asthma would let me!!! Ha! The food in the park is not great, it's not cheap, it's not very good for you, but who cares! A day at Cedar Point and I think you must burn more calories than you intake!

So, we loved the whole experience so much, we are coming back this August (Hotel Breakers already booked!) and spending 4 days instead of 2 this time.

Hope this was helpful and I hope you enjoy as much as we did! If it's worth the journey from London, it must be worth it from anywhere in the US.

Enjoy!

We stayed at The Hotel Breakers the last week in May. I traveled with my husband, 5 year old son and 17 Month old daughter. We got a two room Lakeview suite. We got a great deal! We booked it by calling them back in February. We even switched from a non-Lakeview room to a lake view. If you can, I highly recommend visiting Cedar Point in May when it's extremely cheap and not crowded. Call to book, but then keep checking their website, sometimes they have specials.

The staff at the hotel was very friendly and accommodating. Housekeeping could've been better, but we complained and they took care of the issues right away. The room was also quiet. You didn't hear any noise in the hallway which was great. Every night Snoopy was in the lobby. The girls that were taking turns being in the Snoopy costume were so nice. My son loves Snoopy, so every night we would go to the lobby and hang out with Snoopy.

The hotel has great dining options as well. TGI Fridays, Tomo Hibachi, and Perkins. All GREAT! The hibachi restaurant was excellent. The food was out of this world! The staff at Perkins was so friendly and accommodating and the food was good. There is also an ice cream parlor in the hotel, also very good.

There were a few gift shops with everything you need. The staff in them were helpful and courteous. If you don't see something you want, just ask and they will look for you.

The pool was crowded. However, there are two big pools and only one was open. But it was very clean. Other then some obnoxious teenagers ruining it for the rest of the people, it was okay. The indoor pool was cold, but there were still people in there having a blast. They also have a few hot tubs that are spacious and nice.

Overall Cedar Point is a GREAT amusement park. You can't beat the location of Hotel Breakers either. If your going to go and especially if you're traveling with children, staying right there is a must. We were able to take a nice break in the afternoon with the kids, and it was only a very short walk. The hotel does get pricey in the summer, but I think it's worth it. We went in July, seven years ago and didn't mind paying the extra money for it. However, if you can't afford it, they do have an older section of the hotel called the Bon Air section. It is quite old, but inexpensive and you still get the location and dining.

well this hotel has not nice rooms but they are ok to stay in just at night you should probably spend your time at the park the beach is fun but the water is never warm the pool is ok but the lobby is great there is restaurants in the lobby

You can choose old or new depending on the building, wonderful experience, like steping back in time. The worst problem was poor internet service only available in the lobby. Best amusement park ever, clean, great rides, great service especialy for being maned by teenagers.
