The location was great, very close to town but a little outside the main area, plus there was a big open green space out back which my dogs loved. The room had everything we needed; nice mini fridge, microwave, TV, wifi, big shower, and good toiletries. Everything (bathroom, floors, walls, fridge, bedding) was *very* clean and the beds were super comfortable. The little "common" area had ice and vending machines, a seating area, and water refill station. The overall theme of the motel was very retro, and well done.

Pet friendly without any extra fees is top tier! The space behind the motel is fenced off and perfect for getting out of the room without needing to go to a local state park. Having the luxury of being able to pull into the lot and unlocking your room door without needing to talk to a front desk staff was exceptional for wanting to relax right after driving hours round get there. Having the luxury of a food truck out front made it very convenient to grab a bite to eat without needing to drive more.

The vibe of the room was so cute super. We had kids 6 and 13 with us and they actually preferred this room over the castaway bay room. We paid for the castaway bay room after reading castaway had awful reviews we last minute booked the Explorer Motel and we’re so happy we did. Went to castaway bay to swim and used the room to change and came back to The Explorer for clean, comfortable and safe stay. We will be staying again in the future.

It was the perfect place to stay for a getaway to Cedar Point. Only a short 3 miles from the park, this is one of the coziest little motels we’ve ever stayed in. The bed is so comfortable, like a cloud. I got amazing sleep. The staff was very helpful when we requested a few things. We have stayed at Breakers and Lighthouse Point in the past, but this was a quarter of the price of those places and we absolutely loved it!

This place was a 6 minute drive from Cedar Point, the main reason why we were in the area. It was a very basic room sufficient for our needs. It has a small fridge, coffee maker, and a microwave. The bathroom was clean and the bed was comfortable. Parking was easily available and there are a few eateries and a mini mart within 10 minutes of this place.
