Summary: Room was clean and pleasant, only thing was room was a little cold when we got in, which wasn’t a big deal cause the heaters were easy to use and heat the place up, other than that it was great

Summary: The room was clean and comfortable. We were staying just one night so I wasn't looking for anything special. I would recommend staying and we will use the Explorer again. If I had to find one thing to improve, it would be the bathroom sink. It's a little on the miniature side!

Summary: The staff were so friendly and kind! Parking was easy, right in front of the room. Very close drive to Cedar Point. Comfortable beds and the room was very clean. The rooms are updated and have what you need -- coffee maker, fridge, microwave. Shared walls means you hear your neighbors if they are being loud, but no more than if you were staying at any other hotel. Overall, a really nice and comfortable stay.

Summary: Huge room. Close to cedar point and Lake Erie

Summary: The room was nice and clean, overall a good stay. Some minor details that could make the property superb… there was a LOT of bleed through noise from the other rooms. Other guests kept arriving late and the blinds weren’t effective at keeping the lights from disrupting our sleep. The bed was very much on the low side, which could be difficult for some people to get in or out of. My husband has rheumatoid arthritis and did struggle a bit getting in and out. Additionally, the bathroom door is oddly small…again my husband blasted his elbows at least three times going in and out (and he’s just an average sized man). Finally, parking is a bit inadequate, and a bit cramped. All in all, an above average stay in a clean well maintained environment. But just because the competition is a 4, it doesn’t make Explorer a 9.

Summary: I'll start by saying the staff was extremely friendly and
