Maples Motel

"I don't know how the average review of this place is so high. I'll give it 2 stars rather than 1, because the guy there was friendly and helped with the temperature inside the room when we raised that concern. But the rooms really need a thorough re-modeling. There was no lock on the bathroom door, the sink looked like it was being kept up by a tent pole, there were holes in the sheets, and flies in the room. It took an hour to swat all of them. The outlets were also very hard to reach. I had to use my laptop as an extension cord for things like my phone. Many reviewers said they like the old fashioned feel of this place, and if you like it too, that's good! But if you ask me, the right word to use is outdated, not vintage. The Spenser House in Erie PA is a perfect example of a vintage, old-fashioned place which is beautiful, but it has updates needed to keep it comfortable in the 2020s. The Maples Motel, unfortunately, is outdated. Maybe it improved since my stay in June of 2022, but from what knowledge I have, I don't recommend this place."

"Rooms always smell fresh and clean. Great location far enough away from the traffic of Cedar Point next to a nature preserve and right by the back entrance of the park. Owner is very friendly and the rates are fair. There is a railroad crossing across the street and a loud train horn blows every 40 minutes or so. I heard they have earplugs but I enjoy the sound, especially the rumble of a train, doesn’t keep me awake. The pool is fresh and clean and cold. Donuts and coffee in the office in the morning if you’re up early enough. Always a nice stay."

"honestly there is sweet lotus esprit v8 in the lot sometimes. if you catch it in the corner of your eye while driving down U.S. 6, go turn around and check it out. one amazing view of a beautifully designed piece of art with a really cool owner to back it up. other than the car, place is very quiet and peaceful and a nice spot to stay at if you don't want to stay in the cedar point hotels."

"If you love family and you love america, then you will love this place, still family owned, passing through the generations. its got a perfect location, just outside the crazy busy-ness, but right next to it for convenience. great location for cp. there is a train that runs by frequently. they are never long and theyre usually pretty brief on the horn. if youre running the ac and exhausted from the park, you will never notice, we slept right through them:) if its cooler, just run the fan on the ac. everything is wonderfully vintage, and in great shape and kept very clean! beautiful pool for cooling off, and beautiful big trees make for a great landscape. the owner and his pup are wonderfully delightful. for such a great price and location, we have found our spot! wonderful doughnuts and coffee. family run businesses always get the best effort and the most love, and this is certainly one of those places! cant wait to visit again!"

"Very cool place with a lot of history! Steve was awesome and helped us out when we were in a pinch. This place should be the focal point of the town and is treasure that should be protected. It supported Cedar Point when the park was just starting. A throwback to simpler times when I use to travel with my mom and dad!"
