Explorer Rest & Recreation

This place is awesome. I almost don't want to let others in on this secret. We had a soccer tournament and our team stayed here for two nights. It was SO close to the sports force park and Cedar Point. The rooms are super cute and the beds are comfy. The back yard area was a perfect hangout spot with plenty of room to let the kids run around and the adults to sit around the fire. The owners are responsive and friendly. I don't typically take time to leave reviews, but this was such a gem.

This new take on the traditional motor inn is excellent, simple and exactly what traveler of any age, socioeconomic status and reason for traveling needs. Inspired by the era when families and salesmen used federal highways to travel, it uses vintage inspired accessories like a mini-fridge, alarm clock, mid century modern accent chairs to add flair. They invest in what everyone truly wants the most in a hotel/motel-a superir bed/mattress, luxurious soft crisp linens, a strong full showerhead, ability to darken the room and control the temperature. Instead of taking up space w an ironing board and iron- there's a steamer for clothes. There's a lobby w ice, snacks and other needs. Check in and room assignment, lock code are all done one line. There is a food truck right on property to satisfy your hunger, no need to get in your car. They also have Cornhole and outdoor seating for guests. And I saved the best for last, this 5 star lodging is also one of the most affordable places to stay in the area! We wanted to stay two nights but they were sold out for the second so we only got one night and LOVED IT!!

The beds and bedding is very comfortable. The air conditioning kept the room at exactly the temp we needed. The rooms and lobby area were spotless. Ice machine in lobby worked great. The food truck is legit! True hand cut fries and garlic aioli is delicious! I think they could perhaps open a little earlier than 10am for breakfast as we were trying to get to Cedar Point by 10 so we missed their breakfast sandwiches. Our group had 3 rooms and all were perfect for what we needed. We used the covered outdoor seating area out front in the evenings. We would definitely recommend.
