He helped us find some things to do locally during our stay and recommended some great restaurants. The room was so clean and decorated with a nautical theme, too cute for words. I can't say enough about the dock area. There is a tiki bar, tons of seating, fishing equipment and Florida-esque decor that will make you just want to stay on the property and not leave. Can't recommend this place

I understand the instructions from your CMO is to use nonsense corporate speak like "we strive to provide fun entertainment..." but I'm not sure what in the H you are responding to or why you'd write that statement. I said the food is insulting. Your response is everybody works hard so guests have fun. What a bizarre, uncanny reply! You charge $350 PLUS per night. Is that the price point for food you'd find in a strip mall in Parma? Like going to the Ritz Carlton and being forced to eat at Denny's.

Hotel Breakers - Waxing nostalgia turning to disappointing modernity…read more My wife and I have been visiting Hotel Breakers annually now for about ten years, vacationing with her parents, sister, and all of our kids. My wife and her family have been visiting since she was a child. For them the return visits continue to be largely motivated by memories and tradition. I have the benefit of a more objective look at the resort, but even they agree on the following points. Reservations / Check-In : My mother-in-law calls to reserve rooms the first available day they can be many months in advance. Every year she requests three adjoining rooms in the same location of the resort, even supplying specific room numbers as an example. Ever year the results vary. Sometimes we end up on different floors or the wrong area. One year one of the rooms wasn't reserved at all. This year we were in the requested area, two rooms adjoining and then one down the hall. I've never had anything close to this situation occur at any other resort and it continues to boggle my mind how this ask is never accomplished without incident. We were once told the reservation team was not part of the resort but either a fully siloed team off-property or maybe even a separate entity entirely. I am not sure if that is still the case but the process of reservations has been around a long time and is not as complicated as it seems to be made here. The front desk / check-in team has always seemed unprepared and without much empathy. The Pools / Splash Pad : The pools this most recent trip were the dirtiest we have ever experienced. An incredible amount of bugs and debris were in the water and the filters did not seem to be turned on our whole trip. When we asked a life guard / attendant at one of the pools she let us know it was "her first day" and was unsure of what to do. There are elements at the splash pad that I don't think have ever worked in the near-decade I have been visiting the resort. The liner of the pools is an extremely coarse material that I don't think has ever changed and I have never experienced anywhere else. The quality of maintenance and upkeep in the pool areas was summarized this trip by a food tray leaning against a trash can for the entirety of our weekend. The Rooms : Less egregious than the first two points, I don't believe I have noticed much of an upgrades to the rooms here in our years visiting. Furniture and walls displays wears and tears and everything feels clean...enough. Our patio set was pretty filthy this past visit and it was disappointing to have to clean it ourselves compared to the room rate. Speaking of room rate, the prices at this resort feel tough to justify based on the experience on the property. What you are paying for is proximity to Cedar Point and Shores, as well as the beach. The proximity is a great amenity (especially with kids) and we would find it hard to do the trip without it. Much like Cedar Point and Cedar Point Shores, everything appears to have taken a budget cut since the merger with Six Flags. I would love to see the Hotel Breakers put some emphasis on returning staff service levels to their former high levels, put money and effort into maintenance and upkeep, and justify the high room rates by offering more than just proximity to attractions. The Breakers is a historic and beautiful resort that deserves to meet the expectations of those who visit it.

Beautiful Home, But a Disturbing Lack of Professionalism and Communication…read more The home was beautifully decorated, and most rooms were clean and well maintained--except for the kitchen, which had standing dirty mop water in the sink upon arrival. The location was ideal and within walking distance to downtown, which we appreciated. Before check-in, I was told I would receive the door code by noon. Since we planned to arrive around the 4 PM check-in time, I wasn't concerned when it hadn't arrived by 2 PM. However, 30 minutes before arrival, we still hadn't received it. I reached out to Nick from Ohio Shores Vacation Rentals(through Airbnb) and finally received the code via email shortly after contacting him. Parking was another issue. The listing stated "street parking," but when we arrived, the only available street parking had clear "2-hour limit" signs. I asked Nick for clarification, and his only response was, "Street across from Shorehouse," which is exactly where we were. When I explained there were time restrictions, I received no further reply. We parked there anyway, hoping not to be ticketed. Once inside, we attempted to clear the sink by running the disposal, but it remained clogged and unusable. I contacted the agency around 4 PM on Thursday, and the woman who answered said someone would get back to me. No one did. I followed up via message on Friday--Nick read it and never replied. I messaged again Saturday morning with no response. By Sunday morning, I explained that because we were unable to use the kitchen, we had to throw out groceries and spend extra money dining out. Still no response. Finally, at 10:47 PM on Sunday--our last night--Nick replied: "Hi Jessica. We would have to call a plumber to the unit. It's a Sunday night, and you checked in during a holiday weekend. So it's not going to be fixed during your stay. I just assumed that you realized that when we were personally unable to correct it." At no point had anyone communicated that someone had been to the property. I was unaware of any attempted fixes and found his assumption dismissive. I let him know that I found the lack of communication unprofessional and told him his handling of the situation was unacceptable. In response, Nick became defensive and demanded that we vacate the property **immediately--at 11:45 PM--with our three children already asleep in bed.** He called my cell phone repeatedly and sent multiple messages telling me to leave. I had to contact Airbnb emergency services, who confirmed he could not evict us as the reservation was still active and paid through the next morning. I stayed up on the couch, scared and waiting in case law enforcement was called. On the morning of checkout, we followed standard courtesy by stripping beds and placing linens together. While doing so, I discovered a **heavily stained pillow** in the master bedroom and what appeared to be **blood stains** on the bottom bunk's mattress cover--both under clean sheets, clearly predating our stay. This experience was deeply disappointing and upsetting. The home itself was lovely, but the **unresponsiveness, disregard for our safety and comfort, and threats to forcibly evict us in the middle of the night** were shocking and unprofessional. We were unable to use the kitchen for the duration of our stay, had to throw away food, incurred unexpected dining expenses, and were left shaken by the late-night threats. I would **never rent from this company again** due to Nick's behavior and the total lack of accountability. To date, no compensation has been offered for the inconvenience, added expenses, or the distress caused to our family.
