Sawmill Creek by Cedar Point Resorts

Sawmill Creek by Cedar Point Resorts

8/10 Good
"Very updated, clean with helpful staff. We were on the main floor and we could hear everything out in the hall late at night, I. The rooms next to us and above us. Not sure if it was because the lounge area was so close or they just dont have sound proof rooms. Other than that, it was great"
