Its a Nay for me at this Stay!
I didnt really care for my stay at Stay Inn. For starters, I didnt like their cancellation and refund policy.I get that this is a independent motel, but when someone has to cancel a room by a week or later , it just sounds absurd to me. Most hotels give you at least a 24-48 hour notice. And they apparently don't have telephones in the rooms. Also , the lack of providing a breakfast in another downside. Breakfast is served all ear round and should be considered an amenity. The cleanliness and condition of the rooms was pleasant. And the entrance to getto the main doors is awkward . I wont be staying there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The lighting in the room was too dim, no coffee pot, tissues. The reservation said breakfast was included but there was none. They don't serve breakfast when there aren't enough customers. They is a poor excuse because they could at least provide coffee, cereal, breakfast bars or something that doesn't spoil.

They were so friendly and they even let us check in early since we were going to Cedar Point. The room was very clean. Nice white bedding, clean towels soaps. It is not fancy, but way nicer that you might expect for the lower price. The property out side was well maintained. Good lighting in the parking lot and it was an easy drive from there to the park. Deffinately plan to stay here again next year.

Time to clean
My wife and I stay here a few time's a year and we were very disappointed this time due to the dirty floors (carpet) the broken sink faucet handle and noisy neighbors. The next morning we went to get coffee and the cafe was closed. I wouldn't complain but the room didn't even have a coffee maker. Hopefully it's better on our next visit.

It’s a small place but clean and there is no tobacco smells on the inside. You have to ask for extra towels and to but they are more than willing to accommodate when you do ask.
