Cedar Cove

Cedar Cove

8/10 Good
"The place was clean and the staff were friendly. Good enough for a ,well priced, place to lay your head after a long day at the amusement park. It has the feel of renovations done quickly by people not concerned with the details. I liked the solid surface flooring, no carpet. Beds were advertised queen size but were full size. Plenty of fresh towels and they changed them out during our day out. If you’re a light sleeper this or any places close to it are not for you. The train ran every 15/20 minutes both nights (Friday/Saturday). Pool is outdoors so it was closed (October stay) The continental breakfast was sparse but had the basics to fill your belly. They have a fresh pancakes machine which was kinda fun. Coffee had a decent flavor and was hot."
