The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express & Suites - Madison by IHG

Easy Comfort Near Northeast Ohio’s Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, Holiday Inn Express & Suites - Madison is a convenient 3-star choice for concert-goers exploring the Northeast Ohio area. Located just off I-90 in Madison, this hotel offers a laid-back atmosphere with everything you need for a short stay: clean, well-equipped rooms, an indoor pool, and free parking.
Perfect for anyone headed to shows around Lake County or beyond, it’s a smart base where comfort meets simplicity.

Why Concert-goers love it

With quick highway access and a 24-hour front desk, late-night arrivals after a show are no problem here. The hotel is a short drive from several popular Northeast Ohio music venues, and the quiet Madison location means you’ll enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep after the encore. Plus, with check-in starting at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, there’s enough flexibility for most concert schedules.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an easy, affordable base
  • Solo travelers ticking off their concert bucket list
  • Couples making a weekend of it near the Lake Erie coast
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space away from the city
  • Budget-conscious music fans needing comfort without splurging

Food and Drink Options

Start your morning with the complimentary buffet breakfast—especially welcome after a late night out. While there’s no full-service restaurant on site, rooms come with a mini-fridge and coffee machine, and several casual dining options are a short drive away. Madison’s local diners and pizza spots also deliver, keeping it easy for guests craving something quick.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is low-key, you’ll find local bars and breweries within a short drive—perfect for a pre-show drink or post-concert wind-down. The lobby lounge area is a quiet place to regroup with friends before heading out.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms and the friendly service at the front desk. Many reviewers highlight the reliable breakfast and the easy access to the highway, which makes getting to and from venues a breeze. The indoor pool and gym are also appreciated extras for longer stays.

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel is comfortable, it’s not walkable to nightlife or concert venues—you’ll need to drive or ride-share. A few guests mention the lack of nearby late-night food options, so planning ahead for post-show snacks is a good idea.

The Bottom Line

Holiday Inn Express & Suites - Madison is a quiet, affordable, and convenient choice for concert-goers who want a restful night after the show.

Superb

Liked: Breakfast was very good. Many choices, hot and cold. Coffee was great. They have a machine that grinds it first so it's always fresh.They have a very nice patio with a heated gas fireplace.
Disliked: The only thing that was a negative, was you could here the traffic somewhat from the interstate. It didn't really bother us much, though. It was pretty easy to zone out.
