Why Concert-goers love it

You're close enough to hit a show downtown, without the hassle of staying in the heart of the city. Being just off the highway means easy late-night Uber or Lyft pickups, and the quieter suburban setting guarantees a peaceful night’s sleep after the encore. The 3:00 PM check-in gives you time to settle in before heading out, and an 11:00 AM check-out means you can sleep in a little after the show.

• Solo travelers road-tripping to see a legendary act
• Couples making a weekend escape out of it
• Fans hoping for a more restful retreat after the crowd
• Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to stay downtown

Food and Drink Options

There’s no bar here, but you can always bring your own beverages back to your room.

Nightlife Options

If you're looking to continue the party, downtown Cleveland is within easy reach for bars and clubs. For a more chill evening, there are local taverns and lounges within a few miles. While there’s no live music on-site, this hotel makes a great home base between venues and nights out.
