Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just minutes on foot from iconic venues like Severance Hall and within easy reach of downtown Cleveland's live music scene. After a late show, return to a quiet, comfortable room with soundproofing and blackout curtains. The 24-hour front desk and late 12:00 PM checkout make it easy to ease into the next day. Plus, there’s reliable WiFi to share your setlist highlights and a convenient on-site bar to keep the night going just a little longer.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want space to spread out and pre-game in-suite
• Solo travelers chasing that must-see tour date
• Couples looking for a stylish, low-stress weekend escape
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space with less downtown noise
• Budget-conscious music fans who appreciate value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s not a full-service restaurant, the hotel offers a daily buffet or American breakfast—ideal after a late night out. Each suite includes a fridge and kitchenette for DIY bites, and there’s a grill area for laid-back cookouts. The on-site bar is a chill spot to unwind, and you’re just a short walk or rideshare from plenty of late-night eats in University Circle and Little Italy.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself keeps things quiet, you’re near energetic spots like the Happy Dog, Jolly Scholar, and Downtown’s East 4th Street—just a quick Uber away. Prefer something more relaxed? Grab a drink at the hotel’s shared lounge or enjoy a local craft beer nearby.
