Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the easy highway access to downtown Cleveland and venues like the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse and Blossom Music Center. After a late-night show, the quiet suburban setting is a welcome retreat. While there’s no late-night shuttle, the hotel’s location makes ride shares and taxis a breeze. Check-in starts at 4:00 PM, and although checkout is at 11:00 AM, the staff is known to be helpful with luggage storage if you're heading out to explore.

Breakfast is available on-site—perfect for those slower mornings after a late night.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, its proximity to downtown Cleveland means you’re never far from the action. You’ll find bars and lounges along the way downtown, and the hotel bar at Shula's offers a relaxed place to grab a drink before or after the show.
