Impressive and significant architecture and design and a good second choice hotel for a stay in Cleveland. The hotel is designed so that most of the rooms overlook a magnificent courtyard that it open to the public. On one side of the hotel the elevators are controlled by key cards but on the other side the elevators are generally open to the public but the hotel doors are controlled by key cards after 7 and there might b a security guard present . The room doors are made of heavy wood and the glass windows are covered by wooden shutters. It's cute , it's novel but if you're overly concerned about safety this may not b your place. The Rest. 1860 serves a good breakfast. I rate it 4 stars but for my experience at check in. The first room they assigned to me wreaked of stale cigarette smoke, the second room they gave me did not have a desk. Each time I went back to express concern I was told that they were fully booked and had no other availability. Yet each time they came up with an alternative room,one a bit better situated than the next . This led me to conclude that they were intent on proving first the least desirable rooms. Not a good practice.
