I think this airport is better for a connection vs. a destination airport. The number of restaurants and shops are good for passing a couple hours. I had a few issues with check in and security on the 2 times i had to use the airport as a destination. It's not too big when you have to connect from one gate to another and with a 1-2 hour layover, you can grab a good bit and drink. I don't mind coming through CLE for a connection to the north east.
