We had an excellent 5 day stay at the Schofield. Our room was extremely clean, comfortable and spacious. I tend to be somewhat of a "bedding" snob and found the comfort and quality of the mattress, sheets, comforter and pillows to be excellent! I was impressed by the friendliness of the staff from the valets and cleaning crew to the front desk. The hotel was exceptional in every area. The Schofield's first seven floors have hotel rooms and suites, with the upper seven floors housing private apartments. We almost stayed at the Autograph across the street and it was quite evident that we made the right decision. The Autograph may be the "happening" place but the Kimpton Schofield is more refined and upscale.
I really appreciate the history behind the Kimpton Schofield as well. It was designed by Levi Schofield, one of Cleveland's most important architects, who was also responsible for the much revered and respected Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument on Public Square. In the 1960s, the building was refaced to give it a more modern look, covering the ornamented terracotta architectural details with a steel facing. This renovation was scorned by both local and national architectural critics. The Kimpton Hotel & Restaurant Group oversaw a $50 Million project to restore the exterior of a Cleveland landmark to its original early-20th Century appearance.
Definitely the place to stay in the City - and yes, because it is bustling metropolis, there will be city noise and sounds!!
