| - I am rating this hotel three stars, but for the price I paid ($40/night on Priceline), it really deserves four stars for the value. It is 10-15 minutes from the Cleveland Airport, near an ice skating rink and a shopping center (I noticed a Dillards and a Target), yet near some picturesque wooded hills that we would have explored if we had time. There are picnic tables perfect for families too.
The decor was tasteful (see the photos we posted), the gym was well equipped and empty, the pool was big and the staff was mostly helpful (changed our room to a king when we were assigned two double beds by Priceline, gave us apples and juice for free, offered helpful info to other guests).
On the downside, some of the locals who frequent the bar are obnoxious, our bathtub drain was clogged and we thought the maid would notice it when she cleaned the tub and would fix the problem, but she didn't, raising the question of whether she bothered to clean the tub (and other areas???) at all! The toiletries are stored on a shelf above the toilet and I accidentally knocked them into the toilet several times. Also, we noticed a sewer smell outside one of the days we stayed there.
My husband and I disagree on the following:
He liked the sampler platter at the bar, and I didn't like the bar food. I thought the bed was comfy, but he found it lumpy.
Overall, this hotel isn't perfect, but it is a great value, on par with a Courtyard Marriott. I would definitely stay here again, especially at the price.
