Those issues have to do with the censored, NON-wifi internet and emotionless staff.\n\nThe hotel is geared for long-term (i.e. extended) stay traveler/guests. You have to pay by the week and not by the day. They charge a very reasonable weekly rate (b'tween $219-$269) depending on the time of year and room type (3 types). I stayed in the low end studio.\n\nThe rates are only for the room. Even though they have stoves and are extended stay, and unlike say their competitor ExtendedStay America, they don't have cooking pans, dishes, drinking items or utensils. You can get them for a one time payment of $30. That comes with 2 glasses, utensils, dishes and a frying pan and sauce pan (with cleaning towels). You also must pay extra for 'unlimited' clean towels and linens. What that means is, since the hotel only supplies your room with 2 bath towels, 2 wash clothes (also a bath mat) and bed linens, once you use them, you can switch out at cost (forgot that cost). But if pay $10 per week, you can switch multiple times within a week. It also includes unlimited toilet paper.\n\nThe internet is also extra (surprise, surprise) at $10 per week. It was a DSL cable, NOT wi-fi (but my last week on August 12th, they added wi-fi). It is okay, but they have managed to censor it from porn sites and sites that are torrent related. And any censoring is bad in my eyes. \n\nOther issues are the staff doesn't seem that friendly. That is not a total negative, but a smile and a hello every once in blue moon would have been nice. I\n\n did have an issue with my air conditioner where it would shut down for no reason and maintenance had no clue what to do. The unit gave a code of 'Br', so I looked it up on the internet. It was a breaker issue. I made a copy of the manual code page for the maintenance person and he did nothing. I managed to keep it working by occasional unplugging it and replugging it and it would keep working. So maintenance is a negative. \n\nIt was a clean place, nice simple clean rooms, nice laundry room, working elevator and good location to everything (restaurants, roads, Cleveland). For the price, even with the extra costs, is good. If you want nicer and pricer, there is a Residence Inn next door, but if you are on a budget, nothing comes close to Value Place prices."^^ .
