Windows rattled in our room practically the entire night we were there. It was a disappointment that the condition of this hotel inside was not as up to date as anticipated

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cleveland Macedonia
Everything from the rugs in the lobby, to the waffle maker, to the bathroom, to the pool was just filthy. Staff were not bothered by the state of the rooms, breakfast area, or pool. Unless it's a last resort, I would not recommend.
