Top Cleveland State University Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Cleveland-Downtown

8/10 Good

"I would have given a perfect star BUT the receptionist was not very welcoming. Gave me room key cards that not working. And she was choosing to give an attitude than being helpful. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt but when I saw how she treated the American gentleman at the reception, gave me an impression that it was just me. I am Asian by the way. I didn’t get her name but the guy the next day was the total opposite of her. If she didn’t want to be in her job, she should look for another. When you’re in the Hospitality industry, you can’t act like that. You need to be friendly and happy."

Hilton Garden Inn Cleveland Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean hotel at reasonable cost. Prefect location for people going to guardian games."

Residence Inn By Marriott Cleveland Downtown

8/10 Good

"Place was real nice and located in a great location"

Comfort Inn Cleveland Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Good stay"

Charming loft in lovely DT Cleveland - Free parking - Balcony - Gym

8/10 Good

"The loft was great. We are used to hotels, so this was way better. It was secure, quiet, comfortable, clean and very well equipped. There were 20 stairs to the bedroom and bathroom (and balcony) - that was a lot for me (I have mobility issues). The loft had everything we needed to cook - but we didn't do any of that - lol. It did have some staples, like instant coffee, salt, pepper, etc. and the bathroom had shampoo/conditioner/body wash hanging in the shower (which, in itself, was delightful). The washer/dryer was a big bonus. I didn't have to come home and do a lot of washing. It was literally walkable to almost anywhere, but we didn't do that either - lol. Parking was an issue, but not their fault. We rented a van so we could bring everything we wanted and parking a vehicle that big was problematic. There are huge cement braces in the underground garage and it's a tight squeeze, so we left the van there most of the time and used Uber, which was way easier - and it was free parking, which was a HUGE bonus. You absolutely can not go to Cleveland and not go to Little Italy - and I highly recommend Mia Bella - the food was fantastic!"
