Red Roof Inn Cleveland - Westlake

10/10 Excellent

"Good staff clean rooms"

Sonesta Simply Suites Cleveland North Olmsted Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and very well kept. Has a lsundry room for guests and a workout room too. But the best part is the people, and that is hard to come by! Every person on staff there that I have run into are all just the nicest folks! From front desk to maintenance to housekeeping. Absolutely stellar people!!!"

Wyndham Garden Westlake

8/10 Good

"The stay was pleasant on the top floor, the bedroom was clean and all amenities worked. The front desk was attentive and provided a safe and comfortable place to stay. The staff gives you information about the surrounding area to help with your daily activities. Overall the stay was good and the staff is kind."

Hampton Inn North Olmsted Cleveland Airport

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very nice staff is extremely friendly and helpful the breakfast buffet was excellent! The only complaints we had and we had two rooms both rooms the beds are horrible! For such a nice hotel they need to invest in mattress toppers. It would make a world of difference for their customers comfort if they would do that or purchase all new hybrid expensive mattresses. You can put a person in the most expensive elegant room but if the bed is not comfortable their stay is ruined. We also we very disappointed that the pool and hot tub were unable to be used during our stay. That meant we had to go outside the hotel to find something to do instead of enjoying the amenities of the pool and hot tub. Other than that the staff is very friendly and helpful and you have an excellent breakfast buffet and nice rooms. Thank you for our stay."
