Top South Amherst Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn North Olmsted Cleveland Airport

8/10 Good

"Very clean room. Breakfast could be better"

Sonesta Simply Suites Cleveland North Olmsted Airport

8/10 Good

"The room I think was 121. It is designed very well and definitely has the customer’s best interest in mind. My husband and I have visited very nice hotels and at this point we’re looking forward to revisiting. We’re already planning to revisit next year in September because it’s the month of our wedding anniversary. Don’t be surprised if we don’t show up again before 2026 is over!🙂! P.S. The kitchen area is great as well as the roomy bathroom. The fact that there is an easy chairs next to the bed and a desk chair was a win-win, especially since there is usually only one chair in the bedroom. Even the fact that there are tissues conveniently placed in the rooms is thoughtful. By-the-way keep up the good work in the cleaning dept."

Comfort Inn River's Edge

8/10 Good

"Great location with very nice views if you have a room on the water side. Super nice people but the place needs work and they have extremely limited TV selections. Everything was “not included with your package”. room itself was nice but bathroom needed lots of work. Towel rod and TP holder falling off the walls and toilet rocking like it was not bolted down"

The Hotel At Oberlin

10/10 Excellent

"Super clean and well maintained hotel with friendly and helpful staff. My only complaint would be that even though the restaurant next to the lobby seemed open there was nobody around to seat us. We tried twice for breakfast but without any luck. Not a big deal. We found good food choices just a block or two away."
