“Not a bad place to stay. It's Cleveland.”
I assume you're not expecting the Sandals Resort experience in the Cleveland area. If you are, check out the "Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video" on YouTube for a reality check.
I stayed here as it was convenient to the historical sites in Kirtland. It is a very short drive there, although not walking distance for the average person. I wouldn't call it the BEST area in the world, but it wasn't unsafe. When I was checking in, there was a dubious-looking man trying to book a room and a lady of the night waiting outside for him. Or so it appeared. Moments after checking in and driving to his room, several police cars immediately swarmed the premises and escorted the gentleman away. NOT the hotel's fault, but yes, it's the kind of joint where people may be bringing their hooker.
I found the man at check-in to be friendly and accommodating. The many tattoos were a put-off to the family checking in behind me, but hey, it's the book and not the cover... He was more than willing to go out of his way for everyone as far as I saw. The room is not what you would want to see on your honeymoon, but the bed is supportive, the sheets were clean, I actually felt safe leaving thousands of dollars worth of electronics in my car (I was moving across the country). In the morning, everything was there. Shower worked, although the bathroom was tiny. Towels clean. It was 40 bucks... you can't complain.
If you're going to Kirtland and are on a tight budget, I would recommend the place. If your business is in Cleveland, it may be a little far out to be convenient. I was only there one night but I feel comfortable saying don't be put off by the negative reviews--if you want a cheap roof over your head, clean sheets, and service that doesn't bite your head off just for trying to give them money, you'll find it.
