My first experience with Extended Stay of Westlake was great. We had spent the previous night at a different long term stay hotel. The 2 hotels were priced the same. The first hotel was terrible. Smelly, run-down, with shady people staying there. Extended Stay of Westlake was the exact opposite. Clean, modern, safe, quality looking guests. What a difference and the 2 hotels were the same price! We will stay at Extended Stay again. Hopefully, all Extended Stay hotels are the same. This one was worth every penny. We had a Queen Deluxe room. Queen bed with a living room area, kitchen, large bath. Great.

The room was functional, and that's about the best I can say for it. . The bathroom had no counter space and the lighting was dim, the television was small and far away from any convenient viewing space. On the other hand, it was nice to have a kitchen, which was clean and stocked with utensils.

My main complaint is, due to a paperwork error, the morning office manager attempted to walk into my room one morning while I was still getting ready to leave. Fortunately I had the hook on the door so it only opened a crack, but I was shaken up none the less. He claimed that the previous person at the front desk had filed check out paperwork for my room (even though I had just checked in the night before) and he was checking to make sure that the room was vacant so he could send in the cleaning service.

When I later called the front desk to find out what had happened, he admitted that it was him who had walked in, but was dismissive and short with my concern over the matter. I understand that accidents happen, but had I not had the door secured, he would have seen me in all my glory.

The rest of the staff was pleasant and helpful.

We had not been to Cleveland in a couple of years and even longer for pleasure rather than business. Cleveland has certainly changed from what we remembered. Downtown has been cleaned up and there is a ton of things to do and see .

It was a short trip but we visited the Botanical Gardens and the Cleveland Museum of History. Both were worth the trip. Coming from Arizona we amazed at the different types of plants grown there - we also visited a small greenhouse with a beautiful display of orchids.

I was pleasantly surprised at the dinosaur exhibit at the history museum, who would have thought that anything other than a building could be that large? The museum staff was great, very knowledgeable and welcoming.

We stayed at the Extended Stay Hotel in Beachwood, what a beautiful area; the staff were terrific; the only draw back to the hotel was that one of the burners on the stove didn't work, but since we ended up not doing a lot of cooking it was of no matter.

The only thing about the trip we could have done without was the terrible shape of the roads. A lot of them were full of potholes mostly in neighborhoods, which I assume get repaired last. One of the main roads we traveled was also torn up. I understand road maintenance, but perhaps it could be scheduled better.

All in all , we had a very nice time.

I searched for an extended stay hotel in the Westlake area and found Extended Stay Deluxe. I only booked 2 nights to make sure I liked the hotel before I committed to 5 days. I stayed a total of 5 nights.

The rate was a great value $65 per day. The front desk was very helpful and knowledgable.

Hotel room was clean and had a kitchen. Wireless Internet was fast, bedding was clean and fairly new. Located near a freeway access. You need to to drive to any stores or restaurants. Mall about 2 miles away. Very quiet.

Exercise room had equipment in good condition and clean No pool and no breakfast in the morning. Washer and dryer available.
