The hotel needs a complete overhaul. The best thing about it is the location, walkable to stadium, arena, and Rock and Roll Hall of fame. The lobby is unwelcoming/uninviting. There were stains on the gym floor. We exited the back side of the lobby and were greeted by disgustingly smelly garbage and grease(?) on the ground. Our room, while large was not good. The floor near the waste and recycle bins was sticky. That giant soaker tub is ridiculous, it would take forever to fill and is unappealing. The steps up to it made it dangerous to get in and out of the shower. All of the grout on the tile floor in the bathroom was pulverized, almost like it was dirt. Our king bed didn't have a second nightstand even though there was room. We could hear everything from our neighbors though the adjoining door (and I mean everything) and had to sleep with headphones on. They need to get rid of this and put in proper insulation.

I would not recommend staying at this place. We arrived a little earlier than check in time and was not allowed to check in which is understandable. We came back at 4 which is the stated check in time. We couldn’t check in because they said system was down but the people in line behind were checking in. When we asked why they told us our room wasn’t available yet. They couldn’t reach anyone from housekeeping After 30 minutes of waiting and watching others check in I asked again They said our room still isn’t available and just said do you want refunded and were extremely rude. They didn’t even consider our plans that were being ruined and had zero sympathy when told about them. This was probably the worst customer service we have ever experienced and will never stay here in the future

Old bank turned hotel. Nice high ceilings and hard wood floors. Elevators worked fast even though old. Staff was amazing and helpful and very friendly. In a great area of downtown walk to Rocket Mortgage arena. The second door look on room did I not work, telephone not connected and flush mechanism on toilet broke. They did fix it right away for us

The hotel itself was okay, very average but was sold on luxury. It smelled horrible, like an old grandma or hot garbage every morning. Whoever our neighbors were constantly was having people in and out and standing in the hallways. We had a child with us and there were MANY women dressed risqué every morning in the lobby even though the area is very much so catered towards children. The room was very spacious but very dated. And the elevators are terrifying, very very dated, small and do not work properly at all. The staff seems okay, but like they don’t want to be there.. which i wouldn’t either if i had to sit in that smell all day.

The breakfast was a joke. Very overcooked food and multiple un stocked items. The jetted tub in my room was insanely loud and vibrated the floors and ceiling of the adjoining rooms. I asked the other patrons. No smart tv’s at all with no access to streaming apps outside of the electronic devices you bring yourself. WiFi is very spotty and slow. Out of the four 100yr old elevators they have only two were even in working conditions. Would not recommend outside the location is awesome for other places to drink eat and hang out in a very close proximity to the hotel.

The Holiday Inn Express in downtown Cleveland is in a very unique vintage bldg. The room was big, even had a small kitchen and living room area. Beds were AMAZINGLY cozy and comfortable. It was a FABULOUS night's stay! I was bummed that I saw FREE PARKING advertised but in reality Valet was the only choice for $40 so that added a bunch to the room cost. That was the only unexpected thing that disappointed me.
