stayAPT Suites Cleveland

stayAPT Suites Cleveland

10/10 Excellent
"This was a huge room with a kitchen living area up front separated by a hallway from the bedroom at the back. It was very convenient for my husband and I to be separated from our grown son up front who slept in the pull out couch. The bed was extremely comfortable and I even tried, to no avail, to find out the brand bc I need a new mattress at home. The price of this room was very reasonable. Check in was a bit difficult bc it was automated basically since the clerk left at 5 and we got there around 6. You had to put a code in and unlock a mailbox to get your key and we didn't have the code we needed. But we contacted the emergency number and got into our room quickly"
