The location and price was good. The stairs were a struggle with a case. The room was generally ok, but lacked drawer storage space, and overall was really dated. Needs a renovation.

unfortunately the Wi-Fi was a bit poor in this room tucked in away from the Wi-Fi transmitter, but hey the room was clean neat and tidy, a bit tiny - next time if we stay in Cleveland we might will book a balcony room which overlooked the pool maybe a few extra dollars - main issue was no internet, staff were friendly and ok price almost acceptable
