La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cleveland Macedonia
Everything from the rugs in the lobby, to the waffle maker, to the bathroom, to the pool was just filthy. Staff were not bothered by the state of the rooms, breakfast area, or pool. Unless it's a last resort, I would not recommend.

Econo Lodge Cleveland Southeast - Kent
Clean room. Property was just a little worn but clean. No breakfast. We didn't have blankets on our beds & had to ask late at night, but they brought them right away. We wanted to bring a few friends over and use a breakfast room etc to visit with them and there wasn't any room to do that.
