Top University Circle Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Cleveland-Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was extremely helpful and polite. The only issue we had was the limited number of tables available during breakfast. The room available off the lobby for breakfast was kind of small, with a limited number of tables. Customers needed to move across the lobby to the hotel bar, where additional tables were located."

The Glidden House

10/10 Excellent

"Glidden House is an absolutely gorgeous, historic property and the staff were wonderful. It was nice to spend some time in such a beautiful setting. I had one issue regarding cleanliness, and it is a common one for places like this one - unfortunately. The small in-room coffee machine was not clean. They should remove these units from rooms if they aren't going to be maintaining them. Glidden House serves an excellent breakfast, so I recommend you skip the little machine in the room and find better coffee in the lobby. PS This hotel may be haunted, it looks like a scene from a famous movie! We considered that a plus."

Hotel Cleveland, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in 549 and had a great stay, overall. The layout of the room is a little weird with the TV to the side of the bed and only one chair. The room was very clean, and housekeeping staff were all friendly and helpful. Location was great for us, and everything went smoothly from valet parking, to bell service (Gee), and check in with Roman."

Drury Plaza Hotel Cleveland Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"What a great hotel. Large rooms,clean rooms with a microwave and refrigerator. The free breakfast and dinner was delicious. They also offer complimentary drinks. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. This hotel is within walking distance to Huntington Field, Science Center and the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. I highly recommend the Drury Hotel."

Hilton Garden Inn Cleveland Downtown

8/10 Good

"Rooms are outdated, but they were clean. Staff was friendly and willing to assist with questions. We didn't have wash cloths in our room, but may have been a slight overlook. Breakfast was good, convenient and good selections. Walking distance to attracts like the ballpark, rocket arena and the casino. "
