Top University Circle Hotel Reviews

The Westin Cleveland Downtown

8/10 Good

"The room was perfect - clean and comfortable - as was the location. However, we were disappointed that there were unexpected costs due to inaccurate or incomplete information. There is on-site parking, but it is not free for guests. Our reservation specifically said it included breakfast, but we learned that was only for “tiered members.” These miscommunications added more than $200 to the cost of our trip."

Hyatt Regency Cleveland At The Arcade

10/10 Excellent

"We booked last minute for a concert at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame not realizing there was also a baseball game that night, and also a wedding right at the hotel. The hotel was beautiful, and even my surly 13-year-old agreed. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were personable and attentive. I called housekeeping when I realized there was no shampoo in the bathroom, and someone was there within minutes with a new bottle. The valet service was quick and easy as well. We will definitely come back."

Fidelity Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was beautiful, love the historic building. Easy to find, valet was super easy. Check-in was fast and very helpful. Loved the elevators needed key cards to go up knowing it was safe. Literally around the corner from the fun food and shopping area. We were going to the baseball field, barely a 10 min walk and super easy. If you’re going to the baseball field or the arena in front of it I highly recommend staying here for the total convenience! Would definitely stay here again!"
