Hotel Cleveland, Autograph Collection

About The Hotel

A 4.4-rated hotel on Public Square in the landmark former Renaissance building, with a vibrant bar, conference space, and upgraded historic rooms with nine-foot ceilings. It has the strongest location score in the city (4.8) and is reasonably priced for full-size upgraded rooms with friendly, capable staff. Paid on-site parking is expensive and confusing to guests; a historic city hotel rather than an in-room-jacuzzi property. Best for travelers who want historic downtown character right on Public Square. On Public Square downtown, steps from the casino, Playhouse Square and the rapid lines.

What Guests Are Saying

“Stayed here for a dance competition this weekend. Very nice hotel! Even though it looks huge it was super easy & fast to navigate to the different areas of the hotel. We were able to check in early & get a late check out (members). The front desk was super helpful and extremely nice! We had breakfast in the restaurant in the morning and again, super service from all staff members! Food was good, I got western omelet ($17) and the fruit tray ($12) both days. Room is very large! Loved the huge walk in closet! There is a steamer in the closet which was great! I prefer that over an iron. Clean room, comfortable bed & pillows. I did hear some folks complaining about no hot water, we are on 11th floor and no issues at all. Connected to Jacks Casino. There is a Starbucks over there and some other dining options. Returning in April for another competition. Recommend this hotel!” — kelnron05, 5 stars

“Lovely stop on our trip - the rooms were clean, staff was friendly, and breakfast was wonderful. Parking is expensive here, but you’re downtown so expected. All complaints are minor, but be aware: parking is confusing if you’ve not been here before, honestly pay for valet if it’s your first time, or if you have a tall vehicle (garage is 6’6”); noisier AC than average but just a bit; rooms are dark - very moody lighting which is fine if you like that; we didn’t have any washcloths and one side of our night lamp was burned out, both would probably have been easy calls to the front desk if we weren’t so tired.” — Anna52496, 5 stars

“We had an excellent experience, thanks largely to Ryan at the front desk. We had a minor issue with our room shortly after checking in, and Ryan addressed it and corrected it immediately. Later, we had an issue with noise and Ryan not only put us into a new, quieter room, but it was a major upgrade from our previous one. Finally, he actually looked for us to give us complimentary drink vouchers to make up for all of the inconvenience. He was professional, pleasant, knowledgeable, and made our stay even better than we expected. Also, the hotel is absolutely beautiful!” — Andrea W., 5 stars
