InterContinental Cleveland, an IHG Hotel

The clean lines of the public areas (quasi Japaneses aesthetic?) won me over on arrival. Actually, I was won over by the wonderful valet parker in the driveway--she set the tone for our visit. The room was spacious, supremely comfortable (two chairs for once! great beds). Dinner in the restaurant was superb. Ditto the breakfast in another restaurant.. Extremely helpful concierge who sent me up some shaving cream when I found I had forgotten mine. This is a first rate establishment.

The location was nicely located near where I was going. Staff very helpful and friendly. Beautiful hotel.

Skyway made it exceptionally easy to walk from the hotel to Cleveland Clinic without going outside. To access the walkway, all you needed to do was take the elevator in the hotel to the 3rd floor and walk out the hotel doors to the walkway. About a 5 minute walk to the main campus Bldg. The hospital staff drove golf carts across the skyway, giving rides to whoever couldn't make the short walk. If you are going to Cleveland Clinic, this really is worth the higher nightly fees for convenience and peace of mind. No worrying about parking, weather or security. The skyway is a main travel corridor between the main campus and bldg A, so it is always occupied, clean, climate controlled and very safe. The hotel has a fine dining restaurant and bar, another breakfast and lunch restaurant and an extensive 24 hour room service menu. Great food! The hotel is also extremely high quality as are the rooms. Highly recommend.

Reason to stay here is, of course, that it is connected to the buildings of the Cleveland Clinic. Rooms are large, well appointed, and clean. Club Level amenities are a real plus since most guests never leave the CC campus or the hotel. And, I gladly award an entire extra star for hotels with hooks in the bathroom. On request they will supply special furniture for those in need after surgery.

Restaurant service was good during breakfast. Front desk staff was very friendly.
