Ramada Cleveland Independence: Unbeatable Deals & Luxury Getaway!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the glorious, slightly chaotic world of the Ramada Cleveland Independence: Unbeatable Deals & Luxury Getaway! – or, as I'm now calling it, "My Weekend Escape, Possibly with Regrets (But Hopefully Not!)". This isn't your cookie-cutter, five-star experience. It's real. It's flawed. And hopefully, it'll convince you to book a stay. Or at least get a good laugh.
First Impressions (and My Immediate Need for Coffee – Always a Red Flag!)
Okay, so, accessibility. They say they're accessible. We'll get to that, because I'm always skeptical these days. And, as a person of average mobility, I always check these things for my friends.
Accessibility: They claim to be accessible, which is fantastic. I'll be honest, I didn't waltz through every corridor with a wheelchair, but from what I saw, elevators were present, and things seemed, well, passable. Always call ahead if you have specific needs, though. Never trust a review, trust a phone call.
Check-in/out: It was a breeze considering what I had heard about other places in town! Contactless, and the staff seemed genuinely happy to be there (or at least, good at faking it!). The express check-in/out is a godsend. I am not a patient person.
The Room – My Sanctuary (or Temporary Command Center of Chaos)
The rooms… well, let's be honest, they're not the Ritz. BUT, they're clean, which is a huge win in my book.
- Rooms: The Checklist: Air conditioning (bless!), alarm clock (yawn), blackout curtains (saved my sanity), coffee/tea maker (my HERO), free Wi-Fi, comfy bed (almost), in-room safe (never used), and a window that opens (fresh air! Gasp). The little things do matter, people.
- Imperfections: The television situation was a bit… dated. Not HD, and the channel selection felt like it hadn't been updated since the Clinton administration. Also, my first room had a faint smell of cleaning product and regret. Switched rooms (THANK YOU, staff) and it improved.
Amenities – The Promised Land (Maybe?)
Alright, here's where things get interesting. They're selling a luxury getaway, but let's see if it delivers. I'm eyeing that pool with a view!
Spa/Relaxation Frenzy:
- The Pool: Okay, the pool. Not a bad view. Outdoor, and perfectly acceptable for a quick dip. It wasn't oceanfront infinity pool level, but hey, I wasn’t expecting that.
- Sauna/Steamroom: I'm a sucker for these. The sauna was hot, the steamroom was steamy. Both were relatively clean.
- Fitness Center: Did I use it? Nope. Judgment free zone! I looked in, saw treadmills, and decided my workout was going to be Netflix and snacks.
The Food Situation – A Mixed Bag, But Mostly Delightful!
Dining & Drinks: The on-site restaurants were surprisingly decent.
- Asian Cuisine: I went for the Asian fare. It was actually delicious. My friend and I had amazing sushi, I would recommend.
- Poolside Bar: Perfect for the afternoon.
- Bar: A standard hotel bar. Nothing special, but perfectly adequate for a nightcap.
Cleanliness & Safety – The Pandemic Edition
Cleanliness Is Key: They're doing the whole "sanitize everything" thing, which makes me happy. Hand sanitizer stations everywhere. Individually-wrapped food (yay, portion control!). Their food was safe. Everything was clean. Everything felt clean. I had no issues with this.
Services & Conveniences – The Little Things That Matter (and Annoy)
Conveniences:
- Free parking: Huge yes!
- Cash withdrawal: Excellent! You run out of cash when you least expect it.
The "Meh" Factors:
- Gift Shop: Meh. Mostly overpriced souvenirs.
- Babysitting service: Great for those of you traveling with kids.
Things to Do – Beyond the Hotel Walls (Or, How I Chose To Waste Time)
- Airport Transfer: I had a lot of trouble getting there, so this would of saved me a headache.
- Taxi Service: This one is a definite yes.
The Verdict – Should You Book? (The Big Reveal!)

Houston's BEST Extended Stay? Brookhollow InTown Suites Review!Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's itinerary. We're talking about a trip to the Ramada by Wyndham in Cleveland Independence (fancy name, huh? Independence, like we're all setting off our own fireworks…of boredom, maybe?), and I'm about to spill the beans on how this unfolded. Consider this more of a therapy session meets travelogue. Get comfy.
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Motel Room Mystery (aka, "Where's the Remote?!")
1:00 PM: Arrival & Check-In – The Smiling Face…and the Mystery Key: Okay, finally made it! The drive across Ohio was…well, it was Ohio. Flat, green-ish, with the occasional billboard advertising something I'm pretty sure I don't need. The Ramada lobby? Standard. Smelled faintly of bleach and ambition. The clerk, bless her heart, was super smiley. Maybe she truly loved her job, or maybe she was just really good at pretending. Either way, I appreciated it. Got my key, a little plastic…thingy… and headed to my room.
1:30 PM: Room Reconnaissance & The Missing Remote Saga: First impressions? The room was…a room. A bed, a TV, a desk that had probably seen a lot of homework (or, you know, late-night snacks). But, alas, the remote! Gone! Vanished! Like a magician's dove, except instead of a dove, it was the gateway to endless cable channels. Spent a solid 15 minutes patting down every conceivable surface, checking under the mattress (because, you know, the remote is a master of disguise). Nope. Called the front desk. "Oh, we'll get you a new one, dear." The 'dear' irked me, but who am I kidding? It’s my remote. Now!
2:00 PM: Re-Acquiring Control (of the TV): Bless the person who brought over the much needed device. The remote was the gateway to my freedom! I now had control of the TV…for now.
2:30 PM: The Great Bed Test (A Necessary Evil): Let's be honest, the most important part of any motel room is the quality of the bed. It's the unsung hero. I flopped myself down. Verdict? Firm. Not a cloud, but not a torture device either. Tolerable. A little bit of a sinkhole but tolerable.
3:00 PM: The Endless Loop of Hotel TV (and the Struggle to Stay Awake): Hotel TV is its own kind of beast. It’s like a black hole of predictability. Commercials for things I can’t afford, reality shows about people I don’t care about, and reruns of sitcoms I could recite in my sleep. It was a battle to keep my eyes open. I was losing badly.
6:00 PM: Dinner Quest & The Unremarkable Bar: Okay, so I was starving. The Ramada’s "on-site restaurant" had a menu that looked suspiciously like something reheated from a freezer. Brave, I ventured out. Found a sports bar a couple of blocks away. Let me just say, the food was forgettable, the beer was watery, and the conversation was as thrilling as watching paint dry. One guy kept talking about his fantasy football team ("Yeah, Mahomes is still a steal, totally!"). I nodded, smiled, and dreamed of a decent burger.
8:00 PM: Back to the Room & The Unavoidable Existential Dread (aka, "What Am I Doing With My Life?"): Back in my room, the TV was still spewing its endless stream of nothingness. It triggered a moment of self-reflection. Am I enjoying this trip? Am I even a good traveler? Is this the life I truly want? (Deep breaths, folks. Deep breaths.) Answer? Probably not, but I couldn’t change it. This is the itinerary.
10:00 PM: Sleep (Maybe?) & The Phantom Noises: I crawled into bed (firm, remember?), but there were…noises. Plumbing groans, distant sirens, the faint scent of who-knows-what. Sleep was proving elusive. I tried to embrace the chaos, but the motel room's symphony of sounds was just too much.
Day 2: Cleveland's Greatest Hits…Or Maybe Misses?
- 7:00 AM: Wake-Up Call & The Dread of the Shower: Ah, morning. The sun, the promise of a new day, and the distinct possibility of a lukewarm shower. The water pressure was…optimistic, let's say. But hey, I survived.
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast (Included!), the Buffet of Uncertainty: The breakfast buffet was a gamble. Would I get to eat something half decent? The scrambled eggs looked suspiciously orange, the breakfast potatoes were…well, potatoes, and the coffee was…coffee.
- 9:00 AM: Visiting the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was great. I love music. So much.
- 12:00 PM: Lunch! I had some lunch. It was okay.
- 1:00 PM: Visiting the Cleveland Museum of Art The Cleveland Museum of Art was amazing. I love art.
- 5:00 PM: Drive Back & Reflection: All in all, it wasn't the worst adventure ever.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner (and the lingering question of the remote): Decided on takeout this time. Comfort food was a must. I swear, I briefly considered launching a full-scale search to locate the remote but I'm not crazy.
Day 3: Departure & the Sweet Release of…Nothingness?
- 7:00 AM: Goodbye to Paradise (or, at least, the Ramada): The shower was still lukewarm (surprise!), the breakfast was still…breakfast, but hey, the remote was still there. I packed, checked out (with a sheepish glance at the clerk), and hit the road.
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast (at a new location): I was craving a breakfast that was not a buffet. I found a cute little diner. It was great!
- 9:00 AM: Final Thoughts & Existential Musings (Again): As I drove away, yeah, Cleveland wasn't a world-changing experience. But maybe that's okay. Maybe the point of travel isn't always to have a life-altering adventure. Sometimes it's just to get away, see something new, and maybe, just maybe, appreciate the mundane things…like a working TV remote.
- 10:00 AM: Leaving The drive was flat and green-ish. And I was okay with that.
So there you have it. My Ramada by Wyndham Cleveland Independence experience. Messy, imperfect, and maybe a little bit…unremarkable. But hey, it's honest. And that's all that matters, right? Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I need a nap. And maybe a really, really good remote.
Escape to Comfort Suites Suffolk: Your Chesapeake Bay Getaway Awaits!Ramada Cleveland Independence: The Real Deal (Maybe... Mostly!) FAQ
Okay, spill the tea: Is this Ramada *really* a luxury getaway? I saw the word "luxury" and, well, I'm skeptical.
Alright, deep breath. "Luxury" might be a *slight* exaggeration. Let's just say it's... Ramada-level luxury. Imagine the best Ramada you've ever been to. That's the starting point. Look, I went there expecting to find, I don't know, *gold-plated faucets*. Didn't happen. But, and this is a big but (and I cannot lie, I also do not lie) it was genuinely comfortable! The bed? Actually good. Like, "I almost missed checkout" good. They’ve tried to make the lobby look nice, it's kinda worked. So, luxury? Debatable. Enjoyable? Absolutely. Don't go expecting the Four Seasons, but you'll be happy with the value. And they keep the rooms pretty clean, which is a HUGE win in my book.
What about the deals? Are they actually UNBEATABLE or is that just marketing fluff? Because my wallet is currently weeping.
Right, the deals. This is where Ramada Cleveland Independence sorta shines. I'm talking, you legit might get a room for a price that makes you do a double-take. I swear to god, one time I booked and thought, "There has to be a hidden fee, right?" Nop. They actually *deliver* on the deal promise. They often have package options, too, which can bundle in things like parking (a lifesaver in that area, believe me) and maybe a cheeky breakfast. My advice? Browse around, check rates, and compare. You genuinely *could* snag an unbelievable deal. Just be aware that, well, that price might not include EVERYTHING. Always read the fine print, kids!
Location, location, location! What's the deal with the area around the hotel? Good for exploring? Getting food? Crime rates? Spill the beans!
Okay, the location. It's in Independence, which is… fine. It's not downtown Cleveland, which has its own pros and cons. Pros: It's generally safer. Cons: You'll be doing more driving. You absolutely NEED a car. Think of it like this: it's the quintessential suburban hotel experience. Plenty of chain restaurants are nearby, like, you know, your standard fare. Got a craving for Olive Garden? You're in luck! Want some actual unique Cleveland flavor? You’ll probably need to hop in the car and drive a bit. Regarding crime, it’s definitely safer than some parts of Cleveland proper, but never let your guard down. Just, you know, be aware of your surroundings. I felt okay walking around at night, but use common sense.
Let's talk food: Is there a decent restaurant at the hotel? Or am I doomed to microwave meals from the convenience store?
Ugh, the food situation... Okay, so there IS a restaurant. It's… I'll be honest, it's not gourmet. But it is *convenient*. And after a long drive, convenience can be a godsend. Think classic American fare. Burgers, fries, salads... the usual suspects. The service can be a bit hit-or-miss. One time, it took me an HOUR to get a burger. An HOUR! I was *hangry*. But other times, it's been perfectly fine. The breakfast buffet is… well, it's a breakfast buffet. Expect the usual suspects: scrambled eggs that might or might not be real eggs, questionable sausage links, and a waffle iron that tempts you relentlessly. My advice? Check out the other options available nearby, since there are plenty of them.
Parking: Is parking free, or am I gonna get nickeled and dimed for every little thing?
Ah, parking. One of the most stressful parts of any travel situation. Thankfully, at the Ramada Cleveland Independence, *parking is free*! Hallelujah! It's a massive, glorious, stress-reducing victory. You can drive right up, park, and forget about it. Unless, of course, you're me, and you can't remember where you parked in the first place. I spent a solid 20 minutes once, wandering around, trying to locate my car. But hey, that's my problem, not the hotel's. Free parking: a massive win.
The dreaded Wi-Fi. Is it reliable? Will I actually be able to work (or, you know, stream Netflix)?
Wi-Fi… ah, the bane of the modern traveler's existence. I will not lie. There have been times when the Wi-Fi was… frustrating to say the least. Slow, dropping out, demanding endless logins... you know the drill. Other times, it's been… you know, okay. Usable. I've managed to work, to stream, to generally survive. I'd recommend not relying on it for anything super-critical. Don't schedule a video conference call that's *absolutely* vital without having a backup plan. Just in case. So, the Wi-Fi? Let’s call it a gamble. But hey, maybe you'll get lucky!
What's the deal with the pool/gym? Are they actually worth using?
The pool and gym. Okay, here's the deal. I'm not a swimmer. I'm more of a "sit by the pool and read a book" kind of person. So, I can't really vouch for the pool's cleanliness or appeal to the serious swimmers. But it *is* there. It looks… functional. It’s covered, too, so you can probably swim in any season. the Gym, well, it's a gym. It has the basic equipment. I peeked in once. Looked like it had treadmills, weights, and the like. It’s not going to win any awards. It's just… there, in case you feel the need to punish yourself with exercise. If you're expecting a state-of-the-art facility, you'll be disappointed. But if you just want to get a little something in, it'll probably do the trick.
Okay, hit me with a random observation that sums up the whole experience. Something quirky!
Alright, alright, here's the quintessential Ramada Cleveland Independence moment. Picture this: I checked in. Walked to my room. Entered. Everything seemed fine! Then, as I was about to unpack, I noticed... a picture. OnBook Hotels Now
