biddingforhotel Posted June 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I am glad the hotel is located right at Canal Visitor Center of Cuyahoga Valley National Park which has scenic train ride. It also has the route along Erie Canal which lead to the great development in Greater Cleveland OH area in the good old days. Link to comment
biddingforhotel Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Since it is on the road, so I checked it out before any surprise on the way back, and I am glad that I checked it out, there is a huge road construction, so when you get to this hotel, you need to do more detours, which is not that hard, just follow the sign, but first time follow GPS and hit the road block, a bit panic ...I also check out the nice Hyatt Place right next to it, very trendy and nice, there are dozen nice hotel in the area, and it is a wonderful expanding town!!! I also check out 2 miles down the road the Canal Park and walk around, very nice ...On the way from I-80-W become I-76-W and then hit this Univ of Akron, so nice, everything new, the student union is fantastic, got you see it for yourself, the Inventors Hall of Fame is right at entrance of UA, and the Speedway store at gas station got 79 cent HUGE (any size same price) icy! Also visited Great Lake Science Museum, about 9 miles away from here, take I-77-North then I-90-E and will follow sign over ... next to it also Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, ...etc. Visited before and still very interesting, at 1st floor tells you all about the Great lakes area...

biddingforhotel Posted July 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 On the way back from Chicago, it was a long 350 miles drive and did not leave Chicago till close to dark so arrived hotel around 3am ... :) Front desk was very nice and checked in very quick, and in fact got us a nice 14 ft ceiling room at 1st floor near side entrance, so everything was smooth... (glad I checked out on the way to Chicago and did not get panic on all the road block... :o Check out prompt when wake up the following morning since there were another 460 miles to drive home. Hotel staff were nice... just take Fwy 480 East then very smoothly became I-80-East. So this hotel is also very good mid point hotel since when coming over from Chicago, I-80-East became Fwy 480-East was also very smooth, till get off Fwy 77 and arrived right away.On thing I notice was that dozen of road constructions along I-80 while I was heading Chicago now seemed to be all complete (may be because of July 4), so coming back was much smoother ... :) Link to comment
