Quality Inn Brunswick Cleveland South

What a surprise! There has obviously been a lot of renovations happening at this hotel. The carpeting is obviously new. The paint on the walls looks fresh (can't smell the paint, so it's been at least a little while). The shower was large and the pressure/temp was all I could have hoped for. I would definitely stay here again.

From the very start the staff was friendly over the phone with scheduling our stay here for the night. I love that they are pet friendly too. To preface this review, I am a very fussy sleeper, but the beds here in my opinion are pleasantly comfortable (: I didn't have to roll around much at all! We appreciated the value here at this Quality Inn. With a little more curb appeal and some minor updates this place would be even more of a gem. Overall this location felt clean and pretty well managed.

I picked this location because it had the most reasonable rates for staying with a dog. Other hotels in the Cleveland suburbs charge huge (and non-refundable) fees for bringing a dog with you, and this was by far the best deal we found. It turned out our dog stayed with a dog sitter and did not travel with us after all, but even still - this was a great nightly rate.

This hotel is not a 5-star affair by any stretch, so let's be real - but I was actually very pleasantly surprised. Yes, the hallways still do have a lingering smell that you can tell people once smoked there a lot, but even with my super sensitivity to cigarette smoke, it wasn't bad enough that I reacted to it. Our room smelled completely fresh and the door shut out the cigarette smell completely. Our room was very clean, the linens were clean and fresh, and the bed was free of any little unwelcome guests (checking for them is the first thing we do in any hotel). The bathroom was a little tight (small shower plus a toilet, sliding door, nothing fancy) but perfectly doable. The sink was outside the toilet/shower area, which in reading reviews seems to bother some folks, but we're perfectly fine with that. We had a mini fridge and microwave in our room, so that was great too. I wouldn't say the bed was the most comfortable bed I've slept in at a hotel (kind of woke up stiff and sore) but it wasn't unbearable. We didn't wake up early enough to get down for breakfast, so I can't tell you what that was like, but I do like that check-out time was 11 so that gave us time to sleep in a bit and then get ready. There's ample parking as well, and we were able to park right outside our room window.

I would definitely stay there again the next time we're in town.
