Escape to Cleveland: Mayfield Heights' Cozy Comfort Inn Awaits!
Escape to Cleveland: Mayfield Heights' Comfort Inn – A Cozy Haven (Or Maybe Just Slightly Better Than Expected?) - A Totally Honest Review (And a Booking Offer!)
Okay, folks, let's be real. "Escape to Cleveland" usually inspires visions of… well, Cleveland. But, hey, sometimes you need a break, right? And that's where the Comfort Inn in Mayfield Heights comes in. Honestly, I went in with pretty low expectations (it's a Comfort Inn, after all!), but I was pleasantly surprised. And, for the record, this review is NOT sugar-coated. Buckle up.
First Impressions & Accessibility:
Right off the bat, they score points for accessibility. I noticed elevators (a MUST for folks needing them!), and I believe I saw some designated parking spots. (I’m walking around fine, so I wasn’t focusing on that specifically, but I did spot some signs, and that’s a win!) Important Note: I'm not fully versed in ADA compliance, so double-check if you need specific accommodations. Call ahead! But the initial vibe? Pretty good.
The Pandemic Peace of Mind (Or at Least the Attempt):
Okay, let's talk about the elephant in the room: COVID. They’re trying. They really are. They have signs EVERYWHERE promoting cleanliness. They have… what was it…”professional-grade sanitizing services.” And, yes, there was hand sanitizer galore. They’ve got “hygiene certification” plastered on things. Makes you feel safer. Still, even with all the effort, I can't help but have this tiny voice in my head whispering “did they actually get EVERY corner?” But that’s the world now, right? You can opt-out of room sanitization if you feel so inclined.
Rooms & Creature Comforts (The Good, The Bad, and the Possibly Slightly Annoying):
My room…well, it was a room. Clean, thankfully. But the BEST part? FREE WI-FI IN ALL ROOMS! Yes! And it actually worked! I could stream my questionable reality TV shows without buffering - a CRUCIAL element for a relaxing getaway, am I right? The TV also had "on-demand movies," which I didn't actually try, but it’s nice to know that option is there.
Now for the reality check: black-out curtains (thank goodness!), a decent desk for laptop use (I think I had my own little office going), and a coffee maker (vital - more on that later). But, the decor was… well, let’s call it “Comfort Inn Chic.” Think neutral tones, and possibly a slight lack of personality.
Digging Deeper into the Amenities:
- Internet (and LAN!): They offer both! Wireless internet access is included! And, if you're a LAN person (like my dad, who still runs a cable), there’s that too. Technology - check!
- Cleanliness & Safety: They are trying hard with the daily disinfection of common areas and rooms being sanitized between stays.
- Things to Do (or, What to Do Besides Stay in the Room): The "Fitness Center" was a hilarious little room. Literally two treadmills, a weight machine, and a bench. Don't expect a full-blown gym. But if you need to walk for 20 minutes, it's fine, I guess.
- The Pool (The Ultimate Test): The swimming pool [outdoor] was CLOSED. But no disappointment.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking - A Breakfast Odyssey:
Breakfast. Oh, breakfast. It’s included. A "Breakfast [buffet]" which I will call a "buffet" - was… well, a buffet. They clearly tried to make it presentable; individually-wrapped options, and they had some hot stuff. Honestly, I was so happy to get my coffee. And not from a bad coffee maker in my room, but an actual coffee machine in the "dining room". I like coffee, and the hotel gives us some to drink.
Other options? There's a "Coffee shop," a "Snack bar." "Restaurants". The hotel has a restaurant, but I didn't eat there, but they advertise a menu.
Services and Conveniences (The Helpful vs. the Not-So-Helpful):
- The Good: Laundry service is available and they have a convenience store for those late-night snack attacks.
- The Okay: Daily housekeeping was efficient. The front desk was helpful, but not overly chatty.
- The Possibly Unnecessary: A "Doorman"? I didn’t see one. Maybe he was on break.
Services & Conveniences: A Little Extra:
- The Good: "Cashless payment service" is available.
- The Okay: "Concierge," "Luggage storage "
- The Possibly Unnecessary: "Facilities for disabled guests," "Shrine."
The Verdict (and the Offer!)
This Comfort Inn isn’t going to win any awards for luxury. But if you're looking for a clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced place to stay in Mayfield Heights (or if, like me, you’re just passing through Cleveland), it’s a solid choice. It's clean, it's safe (ish - more on that later), and it gets the job done.
Quirks and Random Thoughts:
- The elevators made a weird noise. I'm not sure what it was, but after a few rides, I started to give them the side-eye.
- They had a "Smoking area". I never went there, but it was good to know.
- My room had an alarm clock.
- Daily housekeeping
- They don't allow pets… so that's a bummer for some.
And Now, the Booking Offer!
Here's the thing: You're looking for a reliable, no-frills place to crash. You need a clean bed, a hot shower, and hopefully, some peace and quiet. If that sounds like you (and hey, it sounds like most of us!), then don't overthink it.

The Great Cleveland Adventure (and the Comfort Inn Conundrum): A Messy Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival and the Quest for Decent Coffee
- 2:00 PM: Arrive at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE). Ugh, airports. The same soul-crushing beige carpets and the perpetually-delayed flights… I swear, I saw a guy in a full hazmat suit yesterday. Okay, maybe I thought I saw one. Jet lag does that to you. Anyway, luggage carousel drama. Let's pray my suitcase actually made it. Because if not, I'm gonna have to buy new pajamas. And you know, the good ones.
- 2:30 PM: Car rental – pray for a smooth pickup. This whole process is a gamble and I'm here for it. Maybe I’ll get the upgrade.
- 3:30 PM: Check into the Comfort Inn, Mayfield Heights. Okay, the online photos looked… optimistic. This is the moment of truth. Is it going to be the standard "slightly worn but clean" or the "questionably stained carpet and a lingering smell of chlorine" edition? Fingers crossed for the former.
- 4:00 PM: Room Inspection and the Search for Caffeine. I’m making this a priority. The clock is ticking!
- 4:30 PM: The coffee situation is the defining characteristic of the entire trip. Seriously. I’m going to scout out the area to find a decent cup of coffee. Not that burnt, bitter stuff they serve in the lobby. Where is the independent coffee shop? It's a matter of survival at this point.
- 5:30 PM: Dinner at a local restaurant. I'm not sure, I'm open to suggestions.
- 7:30 PM: Relaxing at the hotel room and a good night's sleep. I have a lot of energy!
Day 2: Cleveland Rocks! (and My Overwhelming Optimism)
- 8:00 AM: Wake up, try to ignore the slightly off-putting humming of the mini-fridge. Coffee run! Pray my local coffee shop is actually close.
- 9:00 AM: The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Ugh, this is good and a little overwhelming. The history! The legends! The crowds!
- 12:00 PM: Lunch near the Rock Hall. I could go for a big burger.
- 1:30 PM: The Cleveland Museum of Art. Time to pretend I understand art. I'll wander around, look intelligent or just stand and stare (mostly the latter).
- 4:00 PM: Little Italy. I love Italian food! I'm sure the food is great.
- 7:00 PM: Back to the Comfort Inn. Possibly too much food and the need for a nap.
Day 3: The Deep Dive: A Day Dedicated to One Thing (and a Potential Meltdown)
Okay, so I've decided to deep dive into something on this trip. I want to do something really cool and give it the complete attention it deserves. And that thing is… The West Side Market!
I'm talking all day at the West Side Market!! This is where it gets messy.
- 9:00 AM: Arrive at the West Side Market. (Getting there could be a mini-adventure in itself… maybe I get lost. Probably. )
- 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM: Wandering the market. Okay, this is the real deal. The sights, the smells, the people. I need to soak it it. Gotta try the pierogis, the sausages, the… anything! I'm going to annoy vendors by asking a million questions. Seriously, I will. I want to know everything. The history, the families, the secrets. The people. The food.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch at the West Side Market. This is the tricky part. So many choices. I'm going to panic. I might have a mini-meltdown trying to choose between a pasty and… everything else.
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: More Market mayhem! I'm buying souvenirs, getting to know the people.
- 5:00 PM: Dinner! I feel completely exhausted and deliriously happy.
- 6:30 PM: Back to the Comfort Inn. Shower, collapse into bed, and dream of pierogis.
Day 4: The Departure (and The Realization That Time Flies)
- 9:00 AM: Wake up. One last coffee, maybe at the coffee shop. The smell of the coffee, the noise, the feeling that comes with a new day. I smile.
- 10:00 AM: Brunch and some souvenir shopping.
- 1:00 PM: Check out. Sadly.
- 2:00 PM: Drive back to the airport.
- 3:00 PM: Drop off the rental car – hopefully without any extra fees (fingers crossed!).
- 4:00 PM: Airport security. More beige carpets. Farewell, Cleveland! You chaotic, delicious, slightly confusing place.
- Flight time: Pray the plane takes off without a hitch.
- 5:00 PM: Back home.
Important Considerations (and Rants)
- Packing: Overpack, underpack, it’s a gamble. Always bring an extra pair of socks. And a good book. And noise-canceling headphones.
- Transportation: Prepare for potential traffic… and getting lost. I'm not the best with directions.
- The Comfort Inn: Look, it’s a place to sleep. Manage expectations. Bring your own pillow if you're picky. And maybe some air freshener. Just in case.
- Food: I'm a big eater. I am here for the food.
- Emotions: Prepare for a rollercoaster.
Final Thoughts:
This is not a perfect itinerary. It's a jumping-off point for a real, messy, and hopefully hilarious experience. The key is to embrace the imperfections, the unexpected detours, and the moments of sheer, unadulterated silliness. Now, let's go have an adventure!

Escape to Cleveland: Mayfield Heights' Cozy Comfort Inn Awaits! (Or Does It?) - FAQs That Are More Truth Than Truthful
So, Is This Comfort Inn *Really* Cozy? I'm picturing roaring fireplaces and fluffy robes...
Okay, let's be real. "Cozy" might be stretching it a *tiny* bit. I'm talking more "functional" cozy. Think less "rustic lodge," more "well-lit, beige box with a bed that is comfortable enough after a long day of battling Cleveland drivers and questionable weather." The robes? Hah! Bring your own. Seriously. I'm not saying it's a *bad* cozy. It's just…realistic cozy. And after the traffic on I-271? Realistic is all you really need, you know?
Actually, speaking of traffic, quick story. One time I was heading there after a particularly brutal Browns game (don't judge, I'm a glutton for punishment). My GPS, which I’d affectionately nicknamed “the liar,” directed me down a side street that was *literally* a mud pit. I swear I almost lost a tire. Reached the Inn looking like I'd fought a badger. So, maybe bring mud boots too, just in case.
Breakfast: Free and Delightful, or a Sad, Beige Affair? Be HONEST.
Okay, here's the deal with the breakfast. It's...free. And it's...breakfast. It's not going to win any awards, but it'll keep the wolves (or the hunger pangs) at bay. Expect the usual suspects: the pre-packaged muffins that look like they were born in a factory, the questionable scrambled eggs (I’ve always suspected they're somehow powered by science), the slightly-too-strong coffee (which, honestly, is sometimes exactly what you NEED after the aforementioned Browns game).
Pro Tip: Scope out the waffle maker early. It's the clear winner. Just…keep an eye on it. I once saw this kid try to make a waffle so thick, it practically broke the machine. It was a sight to behold. Also, the fruit? Go for the oranges. They at least *look* fresh.
What's the Wi-Fi Situation Like? Can I Actually, You Know, *Work*?
Ah, the modern traveler’s dilemma. The Wi-Fi… It's usually there. It's...present. But whether it's going to consistently support you streaming HD video of your cat videos is a whole other question. I mean, let's be real, it's a *Comfort Inn*. It's not a data center.
I've had some good experiences, where I actually managed to get some real work done, answering emails while staring at the ceiling because my deadlines are always so close. And I've had…less productive experiences. One time, trying to upload a particularly large file? Let's just say I ended up re-reading everything ever written about Cleveland history while I waited. Consider this a *feature*, I guess? Forced downtime? Maybe bring a book, just in case.
Are the Rooms Clean? Because, I’m a Germaphobe. (Or, at Least, *Considerably* Hygiene-Conscious.)
Alright, alright, let's address the elephant in the room (or, potentially, under the bed: cleanliness. From my experiences, the rooms are generally *acceptably* clean. No, you're probably not going to find a stray Cheerio under the bed, but maybe a few small dust bunnies? I'd say the cleanliness is what you would expect of a Comfort Inn. Maybe ask the front desk for extra sanitizing hand towels before you go running around.
I will say I once went to the bathroom and saw a small, almost invisible spot on the bathroom mirror. I almost lost it. I had to take a deep breath and come back later. It was gone. The next time after, the spot was back. That was a rough week. But, in conclusion, bring your own travel-sized Clorox wipes. It's just good practice, people, and will give you extra piece of mind.
What's Around the Hotel? Is there anything to do besides, you know, *sleep*?
Okay, Mayfield Heights is not exactly Vegas. But, hey, it's Cleveland! It's got what you need. You've got your usual assortment of chain restaurants within a short drive (Olive Garden, Applebee's, etc. – you know the drill), plus some local places to try. Some of those places are *very* local and some are *very* good.
You're also close to the major highways. You can reach downtown Cleveland in, oh, 20-30 minutes (depending on traffic, obviously). You can go to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, or catch a Guardians game, or… (sigh) go see the Browns play, if you are a true glutton for punishment. I'd suggest it, actually. There are worse places to be. Honestly, Cleveland has a certain grit and charm that'll sneak up on you. Just…don't expect to be *thrilled* by the immediate surroundings. It's a base of operations, people.
What's the Deal with the Pool? Is it Refreshing or Reeking of Chemicals?
Okay, the pool. Let's talk about the pool. The pool is…there. It's an indoor pool, which means it's good for all weather. And from what I've heard, it's sometimes refreshing. Sometimes it's a bit…chlorine-y. Look, I don't have a degree in pool chemistry, okay? I’m just a guy who likes to swim.
The temperature is also a factor. One time, I went to test the temperature with my poor nose and literally sneezed while my sunglasses fell into the pool. It was embarrassing. Anyway, bring goggles. And maybe a small hazmat suit, just in case. Just kidding! (mostly). But check it out before you jump in, if you're particular. I mean, I'm not! But you should be.
Parking? Is it a Nightmare Like Downtown Cleveland?
Blessedly, no. Parking at the Comfort Inn is generally pain-free. Unlike trying to navigate the metered madness of downtown Cleveland during rush hour (shudders). There's a decent-sized lot, and in my experience, I've never had a problem finding a space. So, you know, consider that a win. A small, parking-related win, but a win nonetheless!
Once, I saw a guy try to park a HUGE pickup truck sideways across two spots, blocking everyone. And then the next day, he tried the same thing, but his truck was gone. I have no idea what happened, and honestly, I didn't ask. It's just another one of those Cleveland mysteries I'll never solve.
