The Ritz-Carlton, Cleveland

The staff was really nice and helpful, very clean and upscale dinning and atmosphere. The room was excellent!!

Nice The people we encountered at the hotel were great...but I received many communications prior to coming and requested a crib in the room. I received confirmation that it was all set...and then the room did not have one. It seems like they might have been a little off or short staffed the night we were there. That said, everyone we encountered was extremely nice. The rooms are different than the pictures-smaller, different furniture. The bathroom is really beautiful.

Good luck. Management is lacking. Person at front desk was rude upon check-in. $700.00 room was dirty, dusty and had handprints all over the mirror and wine glasses. Asked to speak to a manager and there was no manager on duty. Left my cell number and name for the manager to call and it's been 3 days with no call. Give me a break.

Third time staying at this property. The staff members are always kind, helpful, and very accommodating. Elizabeth and Brandon were wonderful as always! It's located directly in Tower City. Prime location for anything downtown especially if you're going to Rocket Mortgage or Progressive Field! Thank you for another wonderful stay!

Magnificent hotel in the center of Cleveland. Outstanding views, friendly efficient service. Best chef in the midwest.

We stayed at this Ritz-Carlton pre-Covid, and loved it. Sadly, service has deteriorated notably. It’s still a physically luxurious hotel and in a good location, extremely convenient for events at Progressive Field or Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, which are connected via internal walkway from Tower City Center. The room itself (Premier Deluxe) was large, comfortable and well-furnished with an actual 6-drawer dresser, so plenty of space to put our clothes. Plus drawers and electrical outlets at each bedside, good lighting, 6 pillows, lots of counter space in the spacious dual-vanity bath, though minimal amenities, no cotton swabs or pads or makeup remover cloths. And some of the staff still try very hard to provide a luxury hotel experience. There were just too many missteps marring the overall impression. These are mostly minor annoyances, and if we were staying at a mid-market hotel, I would more easily overlook them. But they are charging Four Seasons prices, without delivering Four Seasons service. 1. I extended my reservation, and had to book the additional two days separately to keep existing pricing on the other two. I asked the agent if she could link the two, and mentioned it again in my prearrival questionnaire. But when I checked in, she said it was for 2 nights – then she noted the other reservation and spent some time “linking” them, but said our keys would stop working on the third day and we would need to come to the desk to get them reactivated that morning, she couldn’t do it now. I’ve never seen a hotel so unable to cope with extending a reservation. 2. I had also made a room location request in my prearrival questionnaire, which was not mentioned at check-in. When I remembered after getting to our room and called to ask about it, she said no Premier Deluxe rooms were available on the floor I requested (where our friends were). It would have been nice if she’d at least acknowledged the request and apologized for not being able to fulfill it, and given me an opportunity to make a choice between room type and location. 3. No recognition of us as returning guests, just a rote “thank you for your loyalty” after she asked if we’d been there before. 4. The room was full of warning signs…don’t take the big bottles of shampoo, they will charge you $68 a bottle; don’t touch the minibar items or you’ll be charged, don’t put anything of your own in the fridge or you’ll be charged $50! Also a cryptic warning on the in-room safe referring to state liability laws. No restaurant or room service menus, just a QR code. It gave Holiday Inn vibes. 5. The room had only one bathrobe. I called to request a second robe and half a dozen hangers. When I called a bit later to report that the battery on the safe was dead, he asked if I’d received those items. Nope. He said he’d follow up, and a few minutes later someone delivered the robe and four hangers – I guess six was too much? 6. The next day, we reminded them at midday about the safe batter
