We were in town for a Cleveland downtown wedding. the location was not far from the highway, which was convenient. The neighborhood is on the edge of Lakewood, so not the best, but not the worst. Pros and cons of the house:
Pros:
~it is big, and big enough for families with 3 floors of bedrooms
~the house was clean as far as kitchen, bedrooms, living rooms
~the beds were comfortable and had very nice linens
~there were towels in each room, which was appreciated.
~there was a driveway that fit at least 2-3 cars, which was appreciated.
~there was a washer and dryer, and there was soap there, which was appreciated.
~it is an old house, so has some character
~the price was very good
Cons:
~it is an old house, so there are things that are very worn out
~The bathroom in the very top (attic), did not have a light in the shower and it was extremely dark, and there was no toilet up there, and no door on the shower area
~there were broken blinds lying on the floors
~at least 90% of the blinds were broken as far as slats missing, broken, etc. and there were no curtains on any of the windows in the bedrooms, which would have helped. And the blinds were not good quality to begin with. They were yellow, old and plastic.
~There were no garbage bags anywhere on either floor
~there was adequate kitchen ware, but only 2 coffee cups in the lower level and a few more in the upper level. For such a big house that can hold so many people, it would have helped to have more.
~the instructions for how to the lock the house were a little confusing. We discovered on our own that the deadbolt had to be turned a certain way and then you could pull it shut, rather than the way it was described.
~there was mold on the shower curtain liner in the downstairs (which is an easy fix)
All in all, it was fine for what it cost. But the fixes seemed to be something that could have been remedied for not a lot of money (blinds, shower curtain, curtains). The manager Billy was very responsive when I messaged him, which was appreciated. Overall, I would stay here again with a big group if I knew the window and shower curtain were fixed.
