Travelodge Brook Park/Cleveland Airport

Do not stay at this location!

We arrived at the location and the person at the desk was so distracted, we felt like we were intruding by simply trying to check in. The main restrooms had no toilet paper or paper towels to then dry your hands. We also arrived two hours after official check in time and were told one of the rooms wasn't ready. This highly upset my parents who are older in age. We received one of the keys and found we were placed on the second floor, which normally wouldn't be an issue, but with older parents, we needed an elevator. Except the elevator was out of order. When we arrived to the first room door, after walking down a hallway smelling of smoke and pee, we couldn't get the keys to work on the door. No matter what we did, every time the green light came on, the door refused to open. I had to go back and collect the manager and even he had trouble opening the door but then tried to make it seem as though I was the incompetent person. I then went back to collect a room key for my parents who were placed in a room on the opposite side of the building. The rooms smelled and NONE of the beds had a fitted bed sheet on them. I also found stained sheets, and hair on the sheets of my own bed. If we hadn't spent the last ten hours on the road and needed sleep so bad I would have left and demanded a refund. The pillows on the bed looked ruffled and used so I found myself cuddling my own spare sweater for a pillow and sleeping on top of the comforter. The bathroom we had, the ceiling had black mold spots that were simply painted over (as if you wouldn't notice...). I walked back down the long stretch of highway to check in on my parents and found a women in guest laundry room smoking even with all the signs posted throughout that the building was smoke free. Many employees and guests also smoked directly outside the buildings main entrances and exits.
The surrounding area is very unnerving, there was a lot of closed business and several "adult entertainment" locations that were closed down and very unpleasant looking - not at all where you would want to bring a family! The best moment of our stay was checking out by 4am the following morning and finding a breakfast place a few miles out.
