Hampton Inn Cleveland-Solon
A straightforward Solon base for the golf trip
About this hotel
Golfers basing themselves at this 3-star property in Solon are further south, a base that pairs well with other stops on a longer Cleveland golf trip. It runs as a straightforward hotel base, the kind of setup that keeps a group of eight from tripping over each other between rounds. Days here settle into a rhythm: an early breakfast, a round at the club, then back to in-room kitchens and an indoor pool before the group regroups for dinner. The indoor pool does double duty as the group's evening gathering spot on a cooler Cleveland night. LongHorn Steakhouse is 2 minutes away on foot, useful when the group wants a change of scene from the hotel restaurant. What sticks after a stay here is less the room and more the logistics working: a golf group that needed rooms, parking, and a place to reconvene found all three without friction.
- Indoor pool
- Pet-friendly rooms
- Fitness center
- Free breakfast
Our take
This is a sensible pick for a small group or a couple that wants Solon logistics sorted rather than a destination in itself and the desk's read is to book it for the convenience of the base, not for a resort experience, since it earns its keep across a multi-night stay. It suits golfers who want a simple return after a long day on the course more than travelers chasing atmosphere, and a party chasing museum-district nightlife over golf logistics should book downtown instead.
- Book two rooms early if your group is splitting a Cleveland golf weekend across Solon and a second course further south.
- Use the in-room kitchen for a shared breakfast before an early tee time instead of waiting on a hotel restaurant to open.
- Shoulder-season visits to Solon run cooler in the evening, so pack a layer for the walk between the hotel and dinner.
Why we love it
- An indoor pool for the evening after golf
- A pet-friendly policy for traveling with a dog
- A fitness center for an off day
- A base in Solon, close to the round
Why guests love itOur group of four based ourselves here for three nights of golf. Solon sat further south, useful since our trip also stopped at another course nearby, and check-in was quick enough to make the first tee with room to spare. The indoor pool became the evening routine, somewhere to sit before dinner rather than heading straight to a room. It is not a resort, and nobody expected one; it did the job of a golf-trip base and let us focus on the rounds.
