The hotel sits on Country Club Boulevard in North Olmsted, an inner-ring Cleveland suburb adjacent to Great Northern Mall and within easy reach of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. The building opened as a Candlewood Suites in the early 2000s, part of the InterContinental Hotels Group's extended-stay brand at that time, and was later converted to the Sonesta Simply Suites brand following Sonesta's 2021 acquisition of the Candlewood and Staybridge portfolios in this segment.
The property is purpose-built modern construction with no historic structure preceding it. Unverified local accounts describe the discovery, during site clearing for the hotel, of a deceased woman in the surrounding wooded parcel; this story is the foundation of the hotel's haunted reputation but has not been confirmed in published news coverage during research.
Sources
Reports at the hotel cluster around two repeating phenomena: hallway drafts described by guests as cool breezes in interior corridors with no operable windows or open doors, and lights in guest rooms cycling on and off without input. A long-circulated staff account describes the sensation of cold fingers brushing the back of the neck during routine work, with no one present when the employee turned around.
A secondary recurring detail places a shadowy figure at the corner of guest vision, vanishing on direct look. Guest accounts compiled across paranormal aggregators add knocking through the night and brief tongue-clicking sounds from behind furniture.
The folkloric explanation circulating among guests and former employees attributes the activity to a woman whose body was reportedly found during the wooded parcel's clearing prior to construction, with her death described as a self-inflicted gunshot. No published news coverage from any Cleveland-area outlet corroborates this discovery, and the only sources for the claim are paranormal-tourism aggregator sites that cross-cite each other. The story should be treated as unverified user-submitted lore rather than a documented event.
Stay at the Cleveland-North Olmsted airport extended-stay hotel, formerly operated as a Candlewood Suites. Guest accounts describe lights cycling, hallway drafts, and brief shadow sightings; staff and guests have circulated these for years.

Genoa, WI

Las Vegas, NV
The Aladdin Hotel opened in Las Vegas in 1966 as a major resort and casino property. The hotel underwent renovations and continued operations until its closure in 2003. Planet Hollywood Entertainment acquired the property in 2005, completely renovating and reopening it in 2007 as Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. The 7th floor Panorama Suite emerged as the property's most paranormally active location during Aladdin Hotel operations.
Sandusky, OH
Hotel Breakers opened on June 12, 1905, inside Cedar Point amusement park near Sandusky, Ohio, designed by the Knox and Elliott architectural firm in the French chateau style. The original 600-room hotel offered running water in every room, with one hundred rooms having private baths — an amenity remarkable for its era. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and held National Historic Landmark status before delisting in 2001 due to alterations. Now owned by Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, the hotel has 669 rooms.
