Alternative Hotel Options

The Marriott Cleveland East has no more rooms at the special convention rate. There are still rooms available, but you will have to pay full price. If you are looking for alternative accommodations, here are some other hotels that are very close to the Marriott.

Meal Options for Monday Evening

For those of you who will not be attending the Maltz Museum event on Monday evening, June 23, here are some options for dinner:

There are several restaurants within walking distance from the hotel: Chipotle, Abeulo's (Mexican), Panera (soup, sandwiches, salads), DiBella's Old Fashioned Submarines, Robeks (smoothies, salads).

There are kosher restaurants in nearby suburbs, but you will need to arrange for transportation. Members of the local Convention Planning Committee and the hotel staff can assist you in acquiring transportation. Check the Spotlight Cleveland brochure for kosher and other dining options.

We are able to provide a kosher boxed meal for those who would like one, but you must order your meal by June 1st. Send your check for $20 to Marcia Klein, 4049 Hinsdale Road, South Euclid, OH 44121. Please indicate if you would like a vegetarian meal.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon in Cleveland!

Transportation Alternatives

Some folks have been asking about alternate ways to get to the hotel from the airport or from downtown Cleveland. The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority operates a bus and light rail service. The light rail is called the Rapid Transit; from the airport take the Red Line (Windermere) to Tower City (24 minutes), then transfer to the Blue Line (Van Aken) for another 24-minute ride to the end of the line. Transfer to the #24 bus (Van Aken/Tri-C) for an 11-minute ride to the Cuyahoga Community College Eastern Campus, which is right across the street from the Marriott. The Rapid and bus are only $1.75 each. For schedules and other fare options, see: http://www.gcrta.org/

Safe travels!
