This past November, my mom and I had the pleasure of visiting Cleveland, Ohio. I had never been there before and had no expectations, but I left with a love for this city and I cannot wait to go back! I highly recommend coming during the Holidays. Although it is extremely cold, seeing all of their Holiday decor was worth it. Unfortunately we were only in town for a quick weekend, so here is a short tour guide for 48 hours in Cleveland! *** All pictures are taken by me!
Where to stay:

We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Cleveland at The Arcade. The Arcade is one of Cleveland’s landmarks that is actually a shopping mall with shops and restaurants! I give this hotel a 10/10. It was simply gorgeous. The rooms were clean and the staff were professional and accommodating. This hotel was also very affordable. The prices range from around $120 to $160 a night depending on the dates.
What to do:
Visit The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
This is a must see! I don’t want to spoil it for anyone, but this place was incredible. They have memorabilia from hundreds of artists and the music will have you feeling nostalgic. My mom and I literally sat in a room listening to music from the 50’s to the 90’s for an hour and had the best time reminiscing. General Admission tickets are $26.00 for adults. Don’t forget to check out the gift shop for some great souvenirs!



Explore the city! If you can visit during early December, I’d recommend attending Cleveland’s annual Holiday CircleFest! They go all out with their decorations!




Where to eat:
My mom and I didn’t have time to try as many food places as we would have liked to while in Cleveland, but here are two spots we loved:
Zocalo Tequileria
I found this cute Mexican food spot in downtown Cleveland. They are known for their Mexican food as well as their variety of tequila! They also had a bar where people could enjoy the football games! I got the burrito bowl and it was delicious! The food and drinks are very affordable! I definitely recommend this place!

The Chocolate Bar
Right inside of our hotel, we came across the Chocolate Bar. Unfortunately we were only there for a quick breakfast and didn’t get to indulge in their famous deserts or drinks! Although my breakfast was still great, the desert and chocolate martinis look mouth-watering, so I’d recommend planning to come for dinner or even just a quick treat! The prices are also very affordable!

If you ever make your way to Cleveland, I hope this helps you with your trip! Enjoy! XOXO, Lacey
