But don't fret just yet because Ohio is loaded with places to stay for guests of every type. Now, all you have to do is a bit of research ahead of time and you will be able to give the appropriate advice when Martha requests a bed with 250 thread count sheets and a chocolate on her pillow each night.
Getting Organized
One of the first few steps you need to take is to locate lodging near to your reception site. This makes traveling after the night's festivities more convenient for guests, and it keeps the weekend's events within close proximity of one another.Once you have chosen a few sites that you would like to research, call the locations and ask about discount rates for large parties of guests who may be staying for several nights. Many hotels and inns will accommodate such a request if it is bringing in a considerable amount of business.
If you can narrow the possibilities down to a few options, then consider sending along the information with the invitations and allow guests to book their rooms in advance. You may also want to list on your wedding Web site -- an option many web-savvy couples have taken advantage of -- the available choices with a quick blurb about what they have to offer your guests.
A Suitable Stay for Practical Guests
Sometimes the ideal location for guests is a basic hotel. Well, for the guests who desire a little bit more, (like a continental breakfast and a concierge) Ohio has many options.If your big day is in downtown Cleveland, then the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel is a gorgeous option, complete with plush surroundings, fine in-house dining and a short walk to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Popular hotels outside of the Cleveland area include the Cleveland Marriot East in Warrensville Heights and the Hilton Akron/Fairlawn. Cincinnati and Dayton wedding guests can shack up at the Cincinnati Marriot Rivercenter, which is surrounded by a view of the Ohio River and fabulous skyline scenery.
