Cleveland Airport Guide

Whether planning a quick transit, overnight stay, or extended layover, the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) guide by Travel Code has all the information you need. Discover insights on lounges, dining options, mobile charging, Wi-Fi facilities, nearby airport hotels, security tips, and more.

Airport Overview

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) has a medium-sized terminal layout that is simple and passenger-friendly, featuring three concourses (A, B, C) and 50 gates. Enjoy a good selection of dining establishments and retail options, complemented by free, unlimited Wi-Fi. Travelers desiring extra comfort can access one of several private airport lounges for an additional fee.

Sleeping in Cleveland Airport

Airport security checkpoints close overnight, so all passengers on layover are restricted to the public landside area. Reviews suggest the airport staff is typically accommodating to travelers sleeping overnight. Comfortable seating areas, particularly the leather booths near the food court, are good sleeping spots, although early morning noise from food outlets can interrupt sleep. Passengers are advised to bring earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones and a travel mat if planning to sleep on the floor. For restful sleep, travelers can book comfortable airport hotels through Travel Code's dedicated airport hotels page.

Airport Hotels

If airport relaxation doesn't seem appealing, several convenient airport hotels provide complimentary shuttle service. Popular choices include Aloft Cleveland Airport, Holiday Inn Express Cleveland Airport Brook Park, and Hilton Garden Inn Cleveland Airport.
