Marriott Rewards - I have a free night Cat 4 Marriott to use. Any suggestions?

I have a free 1 night certificate for a Marriott stay (up to cat 4) that myself and wife can use now through March. We live in Northeast Ohio (Stow). This would be for a little weekend getaway. We've stayed in Niagara Falls, Ont recently so looking for something closer expecially if we go in the winter (Decemeber is out-too busy). We don't care about going to a hotel just to stay at a hotel so it has to be a destination with a purpose (shopping, sightseeing and/or spa). Anyplace within an hour or so of our home would be meaningless since we'd just stay at our home.

Any suggestions? Any Marriotts near a great spa within a few hours of Northeast Ohio? Or a Marriott with a nice spa? Or, any other interesting places to see?

I would first start from here:

Not too close but I love the Renaissance ORD. Really far away but gr8 is the new Marriott YUL.

Thanks for the suggestion. We're sometimes in Chicago, but usually just at the airport for a connection, but this is good information for me to keep in mind.

The first thing I did was explore the Marriott's site about their hotels in Ohio, but still looking for personal experiences of nice weekend getaways. I think I'll check out TA forum too.

The Treasure Island Residence Inn in St. Pete, Fl.

We just spent a week here and it was a lovely property. I couldn't reccomend it strongly enough.
