That's great that you know about the trapezoidal rooms! If I stayed at that Hyatt a second time, I think I'd request one of the 11 (or 33) rooms again. I liked the views, including the bathroom windows...which are always a pleasant surprise. (No exhibitionist jokes, please. )

In terms of Columbus v. Cleveland...I liked both cities for different reasons. Cleveland has a nice feel of diversity that I don't sense in Michigan, an appealing "urban grit" factor, and, from an architectural/city plannin perspective, a little bit more of an East Coast feel to me than other cities in the region. On the less positive side, in my pre-trip research, I found that Cleveland hyped its neighborhoods, but in reality, I felt they had consistently poor "retail/restaurant cores" in comparison to Columbus, where the neighborhoods had a much more lively feel. I imagine Columbus has some advantages over Cleveland on the economic front, so it's probably not fair to knock Cleveland too much in this area.

I don't know exactly how to explain it...I enjoyed both cities, but Cleveland was pretty much what I expected, and Columbus was a pleasant surprise.
