Ohio has been called the mother of presidents, and as a perennial swing state it has hosted countless presidential campaign visits.
Hilton Cleveland Downtown
Rising beside Cleveland's convention center and overlooking Lake Erie, the Hilton Cleveland Downtown is one of the city's newest landmark hotels. On October 13, 2016, after a day that took him from Pittsburgh through Columbus in the final weeks of that year's campaign, President Barack Obama arrived in Cleveland and spent the night here. Ask for a lake-view room, then walk to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on the waterfront.
