Cleveland

"The Capitol Limited arrives into Cleveland at 1:45 a.m. ET while its counterpart heads west through the stop just before 3 a.m. Amtrak’s stop in Cleveland is at the thoroughly depressing Lakefront Station, which is tucked into a corner in the shadow of the Cleveland Browns’ stadium. It is a largely underserving station for a large city, but has the basics of a waiting room, checked baggage and restrooms. It is only open during the middle of the night when trains arrive and passengers have to cross the local public transit’s RTA Rapid tracks to get to the building. As the former suggests, there is a direct connection at a station walking distance from Lakefront to the RTA Rapid, however, those trains do not run while Amtrak drops off. With all of this being said, Lakefront is actually a fairly easy and safe walk to hotels with several within 10 minutes. It is also walking distance to waterfront dining and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The staff at the station are also very nice and helpful. I had a situation with a lost checked bag. The station agent correctly assumed that it was put on the Lake Shore Limited instead of the Capitol Limited. When it, thankfully, arrived a few hours later, the station agent called me immediately."
