    At StayWithJay, all matters about your reservation — check-in/check-out, refunds, early/late access, amenities, or permissions — must be handled only through your guest portal or the booking platform’s messaging system.

    Our hosts and team members may gladly chat with you about the weather, share a friendly hello, or even offer you a cup of tea. But the moment a question relates to your booking, you will be directed back to your guest portal or booking app.

    🚫 Do not approach hosts, cleaning staff, or maintenance personnel for reservation decisions.
    ✅ Do send a message through Airbnb, Vrbo, or email so we can assist you promptly and document everything properly.

    This ensures consistency, protects your booking, and keeps our team focused on making your stay enjoyable.

    Welcome to Cleveland’s Big Weekend – Morgan Wallen in town

     

    Welcome to Cleveland’s Big Weekend

    Cleveland is buzzing with major events – including the Morgan Wallen concert – and demand is sky-high. If you booked with us, you made a smart choice.

    I’m Jay, founder of StayWithJay.com. We provide clean, safe, private, budget-friendly rooms, suites, and homes in Cleveland, plus stays in São Paulo and Mexico.

    This weekend’s rates are higher than usual – but still a fraction of what big-name hotels are charging for the same event.

    When you leave your review, please rate us in context: for the product we offer, the comfort we deliver, and the value you received.

    Same event. Same city. More money in your pocket.

     

  • Welcome to Cleveland’s Big Weekend – and Yes, the Rates Are Real

    Welcome to Cleveland’s Big Weekend – and Yes, the Rates Are Real

    Welcome to Cleveland’s Big Weekend – and Yes, the Rates Are Real

    Hey Cleveland travelers – welcome to one of the busiest weekends this city has seen in years! Between the Morgan Wallen concert and several other major events, the city is alive, sold out, and buzzing.

    And yes, if you’ve noticed your booking was higher than usual, you’re not imagining it.


    Who We Are

    I’m Jay, founder of StayWithJay.com. We specialize in clean, private, modern, budget-friendly accommodations – from rooms and suites to entire apartments and homes in the greater Cleveland area.

    We also offer similar stays in São Paulo, Brazil (a little more upscale, but still affordable) and Mexico (with a touch more luxury).


    Why the Prices Jumped

    Our pricing follows an algorithm. This weekend’s surge is the single most dramatic daily increase I’ve seen in eight years of hosting. On a typical weekend, you might see rates from $40–$70 per night. This weekend? $250–$400 – and still cheaper than the $1,500 some folks paid at the Marriott for the exact same event.

    The reality is simple: it’s supply and demand. And you’re here for something amazing.


    Context Is Everything

    Glass half full, glass half empty – you choose.

    You can say, “I paid $400 for a budget place,” or you can say, “I paid $400 and still got safety, privacy, and comfort while others paid triple.”

    That perspective matters – especially when you leave your review.


    Why Your Review Matters

    We rely on accurate, contextual reviews to connect with the right future guests. Rate us for what we offer, the crowd we serve, and the experience we deliver – not compared to a luxury brand we never claimed to be.

    Proactivity is the best remedy. If I can convince even one of you to rate us fairly and in context this weekend, it will make a huge difference for travelers like you finding us in the future.


    Final Word

    We’re glad you’re here. The market is the market – and we’d be fools to drop prices on the busiest weekend of the year.

    Enjoy the show. Enjoy Cleveland. And remember – same event, same city… but a lot more money left in your pocket.
