Narrative:

Upon landing 23L at cleveland's hopkins airport, tower asked, 'are you aware you were cleared to land on 23R?' we answered 'no!' taxi instructions were followed and no further action was required. Events leading to the landing are as follows: 1) ATIS reported ILS 23L with a sidestep maneuver to 23R. 2) with approach control we verified the sidestep approach and the controller stated it would be a straight in approach with pilots thinking it would be to 23L. 3) after cleared for the visual approach, tower cleared us to land still thinking the runway was 23L. Both pilots never heard or remember being cleared to land on 23R. In the future, a good practice is to repeat the clearance given, especially the landing runway.
