Loved the nice staff and breakfast. Other than the banging on my door by some staff saying they’ll call the cops because of smoke coming from my room at midnight. When it was a couple doors down who was eventually caught. Kind of looks sketchy on the outside but much better when you get inside your room.

The property was less than 15 minutes from Akron Civic Theatre, a big plus. The staff were nice. Rooms were spotless. The breakfast area was also very clean. Breakfast was plentiful and nice. The door closest to our room was inaccessible, which prompted the fewer stars. I would stay here again.
