This is a budget option, but it was clean and comfortable. There aren't a lot of frills, but there is a basic breakfast and you can tell they are working to renovate. We will be back.

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.
