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.

The room was pleasant, the bed was comfortable and the continental breakfast was a little more than normal. Although my husband being hypoglycemic, we could’ve used more non-sugar options.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was huge, clean and comfortable. They are not a new place so it isn’t fancy - tiny bath towels and everything could use a new coat of paint. The only spot that was kind of gross was the lobby area - so much dust and cobwebs around the chairs and stuff. Room was cleaner than the common areas.
