Super loud hotel, doors opening closing all night long. I am not a light sleeper, could totally hear traffic all night long. My car was broken into in “their parking garage” beware there are no cameras. Didn’t feel safe at all. Never again.

Clean & updated but the hotel charged me $250 for a “smoking fee” when my mom was not smoking inside the hotel room. She smoked outside the hotel and then brought a cup with some water in it outside with her to put her cigarette in it and throw it out in our hotel trash can. So they automatically charged me $250 since they found cigarette butts in the trash can. I tried to call them 3 times and they said they would have a manager call me back and they never did. Horrible service, won’t be going back.

Desk staff were very solicitous. Cleaning staff were fine but could be a little more detailed. Restaurant breakfast was fine but nothing special.

Was not a fan of the hours of the restaurant/bar we had to walk quite a distance to get lunch/dinner. From what I can tell it really isn’t listed anywhere that I would have to pay for parking. The windows in our room are so thin/old that while on the 3rd floor I heard a guy sneeze while he was on the sidewalk outside. Hot water with shower handle all the way to hot was barely warm enough to shower in. Kind of disappointed
Zero sound proofing.

Central location in downtown Akron, near the fabulous library. Very nice and helpful staff, with great knowledge of the area. Comfortable, spacious rooms. Only downsides: No room service, and not too many good dining options within walking distance (good local restaurants in Akron, but we had to Uber). Restaurant at the hotel had odd hours and the food was pretty low quality; it was more of a watering hole than a restaurant.
