Safe and sufficient

It’s a sufficient one night stop for a trip. No pool. Believe they are under fairly new management and are trying their hardest to upgrade but you can feel it in some parts of the hotel (bathroom trim, side chairs are stained and yucky).

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This place is pretty bad. My room is old and dingy. There was no breakfast - something about a permit? When I checked in no one told me anything about breakfast, check-out or any amenities. There is no phone in the room so I couldn’t call the front desk to ask anything unless I looked up the number and called from my cell. There’s a beat-up old plank of wood crookedly screwed to the wall as a shelf in the bathroom, but it’s got some white chalky substance all over it. Towels are very old and dingy - no fluff here! Must admit the bed was comfortable and I slept relatively well. No coffee pot but there is a small microwave and a pretty big fridge. I guess it could be worse. I did have a place to stay that felt relatively safe, so there’s that.

Perfect for our needs

We stopped here for one night while on a roadtrip with our dog. The place was clean, quiet and it looks like it was recently renovated. The staff was super friendly and check in/out was a breeze. It's not the fanciest hotel, but it's met all of our needs perfectly!

I love that there were no rugs. It served our purpose. The chair in the room had stains and the desk chair could be replaced. Older dresser, bathroom door could be replaced. There was an ironing board but no iron. Front desk did give me a blow dryer. Staff was courteous. No ice machine but provided ice from kitchen.

Nice for the price

It was a good hotel for the price. The staff was very nice and accommodating, they took care of all our needs. We had a slow draining shower the first morning, I told one of the staff and they had it taken care of by the time we returned that evening. The breakfast was very basic, pastries, waffles, cereal, fruit, etc…The hotel itself could use some sprucing up but it was clean.

This hotel desperately needs some upgrades. It is clean and the staff were all very helpful and welcoming. They need better lighting in their parking lot. The breakfast was pretty bad; just pre-packaged muffins and oatmeal. Akron is a dying city and the area is sketchy. The hotel clearly does things to mitigate this like lots of cameras and lots of exits but only one entrance; however the guest should be warned, I don’t think there is a nice part of Akron.

Very pleasent stay. Frendly staff. Decent pricing. Dogs are welcome. They have dog grass areas for them. Plentiful parking. Secure room access as only enter hotel though front but can exit by all other doors. Will stay there again.

Had to ask for additional towels, only provided one incomplete set, as well as extra blanket as not provided in room. Bed uncomfortable and old. Room spelled like cigarette smoke and staff acknowledged it did.
