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.

The staff was wonderful and the bar was great. We were given an ADA room, I assume because we booked the day before. The bathroom door was a challenge to close and very creaky. The shower was less than clean. I would stay there again but not in that room.

I loved the hotel decor, the historic look and feel of the hotel. I did not like having to walk from the garage to the hotel. After you park your car, you have to walk through a connecting hallway to enter the hotel courtyard. This hallway was filthy and odorous. Seeing this area as your first exposure to the hotel gave me a very negative impression of it. This garage area needs extensive renovation to improve the overall impression of the hotel. One elevator was not working and once on it, you had to go up then go down to reach your destination. The room was beautiful, comfortable and expansive. The hotel is centrally located to restaurants, shopping and entertainment in the downtown area. There was confusion about my reservation through Expedia saying I could not stay at the hotel, but the hotel saying there was no issue with my reservation. I was very concerned and confused about the hotel booking and it felt like a scam to me. I did not contact Expedia for this reason. You may want to investigate because it creates a bad impression and reputation for your outstanding hotel.
