Comfort Inn & Suites Cuyahoga Falls - Akron
Breakfast was fresh, the room was clean, the staff was so friendly and parking felt safe! We were very comfortable during our stay. The flooring was well worn in the high traffic areas. That's it. Otherwise it was a great stay!

Cambria Hotel Akron - Canton Airport
We were displaced due to a power outage. This hotel was basic. The bed was uncomfortable, sheets were scratchy and thin. All towels were very stiff. It felt cheap for the price but functional.
