Northwest Akron hotel rooms a the Independent

"After reading some of the previous reviews I was expecting some issues, but still booked due to location next to the hockey rink my son was playing at, and rooms at $45/night (on a Wednesday.) We were greeted with a cheerful and efficient front desk person, the lobby was nice, there were hot coffee/water machines, the elevators were fine, our connecting rooms were clean and bug-free, furnishings and carpet were clean, room temperature controls were great, all lamps and fridge and TV's worked, plumbing was fine, beds and pillows were comfortable, the entire place was quiet... I am still trying to figure out what people were complaining about. Maybe some rooms are more updated than others, and weekend nights are more rowdy, but I have no idea. At any rate, if you are staying mid-week, take advantage of the amazing rates. "
