Comfort Inn & Suites Cuyahoga Falls - Akron
I got charged for staying here and I didn’t.

Best Western Plus North Canton Inn & Suites
Just subpar for the price. Bathroom wasn’t very clean. No outlet covers in the bathroom of all places. Fridge wasn’t very cold. Curtain handle to close curtain was broken off and just laying there. Pool was iced cold and very dimly lit. Might as well had been outside. Not great and won’t return.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cleveland Macedonia
Beds are awful. Like sleeping on a cardboard box. Left me with major back issues due to lack of any type of support. Breakfast items limited to powdered eggs, typical cereal choices and cheapo yogurt.
