Top Downtown Akron Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Akron South

10/10 Excellent

"The location was great. We liked the layout of the room with the little TV area and furniture separate from the bedroom. Breakfast was very nice especially the fresh fruit."

Spark by Hilton Akron Fairlawn

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was the best part of the hotel! They were exceptional friendly and accommodating! The room was clean, but lacked some things like a microwave and a makeup mirror. Parking was excellent. Breakfast was good. I did miss not having bananas! I wasn’t eating much but probably it lacked some items if I could eat more. Colleen was a excellent host in the breakfast room, very friendly and helpful."

Cambria Hotel Akron - Canton Airport

8/10 Good

"The property was new, clean and well maintained. Breakfast was a little buffet for $10, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon and tots with toast. We had a suite on the far end. You could hear the highway noise in the sitting/television area but not in the bedroom. Shower pressure was not good in that room, 133. Overall, a nice place to stay but I would try a different room"

Comfort Inn Hall of Fame

8/10 Good

"They were accommodating for our late arrival. Staff was helpful during our stay. Water for shower was good and hot and plenty of ice. Initially not enough towels or toilet paper but was taken care of upon request. Only complaint was the breakfast. Not very appetizing and ran out of coffee. We ate elsewhere."
