Cambria Hotel Akron - Canton Airport
Check in was a bit of a mess. Had to wait 20 minutes for a clean room, but when we finally got to the room, it hadn’t been cleaned. Gave us a another room with a broken toilet seat.

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.

Comfort Inn Hall of Fame
It was clean, good staff,hotel breakfast as most. I would stay there again. I would of course check prices in the area. There are a lot of hotels in that area.

DoubleTree by Hilton Canton Downtown
Did not give us new towels , but they brought some up when we called. The staff was always cleaning and working on site though. Hot tub was closed off. The pool area needs some attention but they were working on it. Could really use more parking spots.
