Comfort Inn & Suites Cuyahoga Falls - Akron

10/10 Excellent

"I checked in late in the evening and only stayed one night. The AGM checked me in, she was very kind and attentive even though it was so late. I had a king room on the first floor, it was clean and comfortable. Room service knocked an hour before checkout to see if I needed anything before heading out. Checkout was also smooth and the morning staff was just as kind as the night before. I slept past breakfast, so I can’t comment on the food selections. I would stay here again and recommend. "

The Aurora Inn

4/10 Poor

"Stayed in the "pet wing", lower-level space for which the hotel tacks on an extra $80 per night. Tiny room, very dated. Bathroom even smaller. No way to navigate sink/toilet/towel rack without hitting something. Linens worn out. TV not smart. Internet very slow. Window, sill, screen filthy. The room did include a cheap plastic dog bowl. The bar and restaurant are fabulous. But I'd never stay in the hotel again nor recommend it to anyone. "

Sheraton Suites Akron Cuyahoga Falls

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here on our way back home from a trip to New York. At first we were hesitant to spend a little more come here instead of a place along the expressway, but we experienced such a relaxing evening and night that it was well worth it and I’d do it again. The hotel is very pretty. It smells so fresh. The view along the river was tranquil. The rooms were so spacious. The walls seemed thick - I did not hear another person the whole time we were in our room. The pool area was lovely and I enjoyed a half hour swim. We ordered room service from the on site restaurant and it was excellent. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast there the next morning. There were a lot of other details we really liked. I’ll just mention one more for the sake of a review that’s too lengthy: the beds!!!! So comfortable and fresh. We both slept so well. I also appreciated the generous noon check-out. We didn’t feel rushed to get out in the morning which added to our relaxing experience at this hotel. Excellent experience!"
