Top Downtown Akron Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Akron Stow

8/10 Good

"Very convenient for us when visiting family. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Starbucks breakfast is great. Especially the French toast!"

BLU-Tique, Akron, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The whole property is just cool. I’ve stayed twice and had two different room types. Both were gorgeous and well appointed and very quiet, especially for the suite, they have thought of everything. It’s a great parking situation. Walkable to additional high caliber, coffee shops, and other important downtown Akron stops."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cleveland Macedonia

8/10 Good

"My wife and I used to Manage a motel years ago so we are subjective I guess. All in all La Quinta was a nice place, we’ve stayed here many times at this particular hotel and are fine with what we see. Yes it’s not perfect but the rooms were clean and bathrooms were also. Breakfast in morning had the usual fare which was also fine and the ladies were always making sure it was stocked. We will stay here again in the future."

Comfort Inn & Suites Akron South

10/10 Excellent

"For the price this was a great place. The beds initially felt hard, but were actually very comfortable (I have a top end mattress at home). Room & common areas were clean. Breakfast was one of the best I’ve had in a hotel. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. The only downside, we were on the 2nd floor and could hear those in the room above walking around."
