Top Kent State University Hotel Reviews

The Aurora - a Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"very nice hotel. Helpful staff as we checked in late. No elevator which I would’ve appreciated carrying luggage up the stairs. Also shower was a little awkward in that the showerhead was very low and the water regulator had no hard stop on hot or cold. Otherwise, a good clean and convenient hotel, especially for the price."

Spark by Hilton Akron Fairlawn

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff, clean room"

Courtyard by Marriott Akron Stow

8/10 Good

"The property overall is outdated. It didn't bother me though because the hotel is very clean. The staff were wonderful. I was checked in right away and before check in time started. The restaurant was closed, but the front desk person went over there to grab me a cup of ice anyway. After getting my key and heading up to the 4th floor (the top floor), we noticed multiple bleach stains on the carpet in the hallway. Our room was spacious but lacked seating. There was a single chair in the corner and then a chair at the table. The bathroom was clean but definitely showed signs of wear and tear. There was a patch placed on the shower wall. The tub water handle was very tricky to use. We spun it around so many times trying to find the hot water setting, half of our stay we never found it and took a cool shower. There was mini fridge in the room that worked well. No microwave unfortunately. I didn't mind the bed firmness, but everyone else in my party said the beds were too firm and uncomfortable. It was a quiet hotel. We didn't hear any noise outside or in the rooms around us. There is a lot to do in the area. You can walk to a gas station and a McDonald's, and cross the street for more food options. Please visit Jenni's bakery across the street. She bakes delicious things. Jenni and her sister are super nice and helpful! I guess I didn't realize there wasn't free breakfast at this hotel. Finding a grocery store or a restaurant wasn't too far of a drive (15 min drive to a Meijer)."

"The morning breakfast staff were fantastic. I regret that I did not get the name of the lady who was serving the morning of 10/11/26. She was so sweet and helpful. Food was great and the area was spotless. She told me she had been working there for 11 years..she takes pride in her work. She is also very cheerful and welcoming. Several guests commented about how cheerful she was. Simply delightful!! We were in town for a wedding. Thank you comfort inn staff!! Special thank you to lovely lady who served breakfast. She may have been training another lady..very sweet, kind, thoughtful, and smiling!!!!!"
