Quality Inn & Suites Richfield

8/10 Good

"Staff were very friendly and helpful. Amenities are very fun. Would love to see it receive updates because it’s a wonderful hotel. It’s just very outdated. Very clean though! Have stayed multiple times. Hot tub is more of a warm tub and needs to be hotter!"

The Aurora - a Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"The new Aurora Inn seems strained as it calls itself a “boutique hotel.” Staff is very pleasant, yet still figuring out how to describe the town, replenish weak coffee in the lobby, make change. As overnight guests, without previous reservations in the restaurant, we were seated awkwardly on the patio. Nice clean room, lovely lobby area, historic homes and taverns in town."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Akron Canton Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient location close to a lot of shops and restaurants. Staff were very friendly. The beds were so comfortable and the morning breakfast was the bomb and included! Made to order omelettes and full breakfast items. Highly recommend!!!"
