Comfort Inn & Suites Cuyahoga Falls - Akron
This hotel covers the basics well in terms of room size and comfort, and the breakfast was a bit better than what one would expect for the food choices and service provided.

DoubleTree by Hilton Canton Downtown
The staff, and especially the manager Jen, were very helpful and attentive. Our room wasn't quite clean when we checked in, and she had the manager of housekeeping resolve the issue.

Cambria Hotel Akron - Canton Airport
Pros: Staff was very helpful. Rooms were large. Cons: No weekend breakfast buffet even tho advertised. Housekeeping failed to make up beds although they cleaned the bathroom. Close to interstate very loud -ask for a room not facing the interstate.
