Top Kent State University Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Akron Canton Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was great, the women working were incredible. The hotel was exceptionally clean."

Cambria Hotel Akron - Canton Airport

8/10 Good

"The room was spacious and the beds were comfortable, the room clean but there were areas that it could have been better. The coffee maker had stuff growing on it, the sink looked spotty, the bed skirts were tucked in but not on the beds properly. The room just needed a little TLC and updated."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Cleveland/Solon

8/10 Good

"Room was very clean, staff were a delight, breakfast tasted alright but it seems they were short staffed those days. Haven’t tried the hot tub or swimming pool, but they looked great. Probably would have used them if I stayed for a longer period of time."
