Top Downtown Akron Hotel Reviews

Spark by Hilton Akron Fairlawn

8/10 Good

"Nice clean place and friendly folks. Don’t expect much in the way of breakfast."

The Aurora - a Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"First advice for fellow travelers: if you’re a swimmer, pack a suit. The pool at this property is exceptional for lap swimming. This was my second stay at this property this year. I appreciate a non-chain place that has found a place in its community, and this one definitely has. I have now skipped the bar/food scene here twice, but both times it looked lively and appealing. On both occasions, I was traveling a distance, so I was less inclined to partake, but it is clearly part of the appeal. The rooms are comfortable. The staff is very welcoming, and has both times demonstrated a pleasant sense of humor. The accommodation is a good value. The one missing element is a breakfast offering, but there are good options a short drive away. I would return."
