    I've stayed here twice. It looks like they rotate or update some of the decor or art that they have which I really like. Entrance: The downstairs area is nicely, appointed the booth where you can sit for meals have their own TVs and in the sitting area with the larger TV there are outlets on the arms of the couch so you can charge your computer or your phone or your tablet. Patio: the patio is large and has some standing tables a few fire pits with the little glass rocks inside. It's really nice and it's close to the street so you can see people walking back-and-forth to other shops in the area. I like the patio. Location: the location is really good. It's really close to the highway and there are plenty of food options as long as you don't wait until too late. There's a food hall next-door, but it closes on Sundays at three unfortunately and 7 on weekdays. The hours may vary by season though so check their website. Parking: very hit or miss there is free parking in front of the hotel in open lots, but there are lots of other attractions in the area and if it's a busy night, it might be hard to find parking. Since most people check into hotels on weekend evenings, it's often difficult to find parking. There is a little space for you to pull into check-in and unload your luggage, but it looks like it can only hold two cars so hopefully people don't abuse it. Rooms: the rooms are good. They have plenty of outlets and charging areas also different lighting options. The main problem I've had with the rooms is that the showers the grout isn't clean and I really don't like that in my experience. The rest of the bathroom has been generally clean.

    Very much a middle of the row experience from start to finish. It was clear to me upon check-in why this hotel has a 3.5 rating on Yelp. For starters, the very first impression a guest gets is with the staff at check-in and like the other reviews mention, the customer service was subpar. Not only was it lengthy, but I was lectured on how the room was paid for (it was a work trip). Outta my hands, let's move on please. The room was nice, clean, and a great size. The WI-FI was free and worked just fine. I also liked that the room had a microwave. I stayed for two nights but opted to not have the room refreshed because they didn't stop by until late in the day (almost 4pm). The location of this hotel definitely balances things out here. There's plenty of great local shops and restaurants within walking distance. That's always a perk.

    This is my second time staying here for a business trip. The hotel is clean and quiet during the week when I stay. The staff is nice but at night they only have 1 person working so be patient. I love the fact there is a restaurant across the parking lot and one next door so you dont have to walk too far. There is a restaurant in house but due to Covid its only open for breakfast. This is my go to in the are.

    This location was a little uncomfortable feeling at first but after a bit I didn't mind so much. When I got to the room, I was impressed with the set up. I had a desk, couch, fridge, microwave, etc. I came here on business so was working most of the time and didn't stay in my room very much. The room temperature control was a bit difficult. It was freezing in there and I could not knock the chill off that first night. It was set to 72 deg but the furnace was blowing cool air. I turned it up to 78 and it finally got comfortable enough to sleep. I am certain it didn't get to that temperature but I wouldn't have been able to breathe. I typically sleep in a 70 deg room. The shower was weird. There was not a door. Just V a piece of glass that went halfway through the shower. It splattered everywhere. The shower and bathroom floor was slippery as though it had corner on it. I had to be super careful not to slip. The complementary lotion was nearly empty when I got there. The fridge was super small. Could barely hold to go container. I had put in a request before arrival for non feather pillows and they weren't there. So I had to call for them which kept me up another 20 minutes out so. They tell you about their little bistro for moving breakfast and coffee but when I t tired to order coffee the guy tells me he can't do specialty coffees that day (note, I was ordering off their menu) I have to give them props for one thing. I left my watch in the room and checked out and they held it for me until I could come back later that evening.

    It's so refreshing to find a hotel of this caliber in the downtown area of Akron, it's actually the best hotel I know of in Akron. I love the location which is less than one mile from the heart of the city and will be very convenient once they get the road construction completed around the city. There are a few restaurant choices within a stones throw of the front entrance one upper end modern restaurant D.B.A. and across the street is the infamous Luigi's Italian restaurant (cash only). I love that they have a Starbucks in the lobby that opens at 6:30 AM and you can also grab breakfast from the same counter, the breakfast sandwiches are delicious or you can choose from the normal Starbucks offerings. I found the entire hotel to be well maintained and very clean unlike one of the previous reviewers (maybe that review corrected the matter). The rooms are set up for the business traveler complete with refrigerator and microwave. There were plenty of receptacles throughout the room and a very large walk-in shower. The staff could not have been more friendly and accommodating. If there were any negatives for me it was the parking there is a public parking out front which seemed to always be filled and a remote parking lot offsite which I thought was odd there are a few spaces around the back but not so convenient either. This hotel worked perfect for me and I'm definitely choosing to stay here when in the area...

    Beautiful hotel and excellent staff! The front desk woman was especially accommodating with my various requests. The room was lovely and met all my expectations. I loved the walk in huge shower the most! And breakfast was simply delightful. I did end the evening in the speakeasy and it was awesome! The drinks were to die for!

    We checked in on Friday night for a Saturday wedding. There were at least 3 other weddings that weekend so it seemed, as the lobby was full but only one person was at the front desk the entire weekend. By Saturday morning only 1 of the 2 elevators for the entire hotel worked. It then turned into the waiting game and even housekeeping had to wait for the elevator. The cleanliness of the rooms was also poor as you can see from the pictures. All of the bedding was dirty prior to. The positive if the hotel was that it was a good quiet environment even with all the families and the housekeeping staff was nice.

    Clean but not near anything. Doesn't really accommodate the travelers very much. Too far from downtown with all the construction.

As far as service, Julie, is on point. She's super cool & collect and just a great person in general. She's very attentive to detail and can recommend a great entree based on how you're feeling that particular day. Overall, the staff is amazing. Per the two above (Sam & Julie) the Blu-Tique is a place to stop for a drink and bite to eat...service is hands down phenomenal. Additional: While in the Akron area, other props go to Luigi's Restaurant, Totally Baked, and El Patron. There's a bunch of great places, but these all stood out for the few days I was there & did not disappoint. Five Stars Regardless: I'm a person who likes stairs so keep in mind, the elevators are a bit slow and at this time that I stayed there, only one elevator was in service. I like stairs so this was no problem for me. This has no reflection on the staff & the cost to update is massive expensive, but that would be my only upgrade recommendation. The outdoor courtyard on Blu-Tique was great and rooms are nice!

Only 1 elevator works, ever, a huge problem, for cleaning staff and hotel guests. The parking area is filthy, although owned by the city, perhaps, it needs attention. The street out front to walk to any restaurant near the hotel, does not feel safe at all at night. Homeless everywhere, to a great part of town. And the hotel rooms are antiquated, small and no where to even open a suitcase. I'm a Marriott member, but this hotel is a bad mark on quality for this brand.

In the lobby, there's a marble staircase that splits into two. It's not huge, but it's there. And I bet it's better than what you've got. And it descends into a really awesome restaurant that's built on top of the river rapids and waterfalls and nature, and it's fantastic. And they keep the lights down low, so it's very romantic. The food is awesome too. It's a little expensive but not bad for the experience. The actual hotel has a 60-foot lap pool. It's not deep but swimming laps isn't an honorable use of time anyway, so don't complain about it. It's great for kids. They've got a fitness center if you want to actually do some exercise, and the fitness center overlooks the pool. Two things here: they have a sauna but it's out of order. I suspect it's been out of order for a looooooong time. And then the hot tub is also pictured on the site, but is now covered over. But you know, I guess that's kind of alright, because when the hotel was built, those were things, but in 2026, maybe we don't need to be that close to other people's butt cheeks in a confined space. The rooms are nice. Not like, Vegas-nice, but definitely more than National-Park-nice. And if you get a room facing the falls, you also get the white noise of the waterfalls, which is pretty awesome - not to mention the view of the falls. The hotel, being built along the side of the river, has many different views of the falls, from the restaurant and the rooms, to the deck of the pool, the attached bar, and the walking-path under the road to the plaza to the north. You can take this either way, and it can be a fun place to base a family trip out of, or you could spend a romantic weekend here. Or you could have a conference here. A romantic one even. o_O Finally, the people here are SUPER professional and helpful. I honestly think they're TOO professional. I'm just a common man. I don't need too much fanciness. They treated me like I was the president. Not the current president, but a decent president, and I shouldn't be treated like that. I just need the keys and I can wander around like an idiot and figure things out. They made sure I knew everything I needed to know, and then you're immediately super comfortable. This is a great place. Sometimes bad things happen. You can't listen to these reviews that are like "THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE I FOUND A CANDY BAR ON THE GROUND" somebody just dropped it there. The entire world isn't constantly monitored for your mild inconveniences. You didn't die. Move past it.

I learned this when I drove with him on Monday. You need to hear this story: I called when I landed in CAK airport asking if the property could send the airport shuttle as it is advertised to have. I heard the hesitation in Deon's voice and as he told me that there was an issue, but if I could give him 5 minutes, he'd call me back. I told him there was a different Marriot nearby and not to worry, I'd simply go elsewhere. He said, "no, don't do that ... just 5 minutes, I'm going to figure this for you sir". Whatever. That's cool. He sounded like he wanted to help and that's surely worth 5 minutes of my time for his investment in my problem. When he called me back, he said "Mr. Bain, our shuttle isn't yet in-service and I don't have anyone available to work the front desk for another few minutes, but I called one of my other workers to cover for me and I'm coming in my personal car to pick you up. This is the kind of can-do attitude that I look for when hiring on my team and really refreshing as the US, once known for its customer service, has surely waned over the years. On the drive, he shared with me the new role he has at the property and about how he sees opportunity to institute better processes at this and the others under the management company's umbrella he might be offered in the future. Thinking about process improvement in a hotel chains is generally as exciting to me as looking at my parent's photos of an antique store they once visited, but he was glowing about the opportunity; so much so, that I actually felt excited with him. That attitude + aspiration is a winning formula. I have little doubt he'll have a region or a district under his purview in 2-5 years. Kudos Deon.

After a long day of travel, my family arrived to an incredibly disappointing experience from the start. One employee was openly hitting on guests, which was uncomfortable and unprofessional. We were then informed that the elevator was not functioning properly and had to be manually opened for us every time we needed to go upstairs. The pull-out sofa was essentially unusable because the springs were so pronounced. When we asked the manager and staff for help, we received virtually no assistance and no meaningful effort to resolve the situation. It was so bad that I ultimately left the hotel in the middle of the night and booked a room at the Hampton Inn across the street, where the staff was wonderful and accommodating. If you are traveling with a family, I strongly recommend staying somewhere else. This property and its staff fell far below what I have come to expect from Marriott.

The tubs have an anti-slip bottom that doesn't quite get clean and now looks permanently stained and dirty. The rest of the room is standard Hampton Inn. However, because of the fan issue in the bathroom, the room easily becomes humid. So, you need to run the AC and thus the room stays cold.

We had the same bathroom fan issues in both rooms and in our daughter's room.
