My mom is impossible to shop for, so I was super excited when I came across this Mother's Day special on the Akron Glass Works Facebook page. It is a beautiful old church converted into and art space right off of the University of Akron campus. There were about 12 people total with two instructors for the group. They gave a demonstration and then thoroughly went over all the steps with an emphasis on safety. I was a little nervous working with molten hot glass, but the professionalism of the instructors set me at ease. They're by your side the whole time... but you're actually creating the piece yourself. I have been to other glass blowing studios where the instructors are so hands-on, that you feel like you took no part in the entire process. Not this place. I definitely felt like I was making something and they were just there to make sure I didn't burn my hand off. The whole process took less than an hour and our pieces were available for pickup the next day. We each got to make two glass flowers which all turned out beautifully. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for something different to do! We had such a great time!

Then Christian guided me through making my two glasses. I was able to choose from a variety of colors or make my own mix. I chose to mix blue and purple. Christian allowed me to do much of the work while he did the more dangerous parts while reminding me of safety. I was able to to pick up them the next day. I'm really happy with them!

The space is filled with amazing art for sale and tons of disco balls, which are completely my style. I couldn't stop taking it all in--I loved every detail! The cocktail we ordered was not only super fun but also absolutely delicious. The bartender was so kind, fun, and really added to the experience. This spot is perfect for a date or a night out with friends. Bonus: I found out there's going to be a DJ every Saturday night for the foreseeable future. If you're looking for a cool, unique place to hang out, Baxter's is definitely worth checking out! There's some pretty cool stuff goin on in Akron

I asked the cashier how much it was and she stated $17. I decided to look around the Farmers Market first and get the Tote on my way out. I came back and got the Tote, it rang up at $18 this time with tax and asked if I wanted to add a tip. I said No and continued my purchase. When I got home, I looked at the receipt and saw not only was the Tote a dollar more, but a $3.60 tip was added after I said No. I like the Tote but I do not like being ripped off.

They didn't offer any compensation to me for not getting what I paid for. Just a shoulder shrug because I checked in after 3 p.m. and they openly admitted most rooms weren't even ready at 3 p.m. So far everything about Akron is terrible. I will NEVER come back here.

Hit and miss with the staff. I was a little disappointed with the experience this time because we…read moreabsolutely loved our last visit and specifically chose this Courtyard because the staff was so friendly and helpful and the location is in such a fun spot, right next to a great restaurant, shops filled with local artists and it's right across from the container park. The night staff were pretty dismissive, one was actually kinda rude when I asked for water. Also, the WiFi was no good here. The rooms are nice and the location is great. Not a lot of counter space in the bathroom but those things are no big deal when you have great service. 50/50 on whether I'll stay at this location again.

IMMEDIATELY after scanning my tickets I got told we have something better for you and was given different tickets than my mobile tickets I already scanned. I argued and they sent me to those seats anyway. Upon checking them, I returned back to the person and said no I paid for balcony front row in the center. You're trying to put me all the way to the right in the last row up against the wall on the bottom level. The workers then in a very snarky tone said go upstairs to your seats then and you can scream all you want up there. On our way we were stopped by another person trying to give us "a better view". Once at the entrance for our level someone else tried to get us to get different seats and then when we were sitting someone ELSE tried to "upgrade" our seats. If you don't want people on your balcony, don't sell balcony tickets.
