DO NOT STAY!
I was passing through my home town on my way to do an inspections for one of my companies and called ahead to find out if they had an indoor pool and that is heated as I got close to the area. I was met by a nice checkin clerk who assured me the internet used an eathernet cable for the conference use and wifi for the rest and that yes, the pool is warm and open. I checked in and met a few of my old friends in the area and when i went back to the hotel, i found the netork was not available except at the front desk and when a new clerk logged me in to the conference side, it lasted untiĺ i got 20 feet away and then no networks or wifi showed up that was related thmo the hotel. Not a huge deal as i had a few hours of work to do and could use a hotspot. Decided to just go find the pool to soak out a few weeks of traveling ... only to find the pool is locked and a sign that the pool is closed. When i asked the desk, they call the manager who called maintainance who just said... eh, i has been closed for a few weeks. I understand the person youbare speaking with is not the cause of these kind of issues, so i stayed polite and asked for the manager. I was handed the phone and was told "oh weĺ, we will comp your parking" which my replybwas.. " I have to pay to park in a open to public, no charger parking lot?". I was jot informed of that at any time. I told her I would not stay and since i had disturbed nothing, i would like a refund. The reply was..." no". I left

The hotel was great and walking distance to coffee shop and restaurants. The only drawback was that the pool and hot tub were not open. That’s part of the reason why we booked there so it was bummer to find we couldn’t use them. All else was great!

The location isn't bad just not convenient for someone who is traveling and then they offered parking pass without informing of the charge. Something fuzzy was left on bedding and the light up mirror did not work. I wanted to dine at the restaurant but no one ever bothered to seat me. There was also a big dog located at the front entrance and I understand people have disabilities but it was intimidating. I was glad to figure out room service was offered after not eating all day due to work. Upon checking out, the young lady with blonde hair at the desk made me uncomfortable by constantly bringing up a card for incidentals otherwise assuming that the room was left unkept. As a result the hotel itself is great but could use some work on the way the staff may approach people and the restaurant staff to be more attentive to most customers.

First time in Ohio; I was seeing a concert at Blossom Music Center. Ohio doesn't scream "safe and friendly" to me, so when I saw that this hotel was located near a college campus, I booked it, and I was not disappointed. The beautiful Cuyahoga Falls parks were just a short 20 minute drive. The music venue was just 30 minutes away from the hotel, and I also managed to see the Rock&Roll HOF before the concert. The hotel itself was very clean and safe and hardly occupied during the summer. Overall, a great experience.
