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.

We really liked the friendly, efficient check-in, modern decor, and well-appointed room. One thing we found concerning was a spot that looked like blood on the bottom of the fitted sheet on our bed. That made us question cleanliness although everything else appeared clean.

There was a dog that barked the entire time we were there, obviously locked up amd no people. We were awakened by a domestic incident as a man aggressively beat on the door and yelled at someone inside for over an hour starting at about 1:30am.

Clean and comfortable room. However, this is the noisiest hotel we have ever stayed in! The loud thumping of a nearby club until 3am kept us awake most of the night. You could hear every step of the people above us, as well as people yelling in the hallway and outside. $200 for very little sleep is unacceptable. This is the second time we have stayed here and it will be the last. No free breakfast or parking. ($13.50)
