Top Akron Zoo Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Akron South

8/10 Good

"Convenient location for us. Mexican restaurant in walking distance was very good. Room was clean. Smaller tv. Breakfast was solid."

Comfort Inn & Suites Cuyahoga Falls - Akron

8/10 Good

"Flooring is coming unglued in several places. I tripped on a portion in the elevator,"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Macedonia, OH

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great stay, the staff - wonderful. The actual place was clean, it’s no frills. I’d stay again."

Econo Lodge Cleveland Southeast - Kent

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was great and room was clean, good location and very good value"

Baymont by Wyndham Copley Akron

8/10 Good

"I had to leave early"

Holiday Inn Express Akron NW - Fairlawn by IHG

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very clean and updated. The room was comfortable and well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was just okay. They are open during the week from 6:30-9:30. We arrived at 9am for breakfast and everything was mostly gone with nothing being refilled at that time. Yet breakfast should be until 9:30 and I feel like the food should be replenished until the end of the designated time. Also, there was no yogurt in the refrigerator. The coffee machine was being cleaned and difficult to get a cup of coffee at 9am."

Best Western Plus North Canton Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We had one issue and the staff fixed it immediately for us by moving us to another room. The staff was great from check in, our interaction with the manager, the staff responsible for the good food at breakfast, and the staff member who checked us out. They were all great. The hotel itself was very nice. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area."

Embassy Suites by Hilton Akron Canton Airport

8/10 Good

"I about panicked when, while I was checking in, the man behind the desk said, "I don't find a reservation for you." Then he said, "Oh, I am on the wrong page." (Whew!) When I got to my room on the 6th floor, my key didn't work, so I had to carry my luggage back down to the desk to had new key cards made. When i got into the room, I discovered that one of the two lights on the bedroom wall was not working; I reported it the next morning and it was repaired while I was out that day. To be candid, I expect better from the Hilton brand. The breakfasts in the morning, however, were quite tasty and more than filling!"

Quality Inn & Suites Medina - Akron West
