Hotels near Gabe's, Akron

Reasonable hotel in Akron.

I was overall satisfied with the hotel room. The ice was very hard and there was no inconvenience in using the hotel room.

So far its been nice

Very nice hotel in a trendy area. Rooms very spacious, very clean. Heater worked great. Check-in was busy but very prompt and friendly. Bedding was also very good, slept well. You can get a room with a view of the falls, or a city view. City view is quieter because there is a highway on the falls side. Fyi..we stayed Saturday to Sunday a.m and there were church bells clanging on Sunday a.m around 10. Didn't bother us though. Also, there is a bar/restaurant inside the hotel. Also a concession/snack area with ice cream and other snacks for purchase. My only negative is that the hot tub has been closed/covered up since our last visit. It's gone. It was one of the reasons we booked there. Pool looked nice.

THIS IS A TRUE WARNING. LOOK AT THE PICTURES. I was in town for a wedding Friday-Monday, 9/23-26/2022. Typically upon check-in, I thoroughly check my room #221. However, due to rehearsals, family meetings & greets, etc, I just checked-in and commenced with the wedding schedule. Due to the fact that I've been in hotel mgmt for over 10 years, I am always considerate of the housekeeping department. In turn, Mon 9/26/22 after showering, I removed all of the linen and made sure all dirty laundry is in a pile. Upon pulling the linen from the beds, I was disgusted and appalled. I immediately called to the front desk and requested for mgmt to come to my room, it was approximately 730amish. The desk agent informed me that there wasn't a MOD on property but as soon as the GM arrived she would inform him of my request. I went to the desk 2xs, the 1st time I showed my pics and video to the agent and she was very apologetic. While standing there the GM Steve Patris walked in. I introduced myself and told him I would come back once he was settled in. I came back down around 10:30-10:45ish. I begin to explain to Steve how I felt and I allowed him to review the pictures & video footage. He apologized and said he would give me points. I informed him that I wasn't a Marriott member, in turn I prefer to get 1 night stay refunded. He stated he couldn't do that and thar he would give me 50% refund of 1 night stay. I informed him that, that wasn't suffice. I then asked him to put himself in my shoes and inquired what would he want. He didn't answer the question. I again reiterated that 50% wasn't suffice and I preferred a 1 night stay refund of $119+ tax. He said he couldn't do that because he needed to analyze the situation. I said well I requested for you to come to my room. I then said we can go now. He didn't move. I then informed him that facts don't lie. The room was despicable. So I inquired again, as a GM you're telling me that you, as the GENERAL MANAGER of the hotel can't refund me a 1 night stay. He said no. I then asked for his boss information. He then passed me a sticky note that he had ALREADY written Marriott's customer service number on. I was like wow, so you were prepared not to help me. After going back and forth with each other for another 5 minutes, I just ended the conversation and he said have a good day ma'am.

The hotel is very nice, the room is large, there is a simple kitchen, there are plates and dishes, but we don't have to burn things ourselves. There is McDonald's near the hotel, FRIDAY, you can go out to eat. It is also very convenient to refuel nearby. Breakfast is in the lobby, but it's simple, but you can make your own waffles. Coffee and water are served all day in the hotel lobby, very good. There are laundry, laundry and drying each USD0.75, laundry room in the gym, brush the door card can go in.

The hotel was very clean, including smelling like disinfectant without it being overwhelming. The shower had excellent water pressure and the desk clerk was helpful with all requests. While I am local to this hotel so probably wouldn't have thought of getting a hotel without extenuating circumstances (my power was out for days and husband just out of the hospital) I wanted to let others know how nice it was in case they needed to stay. I do miss the full breakfasts usually at Holiday Inns, but that's COVID's fault that it wasn't available.

Hotel was absolutely amazing. One of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed. It was nice to see that housekeeping stopped and made beds every day. The breakfast was fantastic. Just a great place to stay and I will definitely return. You can tell that the staff takes great pride in the property!!

Kent seems to have only this hotel in the city, other hotels are far away, not very convenient. All aspects of the hotel are OK, the price is slightly more expensive. It’s very convenient to go to the university in a few minutes’ walk. It’s a good choice for a visit to Kent and a temporary study abroad.
