The staff are all extremely helpful and kind. Hotel is clean and well looked after. Connie in housekeeping was particularly amazing to us. We generally leave a very small amount of money for the people who clean our rooms when we travel. This is the first time ever we got a thank you note in return, from Connie. She told us she is the longest serving member of the hotel staff, having been there since opening. Very nice hotel, because of the people!

We were staying after a visit to Kent State. Everything was excellent except the shower. It leaked onto the floor no matter what we did. Everything else was great.

Was recommended by owners at the I-76 Antique Mall and was VERY pleased. Room had great ligh blocking window treatments, lots of pillows, was very clean and quiet. The ONLY thing that disturbed me about the room was that the A/C fan was kinda noisy even on low. I did not use the pool but it looked like it needed to be vacuumed. The continental breakfast was awesome.
