“Quaint hotel in Akron”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 22, 2013

We had tickets to a show at the Akron Civic Theatre and decided to stay overnight at the Quaker Square Inn. This hotel is very unique and charming. It is located within walking distance of the theatre which was perfect for us. The room rate was reasonable and included parking and a hot breakfast the next morning. There is a restaurant located off the lobby, which unfortunately was temporarily closed for remodeling, but looked like it would be a nice place to grab a drink or bite to eat. The front desk clerk was very helpful and provided directions and a map to the theatre. He also provided information/recommendations for local restaurants in the area. Overall a very pleasant stay.

“A Gem in downtown Akron”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2013

I believe the last time we stayed at Quaker Square the Inn was part of the Hilton chain. The rooms have been updated since then. Rooms are nicely appointed and are very comfortable. The unique aspects of the Inn make it worth a visit for anyone. Mid-week, mid-winter night life was pretty nonexistent - even the hotel restaurant closed at 9pm, but it was a short walk to hear jazz at Baxter's on Main.
A buffet breakfast was included with the room. You really should have a bowl of oatmeal.

“Sleep in Luxury in An Old Grain Silo”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

The Luxurious Quaker Inn is a wonderful place to stay. It is great for business or a family vacation. The rooms are round because grain silo's are round. The furnishings are first class and the hotel restaurants are fantastic with delicious food. You will absolutely enjoy a stay in this hotel when you are in the Akron / Canton Ohio area.

Room Tip: All the rooms are round because they are made from an old Quaker Oats grain silo. Every room is wond...

“Charged for no-show after cancellation and poor customer service.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

I don't normally send in reviews, but I thought it important as this is the first time I've had a bad experience with a hotel and it remains unresolved so I thought it would be important to let people know of my experience.
My colleague and I were to stay at the Quaker Square on business, however our meeting was cancelled and as such cancelled our stay. To my surprise, I received a no-show charge - my colleage was not although we cancelled them at the same time. The two times I called and left a message with their accounting person were left unanswered. The third time I called - this time with less patience, I simply explained my situation (that we cancelled the room and were still charged) and the staff member told me there was nothing they could do.
I now am out of pocket for $140 so it will be a very very long time before I stay at this property or recommend it.

“I am really lost.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2013

I got the pleasure of experiencing this gem on NYE. At first, I was very over whelmed and confused. Trying to find your way to the rooms was a bit rough, and you never know where a door will be or a turn is coming....damn you silos! But, overall, it was the coolest hotel I have ever stayed in. The rooms are round, weird. Big bath tub, free parking, just two blocks from all the downtown goodies; it was an awesome choice. Although was confused by the pool signs...because they dont have one. And the breakfast could have been a bit better. (but watching all the hung over young crowd come in right before it was done was pretty entertaining. Just sayin.
