Sadly being our last stay as our son graduated KSU this weekend, the stay at KSU Hotel & Conf. Ctr. was again a great one. Location, New Construction, Great Staff, etc, etc. We stayed once and sometimes twice a year while visiting our son and it was always a great stay. Few small adjustments that could be made are to have the rooms ready for check-in no latter than 3pm, the hot tub always operational, and Restaurant & Bar open an additional hour. Overall, the perfect place to stay when visiting Kent.

Jani and the front desk team were very helpful as I tried to find a date and room accomodations that worked for my family trip. We had a great time. Really appreciated all the beautiful Spring touches that were all around the lobby - made for a very inviting place to stay. Thank you

The staff of the Kent State Hotel could not be any nicer and are always so easy to work with! Having had a multitude of events at the hotel, it was a no brainer to have our wedding preparation there. While the wedding itself was in the park, we booked the presidential suite and adjoining board room to get ready prior to the wedding and to stay the night. Everyone went above and beyond to make the day special, just like they have with every other time we have used them. Jannie Jordan and the entire team are truly the backbone of the hotel.

Dear InfamousKP, Thank you so much for choosing the Kent State Hotel to prepare for your daughter's special occasion. We always appreciate Haltec's continued support. Jannie is an important part of our hotel, and has been with us for four years. Little known fact, Jannie is a prolific groundskeeper at her house. You will always see her buzzing around her property on her zero-turn lawnmower! We look forward to serving you in the future.

This is the second time we have stayed here. Both times pleased with the accommodations and service. Parking is available through the hotel discount at $10 at the parking garage across the street. This time we went to see Lindsey Buckingham at Kent Stage which is just a block away!

Thank you so much for staying with us again. Since we do not have a corporate flag, we rely heavily on repeat business. We are so happy that you had a great stay. We heard that Lindsay Buckingham put on a fantastic show. I grew up listening to Fleetwood Mac! Hope to see you a third time, because as you know, the third time is the charm!

The front desk was so welcoming and everyone we met on staff was equally as pleasant. It was so nice after a long drive to be welcomed and met with such a positive energy from our check-in on Friday to check-out on Sunday. The room was great for our needs, and even with being down-town and the soccer group that stayed on our floor, it didn't keep us awake (we were concerned about that). We had a lovely visit, loved Kent, and the University. Hope to be back soon!

Loved the hotel, staff, parking easy, close to walking to Kent Stage, safe streets. We hung in the lobby at the concert because the bar was not open. The only down side was restaurant and bar closed on Sunday

Dear bdiver1, If you are attending a show at Kent Stage, deciding to stay overnight at the Kent State Hotel is a very wise decision. We are only one block from Kent Stage and we are walking distance to many fine restaurants and bars in the City of Kent. Our restaurant, Nineteen10, is open for breakfast 7 days a week and open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday. Hope to see you again for the next show.

The facilities were clean, well maintained, and overall a fantastic place to stay. We got there a night early and they were able to accommodate us and add an extra night to our stay without a problem. We used the spirit discount by mistake not the tour, but they were willing to give us the benefits from the tour code in place of the spirit. The Nineteen10 restaurant was a tad pricy but delicious, especially the frittata they serve at breakfast.

Everything you could ask for in a boutique hotel...but with hometown service. Highly recommend! All around the service was top-notch. The rooms are beautiful and so comfortable. Of course, Pearl the Squirrel is a must see!
