Really liked the location being so close to Kent State University and the downtown area. Brought a potential new freshman for fall 2022 to tour the campus. The hotel had a nice home feel to the place.

Best place to stay in Kent. While the hotel isn’t a design wonder, it’s a really solid place. Was clean, quiet snd a delight to stay in. Staff was so nice and helpful always. The breakfast while Nothing special is a nice touch. I never saw the restaurant open, but it seems like every place in Ohio when I was there was closed or suffered from staffing issues. Great location and where you must stay when at kent!
