Residence Inn Akron Fairlawn

The Residence Inn isn't something I normally view as a hotel, rather an apartment with a staff. This one was no different. The location is perfect for this part of Akron, right across the street from the neighborhood of our family's home we visited, and less than a minute to the interstate. The property seems to have undergone some renovations/updates recently, and while Residence Inn is not more than minimalist, it's clean and comfortable. Nothing fancy. This location offers an indoor pool and fitness center (more on that later), and with only 4 floors, it's not huge, so breakfast, pool and gym crowds won't be huge either. When traveling with children, I suggest upgrading to the 2BD where each bedroom gets its own bathroom, separated by the living room/kitchen. I like this design because you can have your own space like you might at home. There is plenty of room in this setup. Regarding the fitness center - this is the area where I feel Residence, Springhill, and the other similar properties could do so much better. Just a few treadmills and dumbbells is below standard these days, especially for Marriott properties. There is enough space in the fitness center to add a pull-up/cable station and even some kettlebells. The staff at this property is so nice, from front desk to maintenance, all the way into the kitchen as well. Overall, it's a great place to stay for this area of Akron.

It was tough finding a place to stay on our business trip and this Residence Inn was surprisingly excellent!! Spotless, great staff, room was really nice, clean, great bed and about a 2 minute drive to many restaurants.

The internet and TV Service was out. I had planned to travel so that I could watch the NCAA National Championship Game in my hotel room

A night away It was a very nice overnight get away with just me and my oldest daughter

Not clean The shower was leaking out from underneath in the corner with lots of water on the floor, found people’s socks left in the room, cabinets were filthy, nail clippings on the bathroom floor next to the toilet. Floor sticky.

great stay, would recommend We were disappointed the pool was closed, but overall it was a great stay! Friendly staff, nice breakfast (waffles, eggs, biscuits/gravy, muffins, cereal, etc), clean room, kitchen with stove, dishwasher, fridge, utensils, living room had a sofa bed, desk and nice big screen TV. We would stay here again and recommend others!
