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.
