Homewood Suites by Hilton Akron/Fairlawn

I had never stayed in an extended stay suite before, so I didn't know what to expect. I was surprised by the large size of the room, the full and well-appointed kitchen, and the lovely bathroom. I didn't have time for the gym or need the laundry, but I was impressed by those, also. The room wasn't cheap, but it was lower in cost than most local alternatives, with added features such as the kitchen.

This property was very clean, we stayed in a one bedroom suite with 2 queen beds and a sleeper sofa which meant there was plenty of room for us and our 2 teenagers. Bedroom even had a ceiling fan. Breakfast was good, plenty of choices, again very clean. Staff we interacted with were all very friendly. Location was close to lots of restaurants and shopping.

The breakfast was great for hotel breakfast! The gentleman preparing the food was great! He was accommodating and made fresh muffins!! His customer service was excellent!

Proximity to Cleveland. The pool schedule opened early and closed late. The breakfast, gentleman/chef, was phenomenal. As a manager in business, I would love to have been able to convince him to come work for me if I worked close by. Keep him and give him a raise.The housekeeping staff member blonde lady had great customer service. She was friendly and greeted us every morning. She is another associate who deserves a raise. I wished I had remembered the names of these 2 associates, but unfortunately, I didn't.

The large rooms were great for our family. They were side by side which was awesome!!! Towels at the pool was so nice.
