For the price it was perfect. The covers are super thin but we had some of our own blankets :) I would stay again!

Embassy Suites by Hilton Akron Canton Airport
Everything was exceptional. Although our room, 207, had an extremely noisy HVAC system that would wake us up from a sound sleep. The system seemed to be making a loud banging noise.
