Hampton Inn Stow

Pros: Good amenities, especially the pool for the kid.

Cons: The beds we too firm

Above expectations

Pros: Staff welcoming & helpful. Room very clean, large & well equipped. Breakfast was a cut above any hotel hot breakfast buffet we've experienced. The cheese omelets were great, oatmeal with all the trimmings and good variety with something for everyone.

Clean and professional

Pros: The staff had us in a very clean room quickly. We paid a bit more for a nicer place. Very comfortable beds.

Cons: Had a little trouble figuring out the HVAC.

Pros: My family stayed there the Friday night before we were to visit U of Akron. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Queen beds were nice. Doubles are just too small. Nice updated bathroom. Staff was friendly. Free bottled water at check-in. Breakfast was good with a nice selection. We all found something we wanted. Made our reservation through a third party with no problems. Convenient to U of Akron - just a short drive down Rt. 8 to get there. Also convenient to the Ohio Turnpike exit.

Cons: Very minor dislikes. Odd massaging shower heads provided either a stream of water like from a garden hose or a ring of water with absolutely no water in the center of the ring. Also, seating in the breakfast area was good for small business groups to collaborate around a common table while eating , but my family just wanted to watch TV while eating and the seating made that difficult.
