Staff very nice Room very clean Nice over all building Other than the pool was shut down and I brought my grandchildren there so they could swim before the next day event so we were very disappointed about the pool.

Conveniently located to restaurants and shopping. We stay here whenever we head home to Ohio. All staff was friendly, knowledgeable and went out out of their way to make our stay comfortable.

10/10 Exceptional

Clean & comfy - reasonable rates - great location!

An overnight stay with two friends as we were in Kent to attend an event. Check-in was easy; the front desk person was friendly and informative and helped us with parking and more. Our room with two queen beds was spacious and clean. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and the shower very easy to find the right settings. Loved Pearl the Squirrel statue in the lobby. Parking in the garage across the street was a breeze. Walkable to the KSU campus. Restaurants for dinner and breakfast within a couple blocks. For the price, this was really the perfect choice for our hotel stay.

Love this hotel… love that you can walk to restaurants, bars and shops. Always clean/well kept, and the staff is always friendly!
Angela, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our time at the hotel. The restaurant, although small, served amazing food- fresh, creative, delicious. There was no need to look elsewhere for dinner and breakfast. Staff was friendly, engaging and personable throughout the hotel/ restaurant. It was only an overnight stay on the way to our destination, but we would search it out again.
Claudia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

All great except the bed

We enjoyed our stay. Great location. Staff was friendly and efficient. Room was clean. Enjoyed the outside terrace. The only complaint is that the bed was not very comfortable. The mattress sloped down on the side. My sister was in another room and had the same comment. We both had leg and back aches during the night.
Janet, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It's goid.

This is the most expensive hotel in Kent, but its amenities and condition is mid grade. The staff is great and very attentive. Would I recommend this over a Hilton or Hampton? No i wouldn't. But the location is very convenient, so if you're a walker, you can get to the campus or restaurants nearby. Overall, its just good.
