I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were not only comfortable and immaculate but also tastefully decorated. The service was friendly and accommodating, although a bit more effort in quieting noisy guests returning at night would have been appreciated. The location was perfect for exploring KSU and downtown Kent, with numerous dining options nearby. The dining experience was above par, offering a delightful variety of fresh fruits and baked goods. Overall, a great choice for both business and leisure travelers.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and visually appealing, although they seemed to aim for a more upscale look. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making my stay even more enjoyable. The location was excellent, with easy access to downtown areas and campus. The dining experience offered a nice variety of fresh items, perfect for starting the day. However, there was a limited selection of hot breakfast items. Overall, great value for the money.
