Residence Inn Akron Fairlawn

The Residence Inn isn't something I normally view as a hotel, rather an apartment with a staff. This one was no different. The location is perfect for this part of Akron, right across the street from the neighborhood of our family's home we visited, and less than a minute to the interstate. The property seems to have undergone some renovations/updates recently, and while Residence Inn is not more than minimalist, it's clean and comfortable. Nothing fancy. This location offers an indoor pool and fitness center (more on that later), and with only 4 floors, it's not huge, so breakfast, pool and gym crowds won't be huge either. When traveling with children, I suggest upgrading to the 2BD where each bedroom gets its own bathroom, separated by the living room/kitchen. I like this design because you can have your own space like you might at home. There is plenty of room in this setup. Regarding the fitness center - this is the area where I feel Residence, Springhill, and the other similar properties could do so much better. Just a few treadmills and dumbbells is below standard these days, especially for Marriott properties. There is enough space in the fitness center to add a pull-up/cable station and even some kettlebells. The staff at this property is so nice, from front desk to maintenance, all the way into the kitchen as well. Overall, it's a great place to stay for this area of Akron.

Very clean and comfortable room, friendly staff.

It was tough finding a place to stay on our business trip and this Residence Inn was surprisingly excellent!! Spotless, great staff, room was really nice, clean, great bed and about a 2 minute drive to many restaurants.
