Best Hotels in Ravenna

Kent seems to have only this hotel in the city, other hotels are far away, not very convenient. All aspects of the hotel are OK, the price is slightly more expensive. It’s very convenient to go to the university in a few minutes’ walk. It’s a good choice for a visit to Kent and a temporary study abroad.

I booked this hotel through Expedia for one night. It was a great price for the one night. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The bathtub had no stopper. The room included a refrigerator and microwave. I saw signs for a pool and exercise room, but did not check either one out. Our big issue was this is a dog friendly hotel and one of the dogs near us would not stop barking. By 11:30pm, we were sick of the barking and not being able to sleep and notified the front desk. Luckily, the barking stopped about twenty minutes later. We had to wake up early the next day, so we didn't get much sleep, but I'm glad the front desk took care of the problem.

This hotel is less expensive than others in the area. We were on the ground floor in the back. The room was clean and in good shape. It was also quiet. Everything (hot water, microwave, refrigerator, etc.) worked well. There is a safe fee, but they will remove it if you ask. I would stay there again.

This hotel is always friendly and accommodating. The free breakfast was good. They were able make all are needs with success. The hotel has easy access to the highway. There is restaurants near by as well.

The hotel is quiet, there is a swimming pool, the room is large, breakfast is OK, cost-effective

The walls are paper thin. Worst room noise I have ever experienced at a Marriott. My daughter and I could hear every word the people next door were saying! There was also highway noise and the air conditioner going off and on made a loud noise. My daughter and I stayed here two nights during her orientation weekend for Kent State. Warning if you share Marriott points with your husband. The points account is in his name, but we both have Marriott credit cards. On occasion if he is not with us the front desk will ask to speak to my husband to confirm I’m on his account. No problem, but this hotel front desk said they couldn’t speak to him and said he had to call Marriott Bonvoy main number to have me added to the reservation. He goes to call the number and they didn’t even know what he was talking about until another person got on the phone. Finally after waiting in the lobby with all our stuff at 9:30 at night they got us added to the reservation so we could check in. I literally have the same exact Marriott credit card with my name on it and the same last name. I have the Marriott app on my phone with our confirmation number. This happened to the lady that was before us too and a lady after us luckily had her husband in the car, but he was handicapped and the hotel made him go in to check in. We will be staying in the area often for at least the next 4 years, but not here!

I reserved an ACCESSIBLE room on the first floor for today and tomorrow. Check in time was 3pm, I arrived at 6:30pm. When I checked in, I was told that the non-smoking accessible rooms on the first floor were all taken. I asked how that could be, because I had a valid reservation for one. I had just confirmed the reservation with the front desk the afternoon before. When the clerk asked me if I had asked to have an accessible room ”set aside”, I said, ”No, because I had a valid, confirmed, reservation for that room.” I was given a non-accessible room on the 3rd floor. I am wearing a leg brace due to a knee injury. The toilet is too low to get off of without the use of my crutches, and taking a shower will be difficult without the extra hand rails and not being able to walk in vs. having to step into the tub. When I came back downstairs to get some items in my car, I made a comment to the clerk about the toilet being too low for me. He said, ”Well, if the gentleman who has been promised the room comes in, and he doesn't need it, the I can switch you to that room.” I looked at him in disbelief and said, ”I had reserved that room months ago. Why was it promised to someone who isn't even here? Is that what a reservation is supposed to be for???? Thank God I'm not in a wheelchair, I don't know what I would have done.” The clerk did apologize, but it doesn't fix anything. I will not stay at another Choice hotels brand. This is my last stay.

My stay at this Hampton Inn got off to a very nice start. The young lady behind the check in desk was pleasant and efficient. A smiling face makes a huge impression on a road weary traveler. Likewise, the lady staffing the breakfast room was very nice. I’m a klutz when it comes to operating the self-serve waffle makers and she came to my rescue. Thanks for your help!! Now, for the less than positive — the single elevator is inadequate for the size of this hotel and is not conveniently located. Apparently, a lot of construction workers stay here and there was mud tracked throughout the lobby, elevator and hallways. Speaking of construction, the hotel is having a new roof installed. Fine, but don’t allow the construction crew to block off a significant part of your lot with their vehicles. Finally, my check out experience was the least acceptable part of my stay. When I approached the desk to check out on March 30, the clerk was absorbed in reading something and didn’t even raise his eye level to meet mine. He simply grunted, “What can I do for you?” Still staring at his book or newspaper or whatever it was that had his attention. It certainly wasn’t his customer.

I stayed here when I took my daughter for the admitted student tour at Kent State University. We were driving from Illinois so the location directly off route 80 was really convenient. There are also lots of conveniences nearby — Walmart directly across the street, gas station, restaurants — and about a 15 minute drive to Kent State along a very scenic route. The clerk was very friendly and I loved having a full kitchen. My daughter stayed with a friend who lives in the area so they could visit with KSU students and I went to Walmart, bought food and cooked in the room. It had everything you need and in excellent condition. They do have free breakfast in the morning including some gluten free options. There is also a very small market in the lobby with microwaveable items, snacks and drinks, including wine. There’s really not much lobby area though. I will consider staying here if I’m back in the area again.
