Mike's Place

5 of 5 stars
Kent, Ohio
Oct 23, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

I live in Kent so I guess I'm partial to it and find the details of the decor entertaining. Other than that, love the food. It's like the epitome of bar food crossed with a kick arse diner. They have everything and after a night of hitting the bars in downtown the breakfast is amazing and a great cure for... more

Atlanta, Georgia
Sep 17, 2008

This Hampton Inn is a fine hotel and has the trappings of your standard Hampton Inn. Room was clean, bathroom stocked, frige, microwave, color TV ;) The breakfast was standard which is to say it's delicious with the exception of the green banana. The check is was great and the front desk staff was helpful. Location is great easy to... more

Days Inn Kent-Akron

Chicago, IL
Sep 13, 2008

I am a wyndham rewards member and stay at Days Inn quite often. From the previous Days Inns I've stayed at, this one was one of the top experiences. I arrived and the checkin process took about 30 seconds. We had 4 rooms and they were able to place us right next to each other. the landscaping was BEAUTIFUL! I... more

Holiday Inn Express Kent State University

Sep 7, 2008

This is the nicest Holiday Inn Express at which I have stayed. Seemed fairly new, with a nice lobby and small executive suites. Excellent front desk staff who were very accomodating after a long day of travelling. Loved the 6 - 9 Happy Hour (Beer, wine and snacks) on check in. One note, the map on Trip Advisor isn't accurate... more

This appeared to be a relatively new property, and it's decor is elevated compared to many other Holiday Inn Express properties I've stayed in. It certainly looked to be one of the nicest hotels in the area. My room was very nice -- a large king executive room with a couch area, a nice desk, and a big bathroom. Everything... more

I made a reservation through a travel agent and had booked a package deal for the Hall of Fame weekend in the beginning of August. I had tickets to the inauguration ceremony, museum, and couple of other events. Between my friend and I it was a $2000 package. I call the hotel in the morning to make sure our reservation... more

Ray's Place

4 of 5 stars
Greater Cleveland
Jul 29, 2008

When I go out to a bar to downtown Kent, I always go to Ray's. The food is decent and the beer selection is exceptional. They also seem to know how to make drinks there better than most places in Kent. The remodeled downstairs is great with the new televisions if you want to watch a game. They seem to... more

Bistro on Main

2 of 5 stars
Greater Cleveland
Jul 29, 2008

Bistro On Main is trying to show Portage County fine dining. Unfortunately, while many people in Portage County may think it is great, it is a horrible value compared to the plethora of great fine dining restaurants in Cleveland and places like Crave in Akron. I've eaten there a few times, only with discounts attached, and even then I wasn't... more

We live near Mike's place and go there often. This is a fun, kitchy placy with a lot of old memorabilia on the walls and ceiling. The exterior looks rough and a bit odd from all of the normal restuarants around, but that is what makes this place unique. You can dine at a table, in a booth that sits... more

I had the opportunity to visit this restaurant. Like everyone else we herd the Prime Rib was fabulous. The restaurant opens at 4:00 P.M. we were there at 6:15 P.M. We ordered the Prime Rib and we were told they were all out. I ask the waitress how they could be out by 6:15 and someone walked by and said... more

Holiday Inn Express Kent State University

May 3, 2008

I went to Kent o visit my daughter , and we stayed at the new Holiday Inn Express. I've stayed at other HI's so I was expecting a good experience. Overall, the rooms were nicely appointed - comfortable beds, new furnishings. However, the non-smoking hotel with supposed non smokin rooms wreaked of smoke. The desk staff obviously had never encountered... more

Americas Best Value Inn & Suites

Apr 30, 2008

We took a chance on this as a 2.5 star hotel on Hotwire. After my feedback, they took a second look, gave me a refund (and then some) and downgraded the rating even further. Maybe it was nice as a Ramada, but it looks like it closed, stayed abandoned for a year, then the new owners remodelled the lobby. The... more

Hampton Inn Kent/Akron Area

Apr 22, 2008

We stayed at the Hampton Inn recently and had a wonderful experience. The hotel was super clean and staff was super friendly. Room had a refrig and microwave which were nice amenities. Indoor pool and hottub was nice too. Room was very large and like other Hampton Inns - beds were super comfy and breakfast was great. Convenient location just... more

Hahaha! Yeah right...I don't think I could eat more than 10.00 worth of food from there, but it would be satisfying. But then I could afford some really nice red wine and maybe some cheesecake for dessert! more

Franklin Square Deli

4 of 5 stars
Tallmadge, Ohio
Mar 24, 2008

This place is great location right downtown Kent to catch a quick bite to eat. Don't go to late though because they close at 7pm. The soups are great and not your typical frozen soup but appear more homemade. Fresh bread for the subs. Decorated in racing car gear and nostalgia. Clean. Check it out!!! more
