Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 58 reviewers.
Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by Face the wall Overall this is a good place to stay. Location is good, hotel seems well maintained and staff is well trained. The only drawback for me was that my room was facing a wall not four feet away from my window! I do not know if the building in back of the hotel was an after thought and added later but a few rooms on the 2nd floor face the wall of this building which may be meeting rooms or serve another purpose but definitely a part of the hotel. Not a very pleasant experience to face a wall especially when it is a nice day outside! I seriously doubt the hotel was full so I would think that these few rooms WITHOUT a view would be sold last, especially to a Platinum member, one of your road warriors! February 23, 2014
Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by A pleasant surprise We chose the Kent, Ohio location as a good option in relation to our travel plan. What we did not expect was the experience of discovery that came with our visit to a downtown area restaurant that your staff recommended. That was followed the next morning by a short driving tour of the history-laden campus of Kent State University All of this added up to another very enjoyable stay with Holiday Inn Express.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by best staff have stayed here before and will be staying here again. front desk people are happy and really seem to enjoy helping in any way they can. cleaning staff greet you in the halls with a smile and hello, even ran into maintence personell who asked without prompting "is everything ok with your room?" had at breakfast the attendant appoligize when i only got a half cup of coffee out of a carafe before i could get my cup away to try another carafe. please don't change this place.
