Staybridge Suites Akron-Stow-Cuyahoga Falls by IHG

We stayed here for a week. The room was clean and spacious. We had no issues with housekeeping or the room itself. The location of the hotel is convenient. The wifi was terribly slow and only worked sometimes. The pool was closed during more than half of our stay. They didn't tell us the pool was closed. But, when we went to the pool, the water looked greenish and murky and we asked at the front desk and they said it was closed. They should've probably put a sign up and locked the pool area. Gross. After a few days, the pool opened. The water was cold throughout the rest of our stay. There were never any towels at the pool and the pool bathroom was out of service the entire visit. The worst part of our stay was the breakfast. The breakfast area is large and never crowded. But, the woman running the breakfast just stood around loudly gossiping throughout breakfast and didn't fill or refill most of the items. It was actually ridiculous. When the waffle batter was out, instead of refilling the container, she'd just start handing people paper cups with some waffle batter in them. There was a multi-tiered fruit container that always only had 1-3 pieces of fruit in it, the yogurt was consistently empty, the oatmeal was usually empty, the waffle mix was usually empty, the coffee creamers were mostly empty, the pastry cabinet made use of 1/2 of one of 3 glass shelves. They NEVER had anything in there but some stale spongecake-like bread, which they usually had tightly covered in saran wrap! It was downright ridiculous. It was like this every day, no matter if you came to breakfast early, in the middle, or late. I asked a manager about it and he just said, "Would you like some fruit?" It was weird. Just fill up the containers! It's not that difficult. It's one thing to have a problem. It's another thing to have a problem and after alerting management about it, they do absolutely nothing. I would definitely NOT recommend anyone stay here because of this.
