BLU-Tique, Akron, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
"The shower was nice. The first room I got had hair in the bed, then the 2nd room they gave me had hair in the bed and smelled bad, then the 3rd room was acceptable. I did not realize until I was there that it was a Marriott property. I would not recommend nor stay there again."
