Comfort Inn & Suites Akron South

Comfort and Convenience Close to Akron's Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, Comfort Inn & Suites Akron South is a solid 3-star hotel that blends affordability with convenience. Located just off the highway in South Akron, this hotel gives you easy access to downtown, while staying removed from the crowds. With a fitness center, indoor pool, and a relaxing garden area, it's a great spot to unwind after a high-energy night.

Why Concert-goers love it

With downtown Akron only about 15 minutes away, you're just a short drive from popular music venues without dealing with the noise of staying directly in the city. The 24-hour front desk makes late-night check-ins no problem, and the 12:00 PM checkout gives you plenty of time to recover post-show. Plus, being just 5.6 miles from Akron-Canton Regional Airport, getting in and out is a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for an affordable and comfy base
• Solo travelers catching a bucket-list act
• Couples extending the concert into a weekend getaway
• Fans wanting quiet after a loud night
• Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to sacrifice comfort

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t have a full restaurant, the daily breakfast buffet (continental, American, and more) is a huge plus—especially after a late night. There's also a bar on-site for a nightcap, and several casual dining spots are just a short drive or walk away. Though there's no 24/7 room service, nearby eateries offer late-night options.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more of a wind-down spot, you're close to downtown Akron's bars and lounges. Whether you're heading out before the show or looking for an after-party spot, there are plenty of options within a 15-minute drive. For something low-key, the hotel bar is a relaxing place to sip something local.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff and clean, spacious rooms. Many reviewers highlight the quiet location and the hotel’s easy access to highways and the airport. The indoor pool and free breakfast also get frequent shoutouts as pleasant surprises.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that while the area is convenient, it’s not particularly walkable for nightlife—so having a car or rideshare app is helpful. A few reviews mention the decor could use a refresh, but most agree it’s well-maintained and clean.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in Akron and want a quiet, affordable, and comfy place to crash afterward, Comfort Inn & Suites Akron South hits all the right notes.
