The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express - Akron NW - FairlawnBy IHG

Comfort-First Stay Just Outside the Buzz of Akron

Modern and welcoming, the Holiday Inn Express - Akron NW - Fairlawn an IHG Hotel is a 3-star stay tucked away in a quieter corner of Akron. Just over 5 miles from downtown and the city’s music hubs, this hotel balances easy access to venues with a peaceful, suburban vibe. With free parking, free WiFi, and an indoor pool, it’s a reliable base for concert-goers who want comfort without the chaos.

Guests enjoy a 24-hour front desk, a cozy shared lounge, and a complimentary American breakfast to recharge after a late night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're catching a show in Akron or even heading into Cleveland, this spot hits the sweet spot between proximity and peace. Just 6 miles from downtown Akron and 27 miles from Cleveland’s biggest venues, it’s close enough to make your night out stress-free—without the downtown price tag or noise. With late check-in from 4:00 PM and a smooth checkout at 11:00 AM, it’s great for post-show sleep-ins. Free parking makes it ideal for road-trippers, and the quiet location is perfect for recharging after a high-energy night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a gig together
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list performance
  • Couples making a music-filled weekend of it
  • Fans looking for a low-key post-concert recovery spot
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want comfort without breaking the bank

Food and Drink Options

Start your day (even if it starts late) with a free American or buffet breakfast—ideal after a night out. While there’s no on-site restaurant for dinner, the location puts you near local eateries and casual dining spots in the Fairlawn area. The hotel doesn't offer late-night dining or 24/7 room service, so a pre-show snack run is a good idea.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about rest than revelry, it’s a short drive to downtown Akron’s bars, breweries, and lounges. For those heading into Cleveland, the drive back—though about 30 minutes—is manageable, especially if you’re looking to stay outside the downtown chaos. This hotel is more of a wind-down zone than a party base.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the clean, quiet rooms and the friendly, helpful staff. Many reviews mention the well-maintained facilities, especially the indoor pool and fitness center. Reviewers often highlight the convenient location—close to highways, restaurants, and venues without being in a noisy area.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests found the breakfast could offer a bit more variety, and a few noted the decor and furnishings are more functional than flashy. If you're looking for a boutique or luxury vibe, this might feel a bit basic—but it delivers where it counts.

The Bottom Line

For music fans looking for comfort, convenience, and quiet after the show, Holiday Inn Express - Akron NW - Fairlawn an IHG Hotel is a solid, stress-free choice.

Nathan, Lavale

We stayed at the Doubletree due to its proximity to the Blossom Music Center and good reviews. We were very pleased with our stay and would highly recommend this hotel! It is located directly across the street from the Summit Mall. It was only a short 10 minute drive from Blossom. The only negative was that parking was somewhat limited during the day due to a wedding reception being held at the hotel. Other than that, we had nothing but positive experiences during our stay.

Liked: Location; clean; modern decor; friendly staff.
Disliked: Parking.

Adequate.

Liked: Great..hot & fresh. Good coffee. Nice clean room. Lots of choice.
Disliked: The pool area was needing repairs. There was mild and crumbling walls. The bathtub in my room was outraged and dangerous. You had to step high into it to use the shower. The floor wasn't nonslip either.

Good

Liked: The beds are super comfortable and the staff is friendly.
Disliked: The pool was gross. There was trash on the bottom of the pool and band-aid. There are no towels in the pool area for kids to grab to use. We had to use our room towels, and we couldn't shower because there were no towels, and they were out at the front desk. When the staff cleaned our room we were gone. They left someone else trash in our room filled with gross smelly fruit. When cleaning the rooms, they need to not bring and leave other people trash. I was so mad 😠 😡.
