The hotel offers a free daily breakfast, including buffet and continental options — perfect after a late night out. While there's no on-site restaurant, you'll find vending machines for snacks and drinks any time, and plenty of local eateries just a short drive away. The in-room coffee machines also make it easy to start your day without going far.

What People Say

Guests highlight the clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and comfortable beds as major pluses. Travelers also love the easy parking and smooth check-in process, especially after a long drive or late concert night. The indoor pool is a favorite for winding down the next day.

Areas for Improvement

While the location is peaceful, it’s a bit of a drive (about 25–30 minutes) to some Akron venues — so you'll probably want to bring a car or plan transport in advance. There’s also no bar or restaurant on-site, so food options are limited late at night unless you venture out or bring your own snacks.

The Bottom Line

If you're after a clean, quiet, and affordable place to recharge after the show, the Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Wadsworth hits all the right notes for concert-goers.
