I travel to Kent a few times a year and always stay at the KSU Hotel. It’s been clean and comfortable every time. Additionally, its location between the town and the University is ideal.

Cleanliness was great! Staff was kind and attentive. Room service from the restaurant was AMAZING service, quality and taste! Loved how spacious the room was. The mattress was AMAZING. Unfortunately, there was no hody wash, the bathroom was SUPER small for the price and room, and there was only the tinest niche in the shower wall to set items and they fell out over and over and over… toilet lid and shower door SLAMMED shockingly loud (especially shower) if you did not take the time to slowly close manually. And the pillows were twice as high as normal pillows

The front desk staff and our waitress at the hotel restaurant (dinner) were friendly and helpful and patiently answered any questions that we had. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The only thing missing was a blanket, which we got from the front desk when we got cold during the night. I appreciated the magnified makeup mirror in the bathroom!

Hotel is very nice and clean. It's in a great location which is why I stay at this hotel when I visit my son at college. I had two issues with my stay. First when I went to use the hot tub is wasn't even hot or even warm. Second when I went back to my room to shower all the hot water was gone.
