BLU-Tique, Akron, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Meals were quite enjoyable. Musical entertainment a nice bonus. Front desk staff was extremely helpful settling my bill as I made a mistake not making my booking.com reservation payment in advance.

One of the days I noticed that one area of the bathroom had not been cleaned properly, and there was no bathmat, so I almost slipped on a wet spot on the floor. The other observation was that since the doors are really heavy, people tend to let them slam when they are leaving their rooms. At 5 am that can be a bit jarring. Perhaps a gentle reminder to guests that maybe they hold the door before it closes completely so as not to disturb others guests.

The hotel was very clean and was one of the best examples of turning an old office building into a hotel that I have stayed in. Often such facilities feel like they tried to squeeze too much into a small space but this did not. Very well done.

Ticket dispenser for the parking garage was not working properly and we had to speak with Hotel staff about how to resolve. The Hotel does not manage the garage, but because guests park there it does have an impact on your stay. The on working elevator was a bit slow when use was heavy.

Nice hotel stay with friendly staff. Beds were comfortable and I loved the pillows! Enjoyed dinner and breakfast at the hotel

No problems. A bit pricey for a single night stay. The parking garage could use more signage to get to the check in location.

We liked the visual of the rooms and hallways as well as the rooms themselves.

The back courtyard was the worse. I don’t think any of the cushions have been cleaned nor has the concrete been pressure washed. Very foul urine smell. The parking deck is also horrible. I’m not sure who maintains it but it also lacks care of the property.
