Holiday Inn Express & Suites Alliance By IHG
"4.2-rated Holiday Inn Express with heated pool, shared whirlpool, free breakfast and strong service near Mount Union."
About The Hotel
The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Alliance is a reliable 4-star chain property on West State Street, serving university visitors, family road-trippers, and Pro Football Hall of Fame travelers. With 117 reviews averaging 4.2 stars, guests praise its cleanliness (4.5), location (4.4), and friendly service (4.5). The heated indoor pool and shared whirlpool make it a solid pool-and-spa choice rather than an in-room-jacuzzi property. Honest note: recent reviews flag the shared whirlpool broken or under repair; call ahead to confirm. Free breakfast and a convenient location near Mount Union and Canton make this a sensible budget-friendly base.
What Guests Are Saying
“We went to the hotel for the pool and the hot tub, and it was more then worth it. Our rooms were also clean and the linen was tightly cleaned and overall the stay was awesome. The desk staff was also really welcoming, and friendly.” — Jacob L., 5 stars
“Upon walking to the elevator, I notice the pool is open but spa is under repair. This was not on the website so not very happy. Room itself is a smaller typical HIE, nothing fancy. Good night’s sleep, weak shower pressure. Limited options at continental breakfast.” — Keith B., 3 stars
“Upon arrival the elevator was broken. Bathtub was stained and cracked. Hot tub broken, dirty, rusted and infested. Sent feedback to Holiday Inn; no response. Not worth the price.” — Jeff B., 1 star
