The Crowne Plaza Hotel Quaker Square in Akron, Ohio is an exciting blend of history, architecture and hospitality. The hotel was constructed from 19th century mills and silos which were the beginnings of the famed Quaker Oats Company. The silos are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. These silos stand an impressive 120 feet tall and once housed 1,500,000 tons of grain. It is the silos that lend the Crowne Plaza's guest rooms their unique circular form. Today, Quaker Square is a vibrant meeting, shopping and entertainment venue in downtown Akron. The Historic Crowne Plaza is very close to the major attractions of Akron. The University of Akron, The National Inventors Hall of Fame, Stan Hywett Hall and Gardens, Goodyear, Firestone and Geauga Lake are just minutes away. We look forward to serving you as our guest at the Crowne Plaza Quaker Square in Akron. Complimentary high speed Internet access. Self parking available for $4.00 per night and includes in and out privileges. Must be 21 years or older to register.

I had stayed at this hotel in 2007 when it was a Crowne Plaza. It was okay. I booked it again because it was within walking distance of where I was working for the week. WHAT A MISTAKE!
This very unique building is worth a walk through but DON'T
What a unique hotel, built in the old Quaker Oats Silos. I stayed here in Nov. of 2007 and it was okay. Dec. of 2008 is a whole different story. I arrived at 7:15 Pm on a Mon. night and the restaurant was already closed. (Closes at 7:00 PM) I w

Very cool idea! Unfortunately they cannot make the rooms larger to compete with today's typical room. I used to expect good things from a Crowne Plaza. Our room was not very clean, and the daily service was so minimal we had to complain. Our air conditioner was so loud that each time it came on during the night we would jerk awake. It almost drowned out the trains that ran all night. Unfortunatley there was a conference and the hotel was full of doors slamming all hours. You would think that concrete silos would hold the noise down.
Very cool idea for a hotel. We spent six days at the Crowne in Akron visiting relatives. Restaurant had good service and adequate food (didn't try the train snack counter). Unfortunately since they are closing November of 2007 I think they...
