M Star Hotel North Canton - Hall of Fame — Hotel in North Canton

Oh boy, where do I even begin? This is hands-down the worst motel experience of my life. After checking in, I climbed the stairs to the second floor and was immediately greeted by the pungent aroma of cheap air freshener that hit me like a punch to the nose.

Room #215 was surprisingly clean, but the furniture looked like it was bought from the Salvation Army down the street. I noticed some odd people hanging around, and after a quick Google search, I discovered that this place is more than just a motel – it's mostly subsidized housing that the locals aren't too thrilled about.

Now, here’s where the real fun began: Little did I know I got two free “roommates.” There was this delightful hollow wooden door between my room and Room #213, which I’m convinced was crafted from the finest cardboard. Every time my neighbors coughed, sneezed, farted, or, well, did other things (if you catch my drift), I heard it all - sounds from strangers you really don’t want to hear in a room you paid good money for! Yes, that includes the couple in the next room who decided to make loud sex for an hour, right as I was trying to catch some sleep. The worst part, they returned a few hours later for Round 2.

The second night, the TV decided it was time to die. The remote was working, but the screen was as dead as my hope of ever watching anything. I resorted to watching sports on my laptop while praying for a moment of peace. Around 5 a.m., I woke up to use the restroom (as quietly as possible, so I wouldn’t disturb my neighbors), and I was greeted by a spine-chilling gurgling noise coming from behind the door. Was someone choking on something, or was it… the other kind of choking (choking the chicken)? Who knows. Either way, it’s an experience I wish I could unhear.

Ladies, let me give you a heads up – there’s a massive gap under the connecting door. Big enough for a phone, a camera, or any other creative devices you might want to slide through. Trust me, it’s an experience you’ll never forget, and not in a good way.

I managed to get about five hours of sleep both nights, thanks to my trusty earplugs and alcohol, but was woken up many times by streetlamp that might as well have been in my room, given the size of the gap under the curtains. Bright light streaming in made it feel like I was trying to sleep in a crime scene.

I had booked two nights here, but one was enough. Canton has never had a great reputation, but this motel certainly isn’t doing it any favors. Honestly, it should just be converted to subsidized apartments and saved from further humiliations. Stay somewhere else if you can. Would not recommend unless you're in the market for a one-way ticket to an uncomfortable,...

July of 2013 my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed a relaxing week at the historic Harleigh Inn of North Canton, OH. We needed a getaway and wanted to visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame but we were on a very tight budget. We considered tent camping it so that we could afford the trip, but then came came across this little mom & pop owned motel that offered us the same nightly rate as a campsite...but rather than braving the elements and hiking to the spider infested showers at a campground we had air conditioning, cable TV, a clean private bathroom, a huge california king size bed, a love seat couch, a microwave, a dorm-sized fridge, a little table and chairs to eat at, and daily maid service with fresh towels and essentials each morning (she even washed our dirty dishes for us). The establishment is old and a little tired, but the room we stayed in had been refurbished fairly recently and was quite comfortable for what we required, if not the picture of modern perfection. The place was quiet for early-to-bed or sleeping in late, although the bed was a bit hard and squeaky. The hallways smelled smokey and musty, but our room smelled and looked clean. There was fresh coffee in the lobby each morning, and the maid service lady was very pleasant and accommodating. We felt safe there, as we were given a key to get into the building, and a second key to get into our room. The motel is also across the street from the police station and there are a number of restaurants on the same street. Within just a few miles are all the chain restaurants, grocery and retail stores you could possibly want at the Belden Village Mall area. The Pro Football Hall of Fame is about a 10 min. drive, and we also enjoyed the relative proximity to the Berlin, OH Amish country attractions. We even discovered a very clean and comfortable discount Cinemark 10 movie theater nearby where we enjoyed just-off-first-run movies for $1.75 ($1.00 on...

If there was a negative star indicator it would be negative five stars. This place is absolutely filthy and disgusting and it's in the heart of North Canton ohio? I find that really hard to believe! The one gentleman was nice to a certain extent but as they were processing my refund they charge my card again for the same amount! The room looked absolutely disgusting and look like it ... A hole in the wall motel in the middle of nowhere that has been renovated since 1954! I am just at a loss for work so how this place isn't even open with all the health code violations that it has alone! The smell alone smells like nickel! It literally leaves the taste of nickel in your mouth after being in there for 5 minutes! Do not and I mean do not look a stay here you can get an Airbnb for just a couple bucks more and it is literally night and day! As I said I'm just absolutely baffled that this place is even open or allowed to be open! Absolutely terrifying and disgusting! I can't believe human beings stay in there! Trust me I get it what times are tough you try to find the best price you can find in a tough situation however no human being in 2023 should be subject to stay in that place I will definitely be contacting the health department and the Better...
