Les meilleurs hôtels à Akron

People used to call Akron, Ohio, the "Rubber Capital of the World," but with today's newfangled way of speaking, it's now the world center of "polymer research." Akron's greatest industry got its start when Dr. Benjamin Franklin Goodrich (yes, *that* Goodrich) opened the first rubber factory. Akrons watched the industry explode with the rising demand of rubber for car tires, and how the money rolled in, bringing with it new Ohio settlers. Today, more than 400 polymer firms make their home in Greater Akron, with thousands on the payroll. In fact, ol' Akron's a manufacturing center, with metal, plastics, chemical and nuclear companies resident. This doesn't make for the most appealing skyline, but it does make for a stable economy, and the city's non-glam reputation makes it an affordable place to live. Thousands of acres of parks and dozens of lakes make getting outdoors in Akron fun, and should you happen to come across angry bees while running through said parks, Akron is known as a major medical center, jammed with hospitals performing up-to-the-minute medical research.
