583 police calls to same Springfield Township hotel lead to nuisance complaint

SPRINGFIELD TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Trustees in Springfield Township consider a hotel on Arlington Road to be an"unsafe nuisance" and Summit County prosecutors have taken unusual steps to try to shut it down.

Those calls included a shooting, robberies, public intoxication, disorderly conduct, assaults, drug possession, trafficking and sex offenses, according to a complaint filed by Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh. Dean Young, chairman of the board of trustees for Springfield Township, said he has been left frustrated that the owners of the hotel, Hexagon Properties and Vinesh Patadia, have not met demands for changes despite a meeting that detailed concerns more than a year ago.

"Obviously, if we filed a nuisance complaint, we didn't feel it was a safe place. We'll see what changes he makes," Galonski said. J. Alex Quay, an attorney representing Patadia, said the parties also agreed to a no-party and zero-tolerance policy for its guests along with strict enforcement of its"no-stay" list.

We believe these improved safety measures and renewed cooperation efforts between the Township and hotel will continue to serve the parties’ mutual goals of promoting safety and reducing drug and criminal activity in the Springfield community. J. Alex Quay The agreement also indicates that effective Feb. 23, two felony incidents involving people at the hotel occurring within a 90-day period could void the deal and open the door for prosecutors to take additional steps to close the hotel.
