First, I keep coming back here when I travel to see my parents. Value is outstanding! Big rooms that are a bit outdated, but the bed and pillows are super comfortable. Coffee is outstanding. But the highlight of the trip is the warm welcome from the lady at the front desk! It feels like coming home!

We stay here every time we come to Cincy

Comfy beds and friendly staff make this a great place to stay that's much more affordable than staying in Cincinnati itself.
