Coming from florida I did not know anything about cincinatti. I stayed at this hotel which is in the middle of a unpleasant neighborhood. Would not recommend. When we get to the room one of the beds have stains on the sheets and under the pillow. The rooms have definitely not been renovated. Only around 5 channels on the TV work, the rest says no signal. There was about 10 kids in the back parking lot where everyone parks playing baseball. I had to park my rental far from the door. The breakfast was around $11 a person each day, we paid on our last day for breakfast before the airport and the food was cold. Very disappointing. The front desk staff was very kind and helpful, but due to issues and location I will not be staying again.

When we arrived, the lady at the reception desk was really patient & nice. A US$30 incidental fee hold was charged on our credit card but they charged us twice. They told us it will be returned within 4-5 days. I hope this kind of error doesn’t happen. We also have to change rooms due to stain in the beddings. There were no hand soap, missing 2 bath towels, face towels as well. Otherwise, the other room they gave us was clean & all are good.

Not a great experience at all. We were only passing through for one night (thank God). First, check in time was 3:00, however, we didn’t get a room until 4:40. Then, my son went to use the restroom in the lobby where, apparently, someone had thrown up in the middle of the floor. Bathroom was small and had no ventilation.
