All staff we encountered were phenomenal! We got a king suite with a pullout bed to accommodate an adult child. The first room they put us in was unkempt and dirty. Floors needed vacuumed, fingerprints from kids everywhere, pull out bed had trash and random things jammed in it, stands and tables were dusty, fridge and sink in suite, dirty and unclean as well. My fiance went to the front desk to complain and they immediately put us in another room. Next room in much better condition. Pullout bed has no linens provided, you have to ask for them. The suite was a little more private with a door that separated the king bedroom and pullout bed versus 2 beds in the same room. The hotel itself is outdated and unfortunately if you're looking for a hotel that actually had a riverfront view, this is not the one for you. But the proximity to downtown and also the highway make it a really convenient location. As others have mentioned, dont waste your time on the breakfast, there was nothing but bagels, half frozen donuts, bacon, concentrated juice, apples and oranges and a pathetic coffee bar. If I'd known how disappointing the breakfast was going to be, I would have opted to go to the Waffle House right next door. Overall, our stay was sufficient for the quick overnight stay we had but overpriced for what it really wasn't.

Hotel was clean and staff was courteous. Not many dining options within walking distance, other than fast food. Room rate was high due to NFL game.

Disliked: Amenities
The room itself was decent, but there was no microwave in the room. There was in the hallway to share. When I got up one morning, there were a pair of pants next to it! Both ladies at the desk when I checked in were busy on their phones. Afterwards, were helpful. Was a charge for breakfast the first day I stayed, but not the second. That was odd. Free water and coffee were nice amenities, though tasted like tap water and coffee was not particularly good either. Only non-dairy creamer. Hard to find anything good to eat other than fast food, in the neighborhood. I walked about a mile to Kung Food, which was good. Catholic Church within walking distance. I liked that. Walking disrance (though through a not so good part of town) to Great American Ballpark. If going to see another Reds game, would stay there again, but not wander out after dark.

Meh.
Hotel was ok, staff was very nice. Older hotel, there was nighttime security across the street at night due to recent violence. Wish I had known that before booking. Bed was uncomfortable. I do not recommend adding in breakfast, go find it elsewhere. Our food was cold even after it was freshly brought from the kitchen and there was only one person working and they were out of everything. She was very nice and did her best, but was definitely not a great customer experience.
