Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
the checkin process was not smooth, I called ahead of time asking if I could pay for the deposit with a different payment than what I was using to pay for the hotel, when I called they said yes when I got there the young lady didn't know how to do it nor did she try. The hotel is dated, not at all like the pics. The bathroom was nice, our fridge didn't work well and was not very cold, the keurig didn't work, the tv had 5 channels that worked out of a lot. It was just not what was expected for all the reviews and pictures online.

Not worth the price

Had it not been for the outdoor pool we would not have stayed. The room was small, outdated. Toiletries were low or out and had not been restocked. Make-up remover wipes were old and smelled. Only one elevator worked and took forever.

Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Tired property

Friendly and helpful staff. Room was clean. But the whole property itself is a little old and run down. Nothing specially broken or not working. Just tired

The property was old and insufficient. I had to change rooms because the television didn’t work AND more importantly the carpet by the air conditioner was soaking wet. My second room had the same issue with the carpet being soaking wet. The room had a musty odor. Even though the staff was very friendly and accommodating, they worked very hard and was nice

Great weekend

Was there the weekend for the Cincinnati festival. The hotel was at a nice convenience location. They had a swimming party and DJ that Saturday. The breakfast was good. Not only are the staff nice but the guests as well.
