I want to thank the front desk staff Rayven she was amazing!! We arrived earlier than expected because of an cancelled travel that shifted for earlier than expected. She did everything to make things less stressful and all the staff worked together to ensure the early check in. The room was very nice and clean. Loved the kitchen area equipped which we didn’t use because we were only there for a day attending the Cardi B concert. I will definitely stay here again.
The staff was outstanding! The room was large, clean, and super comfy.

The room was a bit dirty upon arrival but I cleaned it myself because of the holiday and not wanting to cause any problems or issues with staff. Breakfast was horrible but overall the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Room was clean and spacious, staff were polite and everyone said hello 🤗
Overall, the hotel looked very nice. It was also nice that our room had a kitchen. I did have to switch rooms when I first checked in because the first room had dirty bed linens. The manager, who was very friendly, was very apologetic and immediately switched my room. I would also mention that the mattress was not very comfortable and you could hear street noise very clearly.

The staff was friendly the location was perfect for both the Cincinnati Zoo and the Reds game. I would recommend to anyone.
The standard in the room was over average, breakfast was included so i can’t complain, but it was more options at the weekend. The manager and staff were great and cared for the ones who stayed there ☺️

We didn't stay for breakfast. The lady at the front desk was amazing. The first room she put us in wasn't clean yet so she upgraded us. The room was nice but smelled like old oil.
Huge nice and newly updated rooms. In general it was clean but there was food in the frig and a cleaning rag left behind in the restroom. Excellent price and value compared to the hotels around UC. Short Uber to campus.
Very clean and modern.
No gross carpet anywhere. Tile and luxury vinyl planking only.
Quiet. Breakfast was standard....could use some more fruit or fresh items.
Staff was very friendly and kind.
Parking was easy.
Very close to UC.
We did not use the pool.

This is a newer hotel that is not being maintained very well. The room was not clean. There were crumbs on the nightstand and the floors had not been mopped. Staff was friendly. I was glad I was only staying one night.

Property is in a challenging area. Several trucks were broken into while I was there. Hotel staff were excellent but my room had sticky floors...
There was urine in one of the mattresses and the towels were stained. We booked for 3 guest and didn’t have any sheets or pillows for the sofa bed. All they offered was a credit to stay there again. I won’t stay there again not even for free.
