The hotel was amazing. The staff was very friendly and helpful. From the hotel bar, breakfast area, to the modern rooms, the AC Hotel had it all. Plus, it's right next to Great American Ballpark and located on the strip with numerous restaurants and bars. Will definitely be staying there again.

AC Marriott Cincy at the Banks

The location was great! We were there to see the Phillies vs Reds and it was right across the street. A few improvements I’d recommend are: 1. Add a restaurant to the hotel; 2. Supply free coffee/tea/water station in the lobby; 3. Include a free continental breakfast for the price you pay per night; 4. PUT A RUBBER SHOWER MAT IN THE TUB! It is extremely slippery!!

Excellent hotel, close to the ballpark too. Staff was excellent; everyone was welcoming with smiles and good mornings. We were there to see the Reds/Braves, and loved our room with balcony. Excellent bed, super clean room, nice shower, etc. Our booking included breakfast — not typical but tasty with good coffee. Parking is valet only; parking team was great. Check-in was with Deante (not sure I spelled that right) and he was extremely personable and gave us all the info we needed. We’ll plan to stay here again the next time we’re in town!

If you’re going to a Reds game, you can’t beat the location, there are bars and restaurants right around the corner. The bed was a little hard and did not care for the pillows at all, but the air conditioning work great, even when it was 90 outside.
