The vibe of the hotel, staff, and food options were great for a leisurely family trip. The bar staff were great. Our family loved all the Cincinnati history and culture references. We chose an accessible room with a bathtub to make things easier for our child- and do have one suggestion. Photos for each room suggest that bathrooms would have a vanity with counter space. Our room only had a floating sink, which would be nice for wheelchair use, but the sink really needed a shelf at the back or side to store basic toiletries. (soap, toothpaste, tooth brush, etc.)

I wouldn’t stay again at this hotel.

The hotel didn’t give us body lotion. Asked for it. Then the 2nd night of our stay, their safety alarm started to ring extremely loudly at 6:00am. It announced there was a safety issue and we needed to go down using stairs immediately. Everyone filed out in the cold. Then very soon, the fire engines left. There was no staff to tell the guests what had happened. Same morning, their cafe Poindexter was short staffed. The poor gal taking care of all the orders served us cold food and after eating the salmon breakfast I got food poisoning!!! And also, they have horrible pillows. Bring your own if you don’t want a crick in your neck! They have very cute decor, but they are short staffed and obviously asking their staff to do more with less.
