Staff was friendly and resolved keycard issues instantly. Room was clean and so was the rest of the property. My only two complaints were the bathroom door being kind of annoying (sliding glass door) and the bed was rather stiff. Other than that, I would not mind returning for my next trip to the Cincinnati area. Great stay with plenty of restaurants nearby.

It was all very good. We paid 6dollars for our breakfast each and it was good. Also the hotel is located about ten minutes from the ballpark. Also the hotel staff did not have much information about the location and the city. There are restaurants close by that are good.
