I wasn't sure about location when I first arrived because of surrounding area looking sketchy. I went to check in and staff was super friendly, said area was actually safe and it turned out to be a great location. Plenty of food options within walking distance, 5 minutes from stadiums.

Overall, good value for the money and easy public transportation access to Cincinnati locations. Older, renovated property is well-maintained, and issues, such a very slow draining shower, were promptly addressed. Staff are friendly, kind, and incredibly helpful.
