The elevator wasn't working when we arrived, so we got to use the freight elevator. Our guide was informative and attentive and shared a lot of history about the property while we waited for the elevator (for a long time). The room was lovely. The view was not. We were on the 5th floor and our room window opened to the air conditioning. It was ugly. We kept the drapes closed. The team was very professional and friendly. The bar was nice but understaffed - we came in for a drink after our concert. There was also a Reds game and a big wedding party. We felt awful for the staff - they really needed more help.

We had a great stay here. Super convenient to the ballpark, football stadium, the free connect bus that takes you around town and to Findlay market. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Big thanks to Johnette for helping us with check out.
