Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Overall clean and basic hotel. Breakfast coffee machine was not working properly and people were waiting for staff to get it working. It would be better if they did not rely on all electronic machines which are prone to breakdown or need constant maintenance. The ac needs filter change or cleaning as it smelled mildewy. They also need to catch up with 21st century and allow streaming on their tvs instead of forcing us to watch crappy cable shows full of commercials.

I did not like the room or hotel due to it being old. I think overall it was clean but the beds the furniture in the rooms the carpet was just old and stained so it wasn’t to my liking. I do think if they upgraded that stuff the hotel would be great. And the staff was really nice

Mediocre

The place seemed to be outdated and lacking in several areas. There were no towels in my room - had to get them at the front desk - I've never seen that before. It wasn't an awful stay but I wouldn't go back.

Love The Blu

We stay here every time we visit Cincy. Fifteen minute drive to downtown Ann's about half the price of hotels in downtown. Super friendly staff and unique style and art in the hotel itself make this a great stay.
