Everything and everyone was perfect.. Our millennial selves stayed Friday - Sunday over Valentines Day weekend for a comedy show and we will remember it very fondly.. Clean beautiful rooms, excellent breakfasts, coffee machine as soon as you get the elevator! We can’t wait to come back! This was our first REAL outing in 15 years (since our early 20s before kids). I definitely recommend a stay here.. Zero issues and it’s a stoners stone’s throw to Cincinnati 🙃
