Stayed two nights, very noisy from outside traffic. Breakfast was good but there is no bar or restaurant on premises, this should be removed from hotel description because there is nothing close and you are in the hood. Not sure if pool was open or not but water and area around it was gross, parking area is also on the shady side. Hotel is dated, generally our room was clean but the bathroom could use a scrubbing and painted, windows are atrocious.For sure taken off my list

Its a long, hot walk to downtown. However, there is a bus route that stops directly in front of the hotel. There are not many food options in that area. Also, the hotel is kinda old and gross. They have beds and the doors lock, but its not very nice. Have low expectations.

Property is very well located, but the area around is full of homeless or drug users /alcoholic people. The hallways smell to cigarette smoke including the lobbying area. Premises looks like in need of update or maintenence! Rooms are ok but window glasses and some furniture are not clean at all.

Great place to stay for the money if youre going to a Reds, or Bengals game or just in general want to enjoy Cincinnati. Staff was friendly, parking was easy, may be rough for larger vehicles. My room was clean and everything worked as it was supposed to. Sorrounding area seemed kinda rough, I didn't feel super safe walking back from a reds game alone. Definitely recommend Uber or getting a ride if your caught at night. This isn't really a fault of the hotel. Overall great experience, 4/5 stars.

Overall it was decent. Very close to downtown is what I liked. The hotel parking area could use a facelift with better lighting I like that they have cameras and security walks the parking area. The basement overflow parking area steps need cleaning. The hallway smells old. One of the elevators had a broken button. The pool is now open but needs a good scrapping and painting. The pool area could use a good power spray walls and all. They are trying to get it together I will say that.
