Love love love it!!! From the friendly staff to the adorable decor. This hotel was made kids and the young at heart. I was in a WKRP in Cincinnati decorated room. Just wonderfully decorated, clean, loved the view of the courtyard! My son goes to Children’s Hospital so we will stay here then as well.

Whimsical hotel near UC and the zoo

A whimsical, modern and comfortable place to stay near UC and the zoo. Can walk to campus and the zoo and there is a cafe for morning food and coffee and a bar for evening food and drink. Staff can be a bit hit or miss but generally highly recommend this Graduate location.

Great front desk staff. Fantastic atmosphere. Not considered for the hotel rating but wanted to note this. Our only complaint was the restaurant bar staff. We tried getting drinks and an appetizer two separate times. First time we were ignored and decided not to wait after 10 minutes. Second time staff walked away without waiting for us to order anything else when they didn’t have what we
