We are right across from the elevators so its continual noise. Theres some blood spots on the carpet between the beds, and the parking lot is too small for the capacity of the hotel. The check in staff was kind. The location is difficult to get in the entrance. Tv was huge. Room had several furniture pieces.

Easy access to Cincinnati and Newport.

Staff was super friendly. Breakfast was good. It took us 5 minutes to reach the heart of downtown Cincinnati and also Newport. The hotel is next to two liquor stores and the view is nonexistent, however that isn't why we chose this location. We chose this location because of the easy access to Cincinnati and Newport. We used the hotel as a place to sleep at night and eat breakfast. It excelled at both of these items. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good. We would stay here again on our next trip to Cincinnati.
