No room until 2 hours after checkin time

We were there for a game and in a hurry. They didn’t have our room available at checkin time and said they were fully booked. They knew that in advance and should have planned for that. Also, they told us we’d be put in a line for a room but then people were walking up and getting rooms before us when they were waiting less time. They had no system and were just doing whatever they wanted. We were late to our game with nothing but coldness and attitude from them.

Our room was spacious and clean and the bathroom had a comfortable layout with shampoos and body wash inside the shower. Though it was noisy at night due to the street noise of loud motorcycles, cars, and trucks going by since our room was on the street side. If there is anyway to lessen the noise from the street, the hotel should do it.

Really nice hotel. It was clean, staff are excellent, a lot of places are within walking distance, and a safe area. I rarely sleep well at hotels but slept pretty good here. We thought the mattress and pillows were quite comfortable.

The room smelled stale. There were several areas where dust was visible. When checking out and getting our vehicle back from valet they didn't write down our number which lead to us standing outside waiting for 45 mins. They removed the charge from our bill but for a 4 star hotel I was quite disappointed!

This place was incredibly mediocre and honestly disappointing. I’ve stayed here before and remember it being great a couple of years ago. However, this time around the room was dirty and you could tell it was run down. We got there a the elevators were broke which was fine but annoying. Then, the room looked like no one had cleaned it - dusty, crusty shampoo/conditioner in the bathroom and dirty looking shower. This place isn’t cheap for what it is which was simply a let down. Not sure I’d stay here again.

Valet staff was exceptional. Multiple wedding receptions, Reds home games, significant road closures in the immediate area surrounding the hotel due to Cincinnati Pride Parade and an extreme heat wave. Valets were constantly hustling, while remaining professional and pleasant. Despite the chaos, they managed traffic with efficiency and never let the pressure show. Each interaction felt personal and courteous—whether we were coming or going, they greeted us with a smile and ensured a smooth experience. Their dedication and positive attitude truly set the tone for our stay and left a lasting impression. Easily one of the most impressive valet teams we’ve encountered in recent years.
