Beautiful new. Hotel with no parking. This is not disclosed when booking it says parking available until you drill down. Parking is a long walk in an adjacent garage for a fee. This seems to be a complaint of many and the staff was very aggressive when questioned about it. Manager also called when I left a negative review to educate me further about the parking. Even charged me for then credited it off. It’s Cincinnati you should not have to pay to park in an unaffiliated lot to the hotel. There are other options. Wouldn’t have been bad but the staff attitude regarding is aggressive as many others have said as well

The facility and rooms are okay but there was nothing special about the place. Staff was not overly friendly and did not offer assistance until you literally had to say excuse me to get their attention but they were not rude when they were helping. The parking situation is a bit confusing you have to park elsewhere at night for a cost but during the day is free in the lot. Still don’t fully understand this. The room itself was clean but sheets didn’t fit the pullout couch. And the space is a bit cramped. Breakfast was pretty much nonexistent at 9am on Sunday. If this is important to you just go elsewhere, unless they are going to staff it to keep it stocked. It looks like they normally have scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, cereal, muffins, and a waffle machine. There also was no one emptying the trash or cleaning the dining area so it was a bit gross. There were clean towels in the pool area late Saturday night which is usually an issue at other hotels, so this was a positive.

The hotel and our room were clean but the our room shower had hair in it from last guest. There was no overnight parking. Had to park in a parking garage. The parking garage has no attendant and doesn’t check you out properly. Will not stay there again due to parking issues.

Hotel was nice but the parking situation is AWFUL. Have to pay 10.00 a day to park in a garage that is not a short walk away. Would not stay again because of this.

We were in town for my friend's wedding during Labor Day weekend. This hotel is new and offers all the amenities you need for a pleasant stay. The only complaints I had was the breakfast was not good and the parking is 10.00 per day. There is only parking in the garage of an apartment building complex. The area offers lots of shopping and dining. Safe quiet area, I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel’s proximity to the mall is so convenient! We could’ve walked there but chose to drive and could have a nice meal and go shopping all within a stone’s throw from our accommodations. The staff were friendly, attentive and helpful and the premises were clean. The decor is excellent as well and our studio king room was wonderful! We will definitely stay here again when in the area.

Room was clean, staff was friendly, breakfast was good! Only complaint I have is they moved a family in to the room next to us with a connecting door and the children kept banging on the door. Walls seem paper thin as I could hear whoever the people next door were talking to on their phone. Other than that, one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in!

Our room was nice, the bed comfortable which is so important. However, the shower floor was VERY slippery. My husband and I both were concerned about falling in fact, I would be surprised if someone hasn't already fallen. There is a safety bar at the opposite end of the shower head so of no value. Also, the height of the toilet is low making it uncomfortable to get up. We are in our 80's but in good shape so being handicapped is not the reason for our concern with the shower and toilet.

Room was clean, it just would not get warm. The heat wouldn’t turn on. So I ended up grabbing the extra bedding set and adding that blanket on top of the comforter for additional warmth. Breakfast was good. The power went out a few times in the morning due to the snow storm, but the front desk workers were really good in keeping those of us down there calm.

WiFi kept going out. Data feed to TV was affected as well, could not watch various channels as the video would just die randomly. The TV in room was setup to be 'swivelled' so guest can watch from bed or from sofa, but when swiveled the HDMI cable would come out and the data feed would end.
