Room was warm/hot the entire stay, fridge didn’t work, had to use our cooler for food all week. Staff seemed nice, parking after 3-4 is impossible. Lot fills with truck’s/trailers taking 6-7 spots each. Horrible area, hotel is very dated and could use some attention. We got by, but won’t be staying there again.

Had a quiet room at the end of the hall. Clean for the most part with exception to the bathroom. Saw lots of hair on the floor and in the tub. Breakfast was great. Would stay here again.

The property was great for being one of the last hotels in town with vacancy. We made the mistake of trying to go to a Reds game the same weekend as a music festival. But this hotel had availability at a decent rate and was away from all the traffic. Free parking. Check-in was easy. Free breakfast. And there’s even a public bus called the SouthBank Shuttle Trolley that cost $2 one way or $4 all day and will drop you off right in front of the park. Can’t ask for much more than that!

This hotel worked very well for a stop over night on the road. It is very convenient to the highway, and the free breakfast was surprisingly good. The hotel is clean and the staff are nice. The immediate area is not very attractive, but there is a cute restaurant row about 4 blocks away with a number of good restaurants.
