The location is great if you are attending a Reds or Bengals game. There is no self park option as listed, valet only. Our room was not ready at check in, so getting our car back directly after valet parking was a hassle. Room and hotel were very clean. Our view was a concrete block building next door, we couldn’t tell if it was sunny/ cloudy.

Wonderful Staff.

1. Extremely polite valets; desk staff exceptionally polite, accommodating, friendly and nice. 2. Our room smelled terribly of cologne or something and I have severe sensitivity to scented anything and we always ask for no spray cleaners etc, but this was possibly something spilled by a previous guest, but it should have been noted and flagged by the cleaners; we were fortunately switched to another room, though the view (narrow window on a fire escape) was a drastic downturn from the original room and frankly extremely drab decor if I'm being honest. 3. The sheets had very little "scent/fragrance" from detergent which was great for me, but not completely unscented. - I could still smell it on my pillowcases when I returned home. 4. The pillows were all so fat (I bring my own anyways, but do keep note of hotels with a variety of pillow option - some of us do like a flatter pillow for our neck comfort). 5. we would have liked to have known that the car was blocks away since I was handicapped with a foot boot this trip so it wasn't easy to go and get any items from the car. We didn't see this noted anywhere when we booked the room. 6. Has Renaissance ever considered having rooms that are "Scent-free/fragrance-free?" I know I'm not the only traveler who would appreciate it. 7. We would book here again I think, just based on the excellent staff service which was much, much appreciated.

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.
