Business and pleasure
We were there for a Thursday, Friday and out on Saturday. The drinks and appitizers in the evenings were just what was needed on the cold rainy nights. We were just across the street from the convention center so no stress in driving or finding a parking place. At lunch I came back over and had lunch with my wife. There is a pizza shop there in the lobby. The breakfast was great. We will be back during baseball season with the family.

Great Staff. Room fell short.
The staff went above and beyond for any requests. The room wreaked of smoke (requested non-smoking room). Only enough coffee for one person. Paid for WiFi that only reached the front half of the room. Good people. Disappointing room.

great location for Reds, Bengals, Levee
good place to stay and conveniently located a half block from Roebling Bridge. A quick walk across the bridge landed us right by the Great American Ballpark to see the Reds game. Highly recommended location. Also conveient to Northern KY Convention Center (across street). Minor complaints: bathtub/shower was VERY slow to drain and two missing bulbs above sink.

Pompilio's Italian Restaurant....a very short drive. A "one of a kind Italian joint" that you can't seem to find any more.

Nice hotel, nice location
We stayed at this hotel while attending 2 Cincinnati Reds baseball games. The hotel is within walking distance of the ballpark via a walking bridge over the Ohio River. The room price includes a nice buffet breakfast or cooked to order omlettes. There is also a free happy hour from 5:30 to 7:30. The suites offer extra room to unwind. Hotel staff was very freindly.

Great place to stay for the weekend!
The hotel was in a great location. We went to a Cincinnati Reds game, and just walked across the bridge to the stadium! We took a short cab ride to dinner on Friday night. The staff was very friendly and helpful with directions and dining tips. And the breakfast and happy hours were terrific!

HALF AND HALF
WE WENT TO DINNER AT TWO RESTAURANTS. THE MONTGOMERY INN AND MORTON'S STEAKHOUSE. BOTH WAS EXCELLENT. WE HAD SOME PROBLEMS FINDING THE RIGHT HOT SPOT BUT WE WILL BE BACK AND DO MORE. NOT GETTING TO THE ROOM. FOR THE GOOD PART. THE CLEAN ROOM WAS CLEAN AND WTHE STAFF WAS FRIENDLY. HOWEVER THIS WAS THE WORST STAY WHERE THERE WAS CHILDREN. THEY WERE RUNNING THROUGH THE HALLS AND SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS MORE OF THE DAY. THE PARKING WAS KIND OF WEIRD BUT WE FINDLY GO IT STRAIGHT. MY RECOMMDATION TO THE BOOKING AGENCY AND/OR THE HOTEL IS TO ADVISED ON THEIR ADVERTISEMENTS WHEN THERE WILL A FAMILY WEEKEND SO SOME OF US THAT OR THERE FOR REST AND RELAXATION WON'T BE THERE AT THAT TIME.

Family weekend
Staff was very friendly and polite. We paid extra to bring our pets--clean and non-shedding dogs. But my daughter's bathroom had problems--someone's dried up contact lens was left on sink and during the night the sink backed up with what appeared to be vomit. During breakfast we saw chips on the ledges left from the previous night's "manager's reception".

Great stay!
Nice clean hotel with very large room. The manager's reception and the free breakfast were the icing on the cake. Super easy to catch the shuttle over to Cincinnati.
