Perfect location for the Flying Pig

I made a last minute reservation for the Flying Pig marathon. The hotel was perfectly located between the expo, pre-race dinner, and a short walk to the race start.

Escape to the City

The Westin was perfect in location, staff attentiveness, and cost. Walking out from the city center, you can experience the riverfront or peruse the surrounding urban streets filled with great innercity dwellings and entrepeneurs. Cincinnati was a great find!

"Tell it like it is...."

A girls weekend was planned for shopping and a concert in Cincinnati. The location of the Westin proved beneficial and we wanted a four star hotel. The room was average and the advertised heavenly bed and shower was...not so heavenly. The linens on the bed were itchy and the bathroom was so small that you needed to be very flexible when exiting the shower and trying to open the door to get out because a slight move in the wrong direction would land you directly in the toilet. Check-in was eventful, as an unsatisfied guest was loudly complaining to the staff. We were not treated with joy upon our arrival, but instead a matter of fact desk clerk who gave us the key to our room. We were not offered any directions, information about the city, etc. Our toilet was "running" when we entered the room and maintenance put a new part on the toilet while we were out as evidenced by the open wrapper left on the sink. The toilet didn't run anymore, but also didn't flush and we had to call to get it repaired again. Parking is $28 per night in the hotel and this charge is extra. There were definitely no perks about staying at the Westin. Sadly, it was not as I expected and far from the description of luxury and relation on their website. I would not stay here again. We weren't asked about our satisfaction on our departure and frankly the guest clerk didn't appear to care about us or anyone else standing in line to check in or out.

There is a new mall about 15 minutes from the hotel - Kenwood Mall - which offers great shopping and nice restaurants.

Fantastic Birthday

We absolutely loved this hotel. I have read previously about dirt in the rooms, and the hotel needing improvements with the decor. I disagree totally. Our room was ready 3 hours before the scheduled check in time. Because it was my husbands birthday, they upgraded us to a better room, with an incredible view. The bed was so comfortable. I have never in my 32 years been able to sleep in a hotel room and I slept like a rock. The view was phenomenol of fountainsquare. Also the room was very quiet, even with the nightlife. We ate at the attached seafood restaurant which can be pricey. I highly recommend the bar menu for Happy hour. We ate Mussels, crab dip, fish tacos, calamari and duck potstickers for under 40 dollars. The food was a large portion and they even personalized the menu for his Birthday. I would recommend this stay for any adult..Maybe not the hotel to stay in with little children due to the adult style pool. This was a great stay for myself and my husband.
